Is Mosquito Misting Safe?

Many homeowners find the flying insects in their backyard to be such a nuisance that they opt to install a mosquito misting system. Is this the right solution for you? Let's take a closer look at how mosquito misting systems work, what pesticides they employ and whether they are safe for your family and pets.

What Is Mosquito Misting?

Mosquito misting is a fully automated method of controlling flying insects like mosquitos, midges, fleas and ticks in a defined area by discreetly installing misting nozzles at strategic points. The nozzles connect to a system of hoses to spray a fine mist of botanical pesticide that kills pests on contact and then creates a barrier to other pests for up to 24 hours. The system can be programmed to spray at specific times or operated on demand by remote control.

What Chemicals Are Used in Misting Systems?

All the pesticides MosquitoNix® uses in its various pest control solutions are botanical-based and biodegradable. MosquitoNix uses an exclusive formula called MosquitoNix PRO Botanical derived from essential oils like Cedar Wood Oil, Cinnamon Oil and Thyme Oil, as well as biological compounds that quickly reduce mosquito populations in your yard. The ingredients used in our mosquito misting spray are derived from organic sources without the use of synthetic chemicals.

Not only is this modern green formula organic, but it's also safe for adults, kids, pets, gardens, wildlife and beneficial insects. Due to its use of essential oils and organic compounds, mammals, birds and fish are completely unaffected by the spray as it only targets insects. MosquitoNix PRO Botanical is also friendly towards pollinators like bees and butterflies as it targets the life cycle of harmful pests like mosquitoes and gnats.

MosquitoNix Pro Botanical is a safe solution to your pest control problem. It also won't smell of synthetic chemicals and has a fresh botanical scent that may even enhance your outdoor time. The EPA provides additional information about outdoor automatic misting systems that outlines their findings regarding the pesticides commonly used. MosquitoNix technicians are licensed and trained in EPA-approved application methods.
