We use an automated system that is installed around the exterior of the areas that you want to enjoy "bug-free". The system consists of a 55-gallon tank which acts as a reservoir, on top of which we mount a pump, motor and a control box which houses the timer and duration control. We then connect a series of nozzles using thin nylon tubing, this will create a barrier that will trap and eliminate insects within its perimeter. Every home and its landscaping are different, we will custom design the system and place nozzles that target insect breeding and harborage sites.
Once the installation is complete, we fill the reservoir with your choice of mild insecticide and set the automatic timer. We typically mist for 30-45 seconds, 2-3 times per night, depending on insect populations and time of year. The system is also equipped with a remote control to activate the system as needed for daytime use or if needed before planned gatherings, parties or outdoor activities.
With our system, we guarantee an 80-90% reduction of most annoying outdoor insects including flies, fleas, ticks, and gnats. After your system is installed you will wonder why you ever lived without one. After all, enjoying your backyard shouldn't be a luxury!
User Friendly: Most of our customers don't want to think about mosquitoes. They just want them to be gone. The system will spray automatically during the night, ideally when no one is present. Our systems are very user-friendly and easy to use; however, it is important to keep the system maintained. After your system has been installed, we will maintain your system based on the service plan you have.
All components of the system are covered under our exclusive, transferrable, lifetime warranty. This includes the pump, motor, control box and nozzles. This way there are never any unexpected expenses. The system maintenance and refills will generally average $600-800 per year, and to help offset this, we offer one of the most generous referral programs in the business - a free refill for every customer you refer.

Are Mosquito Misting Systems Better Than Sprays?

What results can I expect from my new system?
It is very important to set our customers expectations correctly from the beginning. We want happy customers. Our goal is to eliminate 100% of all annoying insects, but we want to do it in a manner that will not be detrimental for the environment, and safe for our customers families and pets. We use only products that have been tested, labeled and approved by the EPA, for use in automatic misting systems. Most of these products are considered low in toxicity and have very little residual effect; however, we still guarantee an 80%-90% reduction of all annoying outdoor insects.
What are the benefits of the Mosquito Misting System?
MCS Austin guarantees an 80%-90% reduction of all flying insects, including mosquitoes, flies, gnats, no see-ums, you may also see reductions in other common insects with the use of the system such as fleas, ticks, spiders, ants, etc.
What products are available for use in my system?
MCS Austin offers several products for use in your system, from Totally Organic to Semi-Organic to Full Synthetic, the choice is yours:
Here are the refill options and a brief description of each.
Organic Option: There are many new products that are now available for use in our misting systems that are organic and EPA exempt. These are non-toxic to humans, pets and aquatic life. These products are especially helpful in our boat dock systems for spider control, where other products are not allowed. While the effects of the organic are not as good as with Permethrin or Pyrethrins, this option is still much better than nothing at all. Most of these products are odorless and can be sprayed at times when people are present. The most common active ingredient is Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which is found in many personal care products such as soap and shampoos. They work by coating the insect’s body and not allowing them to breathe, effectively suffocating them.
Semi-Organic: Pyrethrum/Pyrethrins are natural insecticides extracted from Chrysanthemum flowers. The structure of the molecule is so complex that insect resistance to Pyrethrum is practically non-existent. Insects do not build up immunity to Pyrethrins, so the effect will not diminish over time. It is clear and free of allergens.
Synthetic: Permethrin is an insecticide in the Pyrethroid family. Pyrethroids are synthetic chemicals that act like natural extracts from the chrysanthemum flower. Permethrin is used in a number of ways to control insects. Products containing permethrin may be used in public health mosquito control programs. They may be used on livestock, in structures and buildings, and on clothing. Permethrin was first registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Is the Mosquito Misting System easy to operate?
Yes, all you do is set the timer, and at the designated time, a light mist is released into the air eliminating bothersome mosquitoes and other annoying insects. With our Smart Platinum System, you can also use our app to control your system. Our system comes with a remote for when extra applications are needed.
How long does it take to install the Mosquito Misting System?
After you receive your design and estimate and have approved it, we will schedule installation. Typical lead times about 7-10 days, depending on the time of the year. Our professional crew will install your system in about 4 hours.
Our goal is to have great coverage, and not to detract from the appearance of the property. Over the years, these systems have become much less a part of the house and more a part of the landscaping. After all, that is where most insects are coming from. Many times, the systems are almost invisible.
How much maintenance is needed after the initial installation?
To ensure worry-free use, your system will need to be checked and refilled about 4 times per year. We run our systems from March through the end of November, then the systems turn themselves off for the winter. We will then return in the Spring to get your system ready for the next year. When our technicians arrive, they will clean and test your system, make any needed repairs or adjustments and refill your system. All you pay for is the amount of fluid needed to fill the tank. No monthly fees, no contracts.
What is the average cost of the Mosquito Misting System?
After your initial installation, your ongoing maintenance and refills will average between $50-$99 per month, depending on the size of your system and your desired service plan.
Do you offer one-time mosquito spray treatments?
Yes! While we stand behind the long-term effectiveness and value of our Mosquito Systems, we also offer scheduled sprays from our team of licensed professionals. To learn more or schedule a spray, visit our spray treatment page.
What areas do you do installations and services?
We service the Austin area and whatever is within a 50-mile (or 1 hour) the radius of Austin. However, for certain cities outside of our service areas, we may do installations so, please inquire. We also sell DIY kits through our online store at www.mosquitoandcoolingsystems.com and offer free shipping & design assistance.
