Mosquito Shield Franchise Overview

About Mosquito Shield

Mosquito Shield is a mosquito and tick control company that uses professionally applied mosquito spray to kill and repel mosquitoes and ticks. Using a three-pronged approach and a one-of-a-kind protection blend treatment, Mosquito Shield masks carbon dioxide - which attracts mosquitos - and repels them away from the property. The spray adheres to vegetation, wood, stone/brick and other organic materials, creating a vertical barrier that strengthens with each visit. Only Mosquito Shield uses FlexBlend™ spray technology and monitors both mosquito population and weather conditions to maximize effectiveness, making adjustments when needed, to deliver superior results and satisfaction.

Franchise History

Mosquito Shield was conceptualized in 2001 by David Briggs after he determined that available mosquito control products like body sprays, candles and mosquito magnets were inadequate. The lack of an effective residential mosquito control service also inspired his research. During the next 15 years, Briggs and Mosquito Shield developers researched the science behind the life cycle of mosquitoes, tested various application methods and products and determined optimum application frequency. Early testing showed that just applying standard control materials (with water) didn’t deliver measurable and consistent results. After further study, Briggs developed a patent-pending barrier spray made of all-natural oils and control materials that, regardless of when started, lasts for weeks and grows in strength as the season progresses.
