Mosquito systems

That’s exactly what I was looking for. Are there any downsides that I should be aware of? We have a lot of birds bees and butterflies in the yard. Does it do anything to deter them? We’d definitely like to avoid that.

Thank you very much!

How much is the initial cost on something like that?

Not worth it, the systems are expensive to maintain and clog often.

Just spray talstar yourself, it’s what all the commercial companies use and is the most effective

What rate do you use, and do you broadcast over the entire lawn

Agree with everything fearneaux1 said. We also have the Mist away system and it works great.

You asked about any downsides. The only downside for us is that we had some nozzles that sprayed directly onto our back patio, and it made the aggregate surface somewhat sticky, which made it collect alot more dirt, and required more frequent pressure washing.

Eventually we disabled those nozzles, but still have good coverage due to proximity of other nozzles in nearby flower beds.

Have you had one in the past? Like I said I’m definitely looking for all the good, bad and ugly.

I have not, but had a franchise company for spraying and dealt with a lot of people who had them and stopped using them to do them breaking, being to expensive or just not working. They wanted to switch to a spray service because it was cheaper than the system.

I stopped running the franchise as well because it didn’t work, people will claim it works for them, but that’s simply because the pesticide element (talstar) killed them mosquitos around their house and they just didn’t come back for whatever reason.

All the barrier sprays are bs.

The misting systems are a giant waste of money when just getting a little pump sprayer and ordering talstar off amazon and spraying it on your fence, bricks etc a coupe times a year will yield the same results.

Mixing rate is on the label for talstar, 3 oz per gallon I believe, it’s been years since I had the company and did it.
