Fully-automated Mosquito Misting System

Fully-automated Mosquito Misting Systems - The easiest way to get rid of the nuisance!

One of the fastest growing segments of the pest control business is the installation of backyard mosquito misting systems. Such systems have grown increasingly popular in the past few years due to concerns over West Nile virus and other mosquito borne diseases.

Mosquito misting systems consist of a series of high pressure tubes and nozzles installed around a backyard or pool area. These systems are connected to a pesticide reservoir, pump and timer, they come on one or more times a day to produce a fine mist of insecticide that kills mosquitoes.

The working principle behind these systems is that the mister nozzles break the spray solution down into very fine particles (50 micron or less size) which remain suspended in the air for varying lengths of time. The idea is that flying mosquitoes present in the air at the same time as the insecticide particles will contact the droplets and die from contact with the insecticide. Depending on wind speed, the mist may persist in the air for 1 to 15 minutes, killing mosquitoes and other flying insects.

As far as safety to humans is concerned, pyrethrum is considered low in toxicity to humans and other mammals. However, as a reasonable precaution, children with asthma should be kept out of backyards for at least 15 minutes after misting systems have run.

Many thousands of mosquito misting systems have been installed in recent years and its proven that where installed and used properly, pyrethrin-based mister systems reduce nuisance mosquito populations. It is yet to be seen how widespread mosquito misting systems will become.
