Mosquito Barrier Treatment vs. Home Shield Pest Control

In short, Mosquito Barrier Treatment focuses on mosquitoes and ticks in your yard, while Squad Home Shield® offers broader Newton pest control for your home and outdoor spaces.

Mosquito Squad Plus of Newton offers recurring treatments for both these services. However, they address different pest control needs. Understanding those differences can help you decide which is the better fit for your property.

What Does Mosquito Barrier Treatment Include?

Our traditional Mosquito Barrier Treatment is designed to significantly reduce mosquito activity around your yard, with tick control included. If you love spending time on your Newton patio, entertaining guests in the backyard, or letting the kids play outside, recurring mosquito barrier treatments can make those activities considerably more comfortable.

Here’s what our Mosquito Barrier Treatment service includes:

The current starting price is around $115 per treatment
The service season is six months long
The treatment frequency is every 21 days
The service targets mosquitoes and ticks
Additional options include fly and gnat control (ask about these)

For over two decades, our Mosquito Barrier Treatment has been a favorite, chosen again (and again) for up to a 95% reduction in mosquito populations around residential properties. Treatments are scheduled throughout the season to help maintain control as new mosquitoes emerge or enter your property from neighboring properties.

How Is Squad Home Shield Different?

Squad Home Shield takes a more comprehensive approach to outdoor (and indoor) pest control. In addition to mosquitoes and ticks, this service also addresses common would-be home invading pests, such as ants, spiders, and cockroaches. What’s more, it includes Barrier Treatment Plus, which expands upon outdoor pest coverage throughout your favorite outdoor spaces.

Home Shield is especially helpful for Newton-area residents who experience pest problems both inside and outside their homes.

Here’s What Our Squad Home Shield Includes:

The current starting price is around $144 per treatment
The service season for Home Shield is seven months
The treatment frequency is every 21 days
The service targets mosquitoes, ticks, ants, spiders, cockroaches, and more
The service includes Barrier Treatment Plus

Home Shield combines mosquito reduction with expanded protection against pests that might invade your indoor living spaces.

Is Home Shield Worth the Additional Cost?

If your main concern is mosquitoes and ticks, our traditional Mosquito Barrier Treatment will still serve you well. However, Squad Home Shield can certainly be well worth the small additional cost, especially for residents who regularly deal with more than just mosquitoes and ticks. If you’re finding spiders around your home’s exterior, ants trailing their way into your kitchen, or other unwanted pests indoors, Home Shield can provide needed additional coverage.

With 2026 starting prices differing by just $29 per treatment, and an additional month of service, Home Shield pest control could make a noticeable difference in the pest pressures you experience just outside your home (and sometimes, inside it).

With either of these plans, you’ll receive regularly scheduled treatments and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
