Insecticide
What chemicals do you use in my system?
We use a biodegradable, plant-based insecticide called pyrethrum, derived from chrysanthemum flowers. It’s safe, highly effective, and approved for residential use.
How safe is pyrethrum?
Pyrethrum is one of the safest insecticides available. It’s non-toxic to humans, pets, and plants when used as directed, and it breaks down quickly in sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor use!
Is pyrethrum effective against other insects?
Yes! In addition to mosquitoes, pyrethrum also helps eliminate:
- Gnats
- Fleas
- Wasps
- Roaches
- Spiders
- Other common flying and crawling pests
Will insecticides with pyrethrum harm my pets?
Nope! Pyrethrum is pet-safe once dry. We recommend keeping animals indoors during application, but they can safely return once the mist settles (typically after 15 - 30 minutes).
Misting Systems
What is a backyard mosquito system and how does it work?
A backyard mosquito system, also known as a mosquito spray system, is a device that sprays a fine mist of insecticide over a large area to kill or repel mosquitoes. It is a system for backyard use, allowing for regular and consistent mosquito control.
What kind of properties benefit from a misting system?
Our automatic misting systems are ideal for:
- Residential backyards and patios
- Outdoor kitchens and pool areas
- Horse barns and livestock enclosures
- Event venues and wedding sites
- Commercial properties with outdoor seating
How long does a typical installation take?
Most misting system installations are completed in one day. Larger or more complex properties may take slightly longer, but we always work efficiently to get your system up and running quickly.
What warranty is included with my system?
We offer a limited warranty on all parts and installation. Coverage includes system components, programming units, and our workmanship. Learn more here.
Maintenance
What kind of maintenance does the system require?
Very little! We recommend:
- Checking the tank fluid monthly
- Inspecting nozzles every few months
- Scheduling a seasonal system check to ensure optimal performance
How often should the system run?
We customize the timer settings based on your property size and needs, but most systems mist 2 - 3 times per day for 30 - 45 seconds per cycle. You can also activate manual misting with the push of a button.
How long before I need a tank refill?
It depends on how often your system runs. Most tanks last 3 to 6 weeks before needing a refill. We’ll set up a refill schedule that works best for your usage and season.
How do I order a refill?
You can order directly from us or request a refill kit during your support call.
What if my system isn't spraying properly?
