FAQ's

 
How many nozzles are required for a typical residential installation?

To ensure adequate coverage, misting nozzles should be placed around the perimeter of the house – under the eves and along the fence-line at intervals of 10’ to 12’. The number of nozzles required will be based on the size and shape of the coverage area. The average home will require between 30 to 40 nozzles. All entry level Mosquito-Hawk systems can support up to 60 nozzles. The 2 zone systems can support 120 nozzles.

How often does the system need to mist to be effective?

All Mosquito-Hawk systems are set at the factory to mist twice daily for 45 seconds. The default setting will automatically mist at 6:00 am and 8:30 pm. You can program the digital system to mist up to 8 times per with durations up to 2 minutes. We have found that mosquito control can be achieved with early morning and late evening applications.

Does the system need to mist daily to be effective?

For the best results the system should mist twice daily. The Mosquito-Hawk system does allow you to set the controls to “manual” mode which will only mist with the remote control. We integrated this feature so the homeowner could completely control when misting occurs.

How long will a tank of chemical last?

This will depend on the number of nozzles, the number of cycles per day and the duration of each mist. For a standard 40 nozzle system spraying 2 times per day at a duration of 45 seconds, the 55 gallon system should last 2-3 months.

How much maintenance is required with the system?

The Mosquito-Hawk misting system uses industrial grade components to ensure your system remains trouble-free for the life of the product. Each system is equipped with a level sensor and indicator light to let you know when a refill is required. When the tank is empty the level sensor will shut down the system to protect the pump from damage. Simply refill the tank and your system is ready to go!

What is Mosquito-Hawks warrantee?
