Mosquito Misting Systems are designed to give immediate relief from mosquitoes as well as long term mosquito control through disrupting the mosquito breeding cycle. Mosquito Misters work by spraying a fine mist of botanical insecticide onto your landscape at scheduled intervals (typically dawn and dusk). The portable units allow you to take your mister wherever you need it or mist multiple areas without the hassle of installing a permanent system while built in systems offer the convenience of covering large areas with little effort. The summer season is too short to be uncomfortable in your own yard, take a stand against biting insects.

Mosquito Misting systems are highly effective at reducing mosquito populations when operated properly. Like any other mosquito control device it will help to understand how mosquitoes breed and feed before implimenting your mosquito attack plan.

Mosquito Breeding Cycles

Only female mosquitoes feed on human blood. They do this to help in breeding and a blood meal is required for the female mosquito to lay her eggs.  Most mosquito species feed near dawn and dusk however some species like the Asian Tiger mosquito will feed at all times of the day.  Understanding this feeding cycle will help you control the mosquito population by ensuring that you're operating your mosquito mister at the appropriate time of day.  Simply note the times of day when mosquitoes seem to be most active in your area.

Next take a moment to search out the mosquitos holding area.  Often mosquitoes will hold up in foliage like shrubs and gardens or heavily shaded damp areas.  This is because mosquitoes can easily die from dehydration.  So search out areas in your yard that seem to be holding heavy populations of mosquitoes and be sure to set you your mister somewhere near or in between your living space and the mosquito population.

Also take note of wind direction, you'll want to be sure that your mosquito mister is placed up wind from the main source of mosquitoes.  This will ensure that the mist travels into the breeding area killing mosquitoes on contact.  As you can tell placement and the time of day you operate your mosquito mister is critical.  Take some extra time to ensure that you've got your mosquito mister set up in the best area and operating at the most effective time of day and you'll see great results.
