MISTING SYSTEMS

Mosquito Misting Systems

What are Mosquito Misting Systems?

Outdoor residential misting systems are application systems designed to spray pesticides or repellents in a fine mist to kill and/or repel mosquitoes and other insects outdoors. Misting Systems include spray nozzles that are mounted around the perimeter of a home, commercial building, in the lawn or landscaping, or on parts of the house or fence. The spray nozzles are connected by tubing to a supply of insecticide or repellent. Some misting systems may be turned on at present intervals using a timer while others may be turned on using a remote, or may be activated using a on demand switch.

When having a system installed...

• Always use installers and service technicians that comply with the state license, certification and registration requirements.

• Make sure that the installer has calibrated the system to apply no more than the maximum daily application rate as specified on the pesticide lable.

• Make sure the nozzles are directed to spray toward that targeted area and away from eating/cooking areas and any water body including swimming pools and fish ponds.

• Placing nozzles less than 10 ft. from the ground will reduce chemical drift. Chemical drift may effect other people, animals and surrounding environment not in your yard area.

• Set nozzles to direct mist away from outside air conditioners or other home air intakes.

• Make sure both the reservoir and operating system are securely locked and inaccessible to children at all times to avoid potential poisoning accidents.
