| Q1:
What is the insecticide made from?
We use pyrethrum insecticide, that's has been approved for
use in and around food processing plants and restaurants.
Pyrethrum is considered biodegradable and is sought for sensitive
applications like the post-harvest treatment of fruits and
vegetable. Pyrethrum is so safe that the U. S. government
approves its use on such insect-prone foods as tomatoes, even
while they are on their way to the supermarket or processing
plant.
Q2:
How safe is pyrethrum?
Pyrethrum
is clear and free of allergens. Furthermore it has a low toxicity
level. It is water based and biodegradeable. It is a natural
insecticide that protects the chrysanthemum flowers from plant
eating insects. They do not build up immunity to pyrethrum
as they do other chemicals and synthetic compounds dangerous
to humans.
Q3:
Does pyrethrum leave a residue like other chemicals and synthetic
compounds?
NO.
Pyrethrum is completely biodegradeable. After pyrethrum affects
the mosquitoes and other insects it decomposes harmlessly.
Q4:
Will insecticides with pyrethrum harm my pets?
Used
according to the label instructions, the insecticide is considered
non-toxic to mammals. Pyrethrum insecticides have been used
in agriculture and equine applications for a quarter century
with no known harmful effects.
Q5:
Is pyrethrum effective against any other insects?
Yes.
Almost all insects are killed or repelled by pyrethrum including
mosquitoes, flies, spiders, gnats, roosting wasps and all
other insects.
Q6:
What kind of facilities benefit from using an automatic insect
control system?
Backyard pool and patio areas, Restaurant patios, Zoos, Veterinary
Clinics, Commercial trash areas, Equine facilities, Bovine
housing, Poultry houses all use automatic insect control systems.
Controlling mosquitoes, flies, gnats, dirt daubers, flies,
spiders, etc., creates a healthier environment for your family
and your pets.
Q7:

with a 90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. For the first ninety
days after installation we guarantee satisfaction. If the

of this system we will remove it and only charge for the labor

Q8:
How often should the timer be set to come on?
Let
nature be your guide. In early spring, 2-3 times a day for
45-60 seconds should be adequate. As different pests swarm
or become active, you may increase or decrease the number
of sprays you use. You should never need to exceed 6 times
per 24-hour period.
Q9: How long before I have to refill?
The
frequency of re-filling your system will depend upon the number
of nozzles, the number of sprays per 24 hours, the severity
of the insect problem and the length of each spray cycle.
Our finely machined spray nozzles each emit approximately
1.1 ounces per minute at 200 PSI. The average custgomer sprays
about four minutes total per day. This equates to a usage
of about one-gallon per nozzle per month. All systems are
protected by an automatic shut off that keeps the system from
running when the tank is dry, thereby protecting your pump
from being destroyed. The system shuts itself off when the
liquid level is too low.
Q10: What type of maintenance does the system require?
All maintenance will be done by your MOSQUITO-PROtm
dealer. (1) You should rinse your intake filter (that hangs
inside the drum) each time you refill your drum. Washing your
intake filter prevents clogging of your nozzle tips and filters.
(2) Your tank should be washed out at least once a year to
remove any natural bacterial growth or residue accumulation.
(3) When refilling your system, check to assure pressure is
set under 200 PSI. This prolongs the life of your pump. (4)
If at all possible, use softened or filtered water to prolong
the life of your tips and filters. |
