Frequently Ask Questions About Mosquito Control

---

What kind of facilities benefit from using a Bug DeFence Mosquito Control system?

Backyard pools and patios, farms and ranches, veterinary clinics, zoos and commercial trash areas all use and enjoy Bug DeFence systems. Controlling flies, mosquitoes, gnats, roaches, etc., creates a healthier environment for you and your cherished family.

What size system will I need for my application?

Bug DeFence Mosquito Control offers several different system sizes. An average home will require 35-40 nozzles to provide adequate coverage. Our smallest system is the most popular and will handle up to 55 nozzles. This allows room for additional nozzles on the average spray system if future expansion is required. Larger systems may be utilized where needed.

How many spray nozzles will I need for my home or facility?

We normally suggest one misting nozzle approximately every 10-12 feet along the back and front eaves of your home and along fences plus a few for the flower beds and other special areas. In barns, we suggest one nozzle for each approximate 12'x12' stall plus extra for aisles, doorways and grooming and wash areas. Each nozzle will control approximately 1,000 to 1,500 cu. ft. of airspace, depending on the air currents of your location.

What is Bug DeFence Mosquito Control's system warranty?

Bug DeFence offers a lifetime parts and labor warranty on it's systems for full service customers. (Warranty requires you only use solutions sold through Bug DeFence). Bug DeFence is one of the leading manufacturers of whole property mosquito control systems and solutions. We can provide an exclusive "manufacturer direct" service and warranty of your installation.

What insecticides/repellents does Bug DeFence use and what is it made from?

We carry and sell the most complete line-up of Permethrum, Pyrethrum and green alternatives, from our registered product HYPER 13™ to our all natural, self branded Bug DeFence Repellent. Permethrum is a synthetic chemical similar to the natural insecticide pyrethrum which comes from the chrysanthemum plant, but it remains effective for longer periods of time. Pyrethrum is derived from the chrysanthemum plant and has been used in many forms for effective, low toxicity insect control for many years. However, because natural pyrethrum has almost no stability in sunlight it is not used in commercial agriculture. Bug DeFence repellent is made from all-natural, non-toxic ingredients. It contains no alcohol, is non-flammable and will not stain or damage furniture or plastic products.

How long will my Chemical last before I need a refill?

Our finely machined spray nozzles each emit approximately 1.1 ounce per minute at 160 p.s.i.. The average customer sprays about three times per day for 30 seconds each (i.e. 90 seconds per day) with a 40 nozzles system. This equates to a usage of about one chemical fill (one 55 gallon reservoir) every three months. Refill frequency will vary with each installation depending on the number of nozzles and spraying periods per day.

What kind of maintenance does the Bug DeFence Mosquito Control system require?

Bug DeFence systems require very limited maintenance. In areas of the country that experience hard freezing conditions we recommend you winterize your system. This simple procedure should take less than 15 minutes once a year. Call for details
