Mosquito Misting Systems
how does it work?
machine unit
A 55-gallon barrel holds a mixture of water and insecticide, with the programmable machine on the lid of the unit.
nozzle circuit
A series of misting nozzles are installed along the perimeter of your yard, typically on the eaves of the house, and along the fence.
Misting
The system is set to mist for 30-45 seconds, two or three times each day, ideally when mosquitoes are most active (dawn & dusk.)
I recently built a pergola and bought a new grill with the intention of spending more time in my backyard. But, these huge Texas mosquitoes made it IMPOSSIBLE. I called a bunch of companies but was super impressed by No More Mosquito. They SAVED the day!! Now that we have a misting system, I can never live without one. It helps tremendously with mosquitoes, but we've also noticed we have less spiders and flies. Call them right now and Daniel will help you.

Frequently asked questions
what chemical is used in mosquito misting systems?
Your misting system sprays a pyrethroid chemical solution.
For more information about the chemical, click here.
how do mosquito misting systems work?
The chemical affects the mosquitoes’ nervous system, first inhibiting them from biting, and then leading to immobilization, paralysis, and death.
will mosquito control chemicals harm my kids or pets?
While no pesticide should be regarded as 100% risk free, pyrethroid chemical is derived from the chrysanthemum flower and considered to be very low in toxicity to plants, pets, and people.
Per the CDC, “pyrethroids can be used for public health mosquito control programs without posing unreasonable risks to human health when applied according to the label.”
will mosquito misting systems kill other insects?
Pyrethroids are commonly used to treat many types of insects. However, due to the misting dilution rate and targeted spray times, it is primarily effective to the mosquito population.
Contact us to discuss targeting other insects (such as spiders) or avoiding harm to other insects (such as bees).
will mosquito treatments kill my plants?
The mist will not harm plants, since the chemical dosage is too low for them to be affected.
how long does it take to install a mosquito misting system?
Installation time will depend on how many nozzles your system has. Most installs typically take 4-6 hours. You do not need to be home – we just need access to your yard.
how to maintain a mosquito misting system?
How often your system needs to be refilled will depend on how many nozzles you have. It is important to perform regular maintenance on the system to ensure there are no clogged nozzles, leaks in the tubing, and the motor and pump are in good condition.
We take care of all of that for you with our Service Plan. With simple recurring billing and automated service visit scheduling, we work hard to make sure you never have to think about mosquitoes again.
where does the mosquito misting system machine unit go in my yard?
The unit is typically installed on the side of your home by a power source, most commonly near the A/C unit.
can a mosquito misting system be turned off in the winter?
While the mosquito population is significantly reduced in the winter months, here in Houston, they never really go away. So, it is beneficial to keep your system running to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.
Additionally, the system is designed to be misting several times each day. If your system hasn’t been operational for an extended period of time, it is possible to experience issues, such as:
- Clogged nozzles
- Stagnant chemical
- Weak pump
We recommend running the system on lower settings, instead of turning the unit off.
