Application Method

Install automated mosquito misting system with spray nozzles mounted on fence posts, structures, or landscape throughout property. System sprays insecticide mist (typically pyrethrins or synthetic pyrethroids) on programmed schedule (usually dawn and dusk when mosquitoes most active). Reservoir tank holds concentrated insecticide mixed with water. Controller activates pump which distributes mist through nozzles creating barrier zone. Install nozzles 8-12 feet apart at 8-10 feet height around property perimeter and outdoor living areas. Service includes: refilling reservoir, adjusting spray timing, cleaning nozzles, checking for leaks, and maintaining equipment. Provides automated mosquito control for upscale residential and commercial properties without requiring scheduled spray visits.

Timing

Install before mosquito season begins. Program to spray at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes most active.

Frequency

Refill reservoir monthly during mosquito season. Service equipment quarterly. Winterize system in cold climates.

Preparation Required

Survey property for optimal nozzle placement. Verify water source and electrical power available. Obtain required permits. Calculate number of nozzles needed. Identify environmentally sensitive areas to avoid.

Follow-up Required

Provide customer with operation instructions. Schedule regular service visits for refilling and maintenance. Document all service and insecticide usage. Monitor for mosquito control effectiveness and adjust spray timing or nozzle placement as needed.
