Overview on Mosquito Misting System

By on May 20, 2008

The intermittent use of mosquito misting system decreases the population of mosquitoes to quite an extent. The advantages of the misting system, are that it repels mosquitoes very easily, and once installed, you need only to think of refilling it once a year.


The installation of the mosquito misting system is quite simple. First of all, you would be required to decide on the area you want to cover. It is important to decide on the boundary area, which is the perimeter of your backyard, and then look out for areas within the boundary area, for instance, pools, decks, other entertainment areas, etc. Draw a rough sketch of the areas you want to cover and present it to the technician. The technician would then guide you with the number of nozzles and other installation requirements. You can then go about installing the system on your own, thus saving a lot of money.

Also, choosing the right mosquito misting concentration is important since that would depend on personal requirements. There are low toxic organic based misting concentrations that do not leave any residue. They emit a light odor that can be neutralized using Odor pro.

The reservoir should be installed on a level ground. The reservoir would be heavy when filled. After installing the reservoir, ensure the nozzles have been installed 12 to 15 feet apart the boundary area and 10 feet around the areas within the boundary. Do not forget to test the system before loading it with misting concentrates. Check out for any leakages or if the valves are functioning properly. After testing the system, load the misting concentrates and water into the reservoir. Ensure that you have put on your safety gloves and goggles before loading the misting concentrates in the reservoir.

Also, one should bear in mind that installing a mosquito misting system is not the ultimate solution for mosquito control. You would still be required to keep check on the mosquito breeding grounds, for instance emptying stagnant water, containers, drain pools, keep gutters unclogged, etc. For more tips on mosquito prevention, visit www.PeskySkeeters.com.
