Misting System Chemicals

Mosquito misting systems rely on a mixture of 98% or more of water with a small amount of chemical mixed in to create a diluted product that is approved for use in misting systems. These products have been developed and tested extensively over that last 30 years, and are approved for application by the EPA.

Here at Coastal, we work closely with these companies to ensure that we are getting the maximum effect with the absolute minimum usage of pesticides. We have considered many factors, including the flow rate of our nozzles, the concentration of the product, and the total amount of misting time each day to develop our best practices for safe and effective use of misting systems. Reach out to your local CoastalMister™ authorized dealer to discuss the products that they recommend for you. And remember, always follow the rules and regulations outlined on the label.

Pyrethrum Based Products
