SWAT Misting System vs. DIY Misting System

Summertime is synonymous with backyard barbecues, swimming pools, and, of course, mosquitoes.

Some products don’t actually keep these pests away at all; instead, we end up paying with our health every time one of them lands on us (not just during bedroom hours).

Plus this will make another thing join the long list of items you need around your house: pesticides near food sources like pet bowls etc., which is a hazard to your pet’s health.

Are Mosquitoes Attracted to Certain colors?

If you think mosquitoes are attracted to you specifically, you have probably heard mosquitoes love you. Trust us, it’s not your glowing personality or skills that draws these blood suckers in. Your scent could definitely be a factor, but is there anything else that could contribute to their attraction?

What is it about you specifically that makes those mosquitoes bypass everyone else but goes straight to you? What makes you so special to them? Well among other things, it could be the clothes you decided to wear.

How Your Choice Of Clothing Effects Mosquitos

What about your clothing choice of clothing draws mosquitoes to you. Well for one color choice definitely matters especially if you want to avoid mosquito bites. Due to the size of mosquitos eyes dark colors seem to stand out more for them. Therefore, because of the research present with mosquitoes and dark colors, pastel hues might be a better choice to wear.

Colors such as yellow, baby pink, or white work well. Just be mindful out of all the colors you choose to wear, do not pick blue. These little buggers like blue, which is why many mosquito zappers feature a blue light. They seem to be drawn to the color and anything close to it. Therefore definitely a color you want to avoid at an outdoor event if you can.

When it comes to mosquitoes choosing their targets, they usually do so from a distance, like a bush or shrub. So if you’re wearing a black dress or a royal blue baseball cap, they’re more likely to choose you because they can find you easier.

You may also want to lay off on the perfume at an outdoor event. The smell can attract them due to the sweetness and most times, floral notes. So if you just washed your clothes in the laundry and they smell of detergent it can be equally as problematic and can continually attract them.

Mosquito Misting System vs Fogging: Which one should I use?

There are many ways to combat mosquitoes, but which is the best way for your home or business? Fogging systems disperse a chemical mist that kills mosquitoes, for a short period of time. While a mosquito misting systems use a series of nozzles to release a mixture of things that smothers the insects at certain points in time. So, which is better for my home? A mosquito misting system or fogging the area? Let’s take a closer look.

Fogging is a quick fix way to get your yard somewhat bug free. It’s great if you are hosting a party or event in your yard but not for long term use. Fogging sprays a chemical into the grass and surrounding areas making the mosquitos currently there die. This does not account for the mosquito larvae and other bugs.

Not to mention with Florida’s climate it does not work as well because things like the constant sunshine, rain, and even sprinklers can ruin it. All of those things can wipe away the fog and nothing is there to replace it.

When fogging is done it usually can last anywhere from 4-8 hours. An important thing to note is this method doesn’t completely rid of the mosquitos it just reduces the number.

The Mosquito Misting System

When you utilize a SWAT mosquito misting system you are spraying your yard at sunset and sunrise, as well as you have a remote control in which you can turn the system on at your leisure. The reason the system goes off on its own at those two times is because it is when mosquitos are at their peak.

The system sprays a mist of biodegradable, pet safe, pyrethrum which eliminates all the larvae and pupa. The mosquito misting system minimizes the mosquito population and as we say, they move out and we move in.
