Engineering a mosquito misting system requires a deep understanding of the characteristics of a property, proper design for efficient operation, and proprietary technology such as micro-misting nozzles

A mosquito misting system is simply more effective than traditional spraying methods at controlling mosquito populations in outdoor spaces, both residential and commercial. It will also protect beneficial insects better when it is well engineered, correctly installed, and used with the proper type of insecticide. A-Niks uses a combination of sound engineering principles and proprietary technical components to deliver insecticides in a very fine mist, targeting mosquitoes and other flying insects. How will we engineer your mosquito misting system? How will it work?

Components of a Mosquito Misting System

A mosquito misting system comprises several essential components that work together to deliver insecticide effectively. These components include:

Nozzles: The nozzles are strategically placed around the perimeter of the outdoor space and are responsible for releasing the insecticide solution as a fine mist. Nozzles are typically designed with anti-drip features to prevent unwanted dripping of the insecticide when the system is not in operation.
Tubing: The tubing connects the pump to the nozzles and is responsible for transporting the insecticide solution throughout the mosquito misting system. Tubing materials in these systems must be resistant to the chemicals used in insecticides and capable of handling the pressure generated by the pump.
Pump: The pump is responsible for pressurizing the insecticide solution and delivering it to the nozzles throughout the system. Pumps in mosquito misting systems are typically either diaphragm or peristaltic types, chosen for their ability to handle low-viscosity liquids and maintain consistent pressure.
Reservoir: The reservoir is a storage tank that holds the insecticide solution. The capacity of the reservoir varies depending on the size of the system and the area it needs to cover. In general, larger systems designed for commercial spaces require more significant reservoirs than smaller residential systems.
Timer or Controller: The timer or controller is the “brain” of the mosquito misting system, determining when and how long the system should operate. Modern controllers often have programmable settings that allow users to customize the misting cycles based on factors such as the time of day, mosquito activity levels, and weather conditions.

Mechanical Functioning of a Mosquito Misting System

Pressurization and Delivery: The pump pressurizes the insecticide solution stored in the reservoir, typically to a pressure of 200-300 psi. This pressurization enables the solution to travel through the tubing and reach the nozzles distributed throughout the mosquito misting system. The pump’s continuous operation ensures that the pressure remains consistent, resulting in a uniform misting effect across all nozzles.
Atomization and Misting: When the insecticide solution reaches the nozzles, it is released as a fine mist through a small orifice. This process, called atomization, breaks the liquid into tiny droplets that can be easily carried by air currents. The mist’s droplet size is crucial for effective mosquito control, as smaller droplets are more likely to come into contact with flying insects while minimizing the risk of drift and exposure to non-target organisms.
Misting Cycle and Control: The controller dictates the frequency and duration of the misting cycles. By programming the system to operate during specific times, such as dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active, users can maximize the effectiveness of the mosquito misting system while minimizing its impact on beneficial insects. Some advanced controllers also incorporate sensors that monitor factors such as wind speed, temperature, and humidity, allowing the system to adjust its operation based on real-time environmental conditions.

A-Niks: Can We Engineer Your Mosquito Misting System?

A-Niks specialized early on in designing, engineering, installing and maintaining high-efficiency mosquito misting systems. We know these systems give homeowners a better protection against mosquitoes than traditional straying methods, and our own systems are designed to protect life (beneficial insects). We even developed a proprietary natural insecticide based on essential oils: it preserves your environment, and helps enhance your quality of life.

If you want a new freedom with more of your time spent outdoors, or if you operate a resort and need a mosquito misting system to ensure your guests are comfortable, call us to receive a free estimate after we look at your property. We will custom-engineer a mosquito misting system that is tailored to fit the characteristics of your estate.
