BATON ROUGE, La., Sept. 16, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As concerns continue to rise over the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses such as the Zika virus, West Nile, and EEE, residents of Baton Rouge, LA have gained a partner in the fight to repel the dreaded pests.
Mosquito Shield of Baton Rouge opened its doors this summer to offer a respite for those looking for mosquito repelling options. The company provides residential mosquito control services that utilize a proprietary blend of oils and control agents to reduce the mosquito population for its customers.
The Baton Rouge franchise was established by Ben Lauck.
"I am a life-long resident of Baton Rouge, an alum of LSU, and a decade-long supporter of the Tiger Athletic Foundation," said Lauck. "I have worked on consulting projects all around South Louisiana and I am very familiar with the landscape."
Lauck was attracted to the Mosquito Shield franchise opportunity for personal reasons.
"As the parent of a young child who loves to play outside and as someone whose own social gatherings are centered on being outside more than ever, I understand the need for a service to rid our yards of mosquitoes," he said. "Southern Louisiana is known for its culture that includes cooking outdoors in giant cast-iron pots, on the grill, smoker, or boiling our great local seafood."
Mosquito Shield was founded in 2001 to fill the need for an effective and affordable residential mosquito and tick treatment. The company developed Mosquito Protection Barrier™(MPB), a patent pending spray that rids properties of the existing mosquito population and builds a barrier around that property for a virtually mosquito-free environment. MPB includes FlexBlend, the industry's only intelligent spray-blend technology.
The continuous 10-17 day treatment cycle throughout the season strengthens the barrier, reducing the risk of mosquito and tick-borne illnesses while also providing a haven for outdoor living and entertaining.
Mosquito Shield has invested over 15 years of research and development in the perfection of its impenetrable Mosquito Protection Barrier™. The company is setting the industry standard for mosquito and tick control and setting itself apart with 95-97 percent customer approval ratings for service, value, and effectiveness.
Mosquito Shield currently offers mosquito control and tick control services throughout the country, delivering effective solutions, professional service, and guaranteed results to a rapidly growing base of satisfied customers.
"Our goal is to be the leading provider of residential mosquito control in the area," said Lauck. "We want to give the residents of Baton Rouge the peace of mind that comes with knowing their yards will be mosquito free. I spent more than a year researching this industry and the options available. It became very clear that Mosquito Shield was the leader in customer satisfaction and generating superior results."
