Mosquito Shield

Mosquito Shield was founded in September of 2001 in response to the absence of an effective residential mosquito control service and the inadequacy of control products such as body sprays, candles and mosquito magnets. Now, over 1 million treatments and 50 franchise locations later, Mosquito Shield's proprietary control products and specialized spray techniques keep tens of thousands of American homes mosquito and tick-free every year.
