Mosquito & Tick Control FAQs

Home » Mosquito & Tick Control » FAQ

Find answers to frequently asked questions about our mosquito and tick treatment programs below, or give us a call at 571-370-9800 to speak with a mosquito and tick control specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the size of my property matter?

No, the pricing is the same for all properties up to a half-acre. We focus our mosquito and tick control treatment on common-use areas, such as pools, decks, patios, and swing sets. The spray creates a vertical barrier that strengthens with each application. In some instances, customers choose to treat beyond the common use areas of their property, and this is estimated on a case-by-case basis.

How long does each treatment take?

Each application of the barrier treatment typically takes less than 10 minutes.

How much does mosquito & tick control cost?

For properties up to a half-acre, the cost is around $55 per treatment.

Do I need to be home when you treat my property?

No, you do not need to be home for us to treat your property. Your technician will typically knock on your door to introduce themselves and walk the property with you on their first visit. However, if you’re not home, they will still spray and introduce themselves on another visit.

How quickly can I begin using my property after you’ve sprayed?

You may begin using your property as soon as the spray has dried, usually within 15 minutes.

How frequently do you treat my property?

We apply treatments every 10-17 days for mosquitoes and every 60 days for ticks.

When does your program start and end?

We generally start spraying for ticks in March and mosquitoes in April. Our services continue through the end of October.

Where is your service area?

We provide mosquito and tick control in the Northern Virginia area, including Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, and Price William Counties. Our service area covers Alexandria, Falls Church, Manassas, Herndon, Vienna, Leesburg, Purcellville, Dumfries, and more. We are growing into more areas by the day, so call us at 571-370-9800 even if you think you’re outside our service area.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Absolutely! If you’re not satisfied after your first seasonal spray, we will re-spray at no additional cost to you, or refund 100% of your money.

How soon can my kids return to the yard after application?

Our family-friendly mosquito treatment dries in just 15 minutes, so you and your family can get back to enjoying your yard sooner.

How soon can my pets return to the yard after application?

Our pet-friendly mosquito treatment dries in just 15 minutes, keeping disruptions to playtime, walks, and backyard relaxation to a minimum.

What Our Mosquito Shield Customers are Saying

I was sick and tired of mosquitoes ruining my evenings in the backyard. After trying a couple of different pest control companies, Mosquito Shield of Dulles was proven the most effective and lasting treatment. Now my family and guests can enjoy our backyard without applying tons of repellents.
