What type of maintenance does the Mosquito Mist Away system require?
- The intake filter that hangs inside the drum should be rinsed each time you refill the drum. Washing the intake filter prevents clogging of the nozzle tips and filters.
- The tank should be washed out at least once a year to remove any natural bacterial growth or residue accumulation. There are no preservatives or chlorines in the mixture because these chemicals would interfere with the natural ingredients in the insecticide.
- When refilling the system, make sure the pressure is set below 200 PSI. Doing this prolongs the life of your pump.
- If possible, use softened or filtered water to prolong the life of the tips and filters.

to refill your 55-gallon resevoir every 3-6 months. This is determined by the
frequency and duration of each spraying cycle.

installation and maintenance costs are based on the specific size and design
of your home and yard, and usually comparable to the cost of an irrigation system.

interfere with the operation. If you are concerned about your specific situation,
please contact us.
Will the system look exactly like the ones pictured?
Probably, but the manufacturer does retain the right to substitute a like or
better product. For example, if the manufacturer develops a better remote control,
the new remote may not look exactly like the one pictured, but will work as well,
if not better!
Is the Mosquito Mist Away System easy to operate?
Yes, all you do is set the timer, and at the designated time, a light mist is
released into the air eliminating bothersome mosquitos and biting insects.
WillPyrethrin kill butterflies, dragonflies and pollinating bees?
We set up the system to opereate during the times when mosquitos are
most active, at dawn and dusk. And Pyrethrin degrades in sunlight, so during the day,
when butterflies, dragonflies are most active, they probably won't be affected. However, pyrethrin and pyrethrenoids are toxic to honeybees.
