Do Automatic Mosquito Misting Systems Really Work?

Posted by Mosquito Squad

June 14, 2024

Automatic mosquito misting systems are small machines that are strategically installed by pest control professionals around a residential or commercial property that is suffering from mosquito infestations. Misting systems release automated pest control treatments to the area for which they are programmed. Typically, these systems function on a remote-controlled basis and require little to no maintenance from homeowners. Mosquito misting systems work by releasing a 30-second spray treatment 2-4 times per day depending on pest control needs, helping to defend a yard against mosquitoes and other bugs. The mosquito misters’ nozzles are discreet in appearance, and the number of machines needed varies from property to property.

Do They Work?

If your family is always on the go or you simply prefer not to schedule routine pest control treatment, automatic mosquito control might be a preferable option. It is worth noting that in places where these machines are lawful, they do assist in thinning out mosquito populations and those of other flying insects. However, though automatic misters were once a popular pest control method, they are few and far between in the present day. Environmental consciousness has played a role in the disappearance of these, and homeowners have realized that the most efficient forms of treatment come from professionals who are trained to inspect and identify pest problem areas. Mosquito Squad offers professionally administered pest control spray services, spearheaded by our experienced and well-trained technicians.

Benefits of Outdoor Mosquito Misting Systems

  • Automatic release of spray
  • Consistent pest control treatment
  • Inconspicuous design that keeps your landscape design pristine
  • Remote controls allow for targeted timed sprays during the most active times of day for mosquitoes.*

*Note that you should always program your automatic mosquito mister for times when people and pets are not around. Though anti-mosquito mists are typically vetted and safe, it is still important to take every possible precaution, and always be a responsible neighbor!

What Are Barrier Spray Treatments?

In the early 2000s, Mosquito Squad’s traditional barrier spray treatment was developed. Since then, the proprietary blend has helped protect more than 300,000 properties across 36 states–both residential and commercial. Mosquito Squad is proud to now offer a natural aromatic and essential-oil based spray treatment as an alternative option to the traditional barrier spray blend.

Mosquito Squad technicians administer the treatment around the perimeter of the mosquito-infested property in question, carefully concentrating on areas that could turn into potential breeding grounds or already have become such. Similar to short-term “fogging,” barrier spray adheres safely to surfaces around your home where mosquitoes may gather, working to repel incoming swarms for up to three weeks at a time. Each barrier spray treatment used by Mosquito Squad’s experienced professionals reduces up to 85-90% of existing mosquito populations for up to 21 days following spray treatment.

While high-quality mosquito misting systems can indeed help keep outdoor spaces protected with a light treatment that repels mosquitoes and discourages them from laying eggs, pest control administered by human hands and minds cannot be beat when it comes to results.
