Q. What natural insecticide does the system use?

A. Pyrethrum is the primary active agent in our liquid solutions. Pyrethrum is extracted from a specific type of Chrysanthemum known as the African Daisy. The Pyrethrum is mixed with water. Water comprises more than 99.7% of the final mixture. None of our liquid solutions contain petroleum distillates. There will be no oily walls, windows, or patios to contend with and no petroleum to ingest.

Q. How often will my system need refilling? A. Our precision engineered, no-drip spray nozzles each emit approximately 1.1 ounce of solution per minute of operation. Refill frequency will vary with each installation depending on the number of nozzles and the duration and frequency of misting cycles per day.  You will receive an estimated refill schedule at the time your free estimated is provided.

Q. What kind of maintenance does the mosquito misting system require?

A. A properly maintained system will have a long life and operate more efficiently.  We will provide all the necessary maintenance for your system through our “Never Empty/Never Worry” service.   Ask your representative for details.

Q. How much will my mosquito misting system cost?

A. A mosquito control misting system is comparable in price to a sprinkler system installation.
The system cost is dependent on several factors including the size of the area to be protected, the number of nozzles required, and the complexity of installation.

Q. Will my system eliminate indoor bugs as well as outdoor?

A. Your system will be eliminating above-ground insects from your property. This has the added benefit of safely reducing the number of indoor bugs, but will not eliminate them entirely.

Q. How will my system look on my home?

Q. Is the system dangerous?

A. Not unless you're cold-blooded. The insecticide used is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and cannot be metabolized by warm blooded animals. Pyrethrum is rapidly broken down by sunlight and air into harmless molecules eliminating the risk of run-off contamination. It leaves no residue and insect resistance is almost nonexistent.

Q. What diseases are carried by mosquitoes?

A. Mosquitoes are known carriers of several diseases including West Nile Virus (West Nile Encephalitis), Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis, Heartworm, Malaria (Tropical areas), Dengue Fever, Yellow Fever, and Rift Valley Fever. For more information on any of these diseases, please visit the Center for Disease Control's website regarding Mosquito-Borne Diseases.
