How Mosquito Mist Systems Work

Mosquito mist systems work by regularly spraying a desired protection area through misting nozzles connected by small diameter (1/4″) nylon tubing lines with a highly diluted insecticide and water mixture in the 150 to 240 PSI range.  Eventually (over the course of a few weeks) you will have eliminated all of the adult mosquitoes living within your area.   The mosquito insecticides approved for use in these mist systems kill insects after contact by affecting their nervous systems.  Natural and synthetic pyrethrins are low in toxicity and the most effective.  Repellents such as cedar, orange and garlic oils can be used as non-toxic alternatives.  Pyrethrin based insecticides are contact sprays, this means you are only killing bugs when the mosquito mist makes contact.   Larvicide dunks or granules should be placed monthly into areas that periodically collect standing water for a complete mosquito management program. 

The vast majority of mosquito species tend to become active 1 to 3 hours before dusk and are most active at night feeding primarily on birds during the 10:00PM to 6:00AM time slot.  There are also species that are active during daylight hours.  Every property is a unique situation and to maximize the effectiveness you as the homeowner will need to experiment with the times you spray, for how long and with what solution.  Excellent mosquito control can be achieved either by spraying more frequently, shorter spray durations or longer spray times less frequently.  The homeowner is the results barometer and should make the adjustments necessary to responsibly eliminate and control the mosquitoes in his or her particular area.

Mosquito Mist System Functionality:

The MosquitoMax mist system was engineered to allow the operator the ability to kill and control mosquitoes without having to measure and mix chemicals.  Once the nozzle quantity and spray times are entered, the self-contained mosquito mist system will pump the desired amount of concentrated insecticide into a vented mixing tank plumbed to water.  The mist system can be programmed for on demand only, for one or seven days a week, from 5 to 120 nozzles and from 15 to 120 seconds per spray cycle using any approved mosquito insecticide. Two to three minutes per day on average should provide good initial results and can be reduced and tailored to your own needs after initial infestations are brought under control.

Mosquito Spray System Safety:

Our mosquito spray system is lockable and incorporates an air-gap, which prevents contaminated water from entering the water supply line.  Tremendous agitation takes place in our mist system during every spray cycle, which produces maximum efficacy whether using Pyrethrins or Repellents.  Additional benefits are consistent insecticide to water ratios and constant fluid turn over which eliminates chemical separation and fungus growth.

Economical and Environmental Benefits of Mosquito Control:

The MosquitoMax system is at minimum 10% more efficient than 55 gallon reservoir systems and delivers the added benefit of chemical strength adjustment and chemical rotation.  These exclusive features allow the operator to determine the amount and type of insecticide required for effective mosquito control.  This practice can reduce operating costs and is environmentally responsible.

Tankless Mosquito Misting System Maintenance:

Our tankless mosquito misting system requires the periodic cleaning of a stainless steel filter.  Concentrated insecticide is easily replenished by pouring into a large mouth graduated 128 oz. container which has two times the capacity of a 55 gallon drum.  The mist system is completely securable by utilizing a locking device.  Our electronic controller is the most advanced in the industry and the mosquito misting system can be activated from the control panel on the unit or via a hard wired momentary switch inside your home.  A 5 button wireless remote control included with every unit allows spray on demand, 24 hour suspend or a spray water only function which keeps your nozzles clear during a prolonged absence from your property.
