Frequently
Asked Questions |

|
How
“Safe” is pyrethrum, the natural insecticide? |
Pyrethrum
is extracted from the chrysanthemum flower. It is clear
and free of allergens. Furthermore, Pyrethrum has a
low toxicity level, it is water based and biodegradable.
This insecticide protects the chrysanthemum flowers
from plant-eating insects. Insects do not build up immunity
to pyrethrum as they do other chemicals and synthetic
compounds dangerous to humans. |
|
|
Does
pyrethrum leave a residue like other chemicals and synthetic
compounds? |
NO.
Pyrethrum is completely biodegradable. After pyrethrum
affects the mosquitoes and other insects, it decomposes
harmlessly. |
|
|
Will
pyrethrum insecticides harm my pets? |
Used
according to the label instructions, the insecticide
is considered non-toxic to mammals. Pyrethrum insecticides
have been used in agricultural and equine applications
for a quarter century with no known harmful effects. |
|
|
Is pyrethrum effective against any other insects? |
Yes.
Almost all insects are killed or repelled effectively
by pyrethrum including mosquitoes, flies, spiders, gnats,
roosting wasps and all other insects. |
|
|
How
“automatic” is the system? |
Totally
automatic and maintenance free. This is one of the key
advantages of the system. You will never have to worry,
or plan ahead to be able to enjoy your yard! |
|
|
How
often should I set the timer to come on? |
Let
nature be your guild. In early spring 1 or 2 times a
day for 1 minute 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. |
|
|
What
maintenance is required on the system? |
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. |
|
|
How
long before I have to refill? |
The
frequency of re-filling your system will depend on the
number of spray 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 ounce per minute at 160
p.s.i.. The average customer 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. |
|
|
How
many nozzles do I need? |
That
depend on what areas you want to cover. A good rule
is to place 1 nozzle every 10 feet. Usually you place
the nozzles under the eaves of your house and around
the perimeter of you yard, usually along a fence line.
In yard that are large we recommend that you trench
to either flowerbeds or trees and place nozzle their
too to eliminate biting insects in the middle of the
yard too. |
|
|
How
difficult is it to install myself? |
It
is extremely easy. With a few simple tools like a drill,
zippy ties and cutters you will be able to install the
system yourself. You simply map out the area that you
want to control the pest and then place the nozzles
approximately every 10 feet around the perimeter of
the property. If you need to tee of to another line,
then you simple use one of our quick connect tee and
start a new line. At the end of each line you will simply
cap off the last nozzle. |
|
|
What
do I need to run a misting system? |
You
need a level area to place the system and a grounded
110 outlet to plug the system into. |
|
|
What
pressure do I set the system at? |
Although
the pump can pump pressures up to 250 psi, we recommend
that you set the regulator at 160 psi for optimal performance. |
|
|
What if I am still having trouble determining were to
place my nozzles or how to install my system? |
No
problem, just simply send us an email with any questions
that you have and we will answer them for you. If you
