Frequently Asked Questions
How
much does a Mosquito Control Mist System
cost?
This
depends on the size of the area to be misted
and how many nozzles will be required for
adequate coverage. For a professionally
installed Mosquito Misting System, you
should expect to spend about what you would
spend for an installed irrigation system for
your home. That is, the larger the property
and area you are trying to protect, the
higher the price. The average cost for a
small system will start in the $1,500.00
price range. For a “representative” home
sitting on a standard quarter-acre lot, plan
on a purchase price in the $2,500 - $4,500
range.
How
do I know how many nozzles I'll need?
The
nozzles should be placed approximately every
ten feet along perimeter lines. If there is
abundant landscaping the nozzles should be
placed approximately every eight feet.
How
does the system repel mosquitoes?
The
system does not repel mosquitoes, it kills
them, their nest, eggs, and larvae active in
standing water. It continually eliminates
the mosquito population living and breeding
in your landscaping, bushes, grass,
flowerpots, birdbaths, etc.
How
often will I need to replenish the system?
This
depends on the number of nozzles, mist
duration, and number of mist cycles per day.
Example:
*But
wait! When you want to enjoy your yard you
will probably use the remote for additional
mist cycles to clear the area of pesky
flies, no-see-ums, and mosquitoes that
wander in between scheduled mistings (at
dawn and dusk). This is why we generally say
you can count on replenishing every 90 days
during the peak mosquito season.
You may
choose to mist every other day, or three
days a week, or only on command with the
remote, which would stretch the replenish
cycle even farther out. You are not limited
to every day misting - but for maximum
effect, every day is recommended.
How much should I expect to pay each
replenishment?
If you are a do-it-yourselfer you can find
the Pyrethrin at your local pest control
store. You can expect to pay from $125 -
$150 per half gallon (the replenishment
size).
NOLA Misting Systems offers a maintenance
service starting at $150 which includes
replenishment only, or an expanded
maintenance service at $250 which includes
with each replenishment a diagnostic test of
system, inspection of mist line and nozzles,
repair or replace any mist line or nozzle
parts necessary, no charge for winterization
of system ($75) or service calls ($65) in
between replenishments (minimum of two (2)
replenishments per season).
