Our mosquito control system is comprised of a 55-gallon drum, pump, motor, and pressure gauge that we connect to a network of spray nozzles installed strategically around your residential or commercial property. Using an automated timer to release a liquid insecticide solution that kills and repels mosquitos and other annoying insects, our system is hassle-free, simple to operate, and requires very little intervention from the owner. We’ll program the automatic timer and show you how to operate it on installation day. When the timer goes off, the system releases a brief, fine mist through the installed spray nozzles. That mist is all you need to control biting insects!

Our misting systems repel and kill mosquitos, no-see-ums, flies, fleas, gnats, ticks, wasps, and other types of biting, buzzing insects. They also repel spiders and their unsightly, hard-to-reach webs. Our automatic insect control systems and insecticides have been used in San Antonio to repel and kill annoying insects

Technically, you won’t ever have to worry about this because we do it for you! The frequency at which we’ll need to refill your tank will vary for each installation/client. Usage is determined by the number of nozzles, as well as the number and duration of firing cycles used within a 24-hour period. Once we custom-design your mosquito misting system, we’ll be able to determine the best routine maintenance schedule.

Whenever you feel an additional treatment is necessary, use the remote control from anywhere in your home to manually activate the system. Use this function before parties or outdoor dinning.

The system is totally automatic. Our technicians will set the time initially to activate three times a day for thirty-second intervals at sunrise, sunset and two hours after sunset to control your insect problem. As seasons change, you may increase the number of spray settings as needed for effective insect control.

By visiting you for your consultation, we’re able to answer all of these questions to give you the best professional recommendations for your insect control needs. Sometimes a misting system is an ideal solution for your problem, and sometimes it’s not. There are a number of ways to approach any problem, and we prefer being hands-on to determine the best solutions for our clients.
