FAQ

The CoastalMister is a reliable, high-quality residential insect control system designed to eliminate mosquitoes and all other insects in the outdoor spaces of your home. Its gentle routine won’t be distracting or burdensome. Since it sprays a fine mist of diluted insecticide at multiple, pre-planned times each day, the CoastalMister provides continuous coverage and protection without being invasive.

To quote many of our happy customers: “It works!” The CoastalMister is an effective solution for residential control of mosquitoes and other insects. It is proven to eliminate these pests, so you can relax and enjoy your own outdoor areas whenever you please. With the help of leading entomologists and pest management professionals CoastalMister has developed the most complete line of high-quality misting equipment available. You get the most up-to-date features in misting, system design, and installation by trained and certified professionals.
Most other pest control systems are temporary solutions, only applied every few weeks or months. Their efficiency is reduced over time, especially after it rains, which is often when you need mosquito protection the most. Not to mention you and your pets would typically be locked inside for a couple hours until the harsh smell eases. The CoastalMister’s spray is subtle and consistent, so it seamlessly integrates in your daily routine and you can enjoy your yard on your own schedule.

As a licensed pest management professional, your CoastalMister dealer will evaluate your needs and the outdoor areas where the system will be used. With this information in mind, they will use their knowledge and experience to select the exact product, formulation and dosage that will best serve your needs. More than likely, a product that includes pyrethrum, which is derived from the chrysanthemum flower, will be used. Contact us to find a CoastalMister dealer to learn more about the ideal product choice for your yard.

It is extremely effective! The CoastalMister begins eliminating mosquitoes on contact as soon as it is sprayed.

Immediately! Your CoastalMister begins eliminating mosquitoes from the moment you activate it. Your dealer will typically set the misting schedule based on your routine, and at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. With training from your dealer, you will learn how to activate the CoastalMister yourself using a user-friendly remote control. Activating it half an hour before your guests arrive will give you the perfect, mosquito-free evening under the stars.

Many variables determine the installation time. A typical system takes 4-8 hours to install; however, each installation differs based on the layout and features of the home’s outdoor area. More complex landscaping may take longer. Factors that affect installation include the square footage of the target area, whether or not there is a pool or other water feature, the types of plants and landscaping in the yard, and other fixtures. Consult your CoastalMister dealer, who will provide an educated estimate based on your unique needs.

Your certified CoastalMister dealer calculates usage based on pre-programmed misting cycles and anticipated manual usage. Much depends on the total area being covered by your system and the frequency of use. With that information, your CoastalMister dealer can provide a customized, accurate answer for your planned system to give you a worry-free experience.

Pyrethrum is widely used around the world, and is typically used in flea and tick shampoo for animals. Furthermore, the dose used in the CoastalMister is highly diluted (more diluted than that in the tick shampoo) yet is effective enough to eliminate mosquitoes.

In most cases, the Coastal Mister should be activated at least twice a day. Your Coastal Master dealer will determine the optimal times, dose, and frequency of application for your space’s needs. They will time the misting around your routine to ensure the best results. You will also be trained to operate a user-friendly remote control which allows you to pause the misting or request an additional round.

Yes, you can change the timing or temporarily suspend the system’s activity if needed. Your Coastal Mister system is custom designed to fit your property and lifestyle. Your dealer will train you on how to use the convenient remote control, giving you control over your system.

We understand the investment you’ve made in beautifying your backyard, so we’ve trained our dealers to install the system in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible. The system is customized for your backyard, so size and placement will vary. Though each home is equipped differently, the reservoir will usually be placed in a hidden area; typically next to your air conditioning system. The spraying nozzles and other accessories will be distributed strategically in your outdoor area. The accessories are available in multiple color options, and are designed to blend well with your backyard surroundings. Placement is based on the desired coverage area’s square footage, and any special features like pools and fountains, outdoor kitchens, seating areas, and other elements.

Mosquitoes are typically active in dusk and dawn, while butterflies and honeybees are active in mid-day hours. The mister activation can be timed to target mosquitoes and other undesirable insects and avoid butterflies and honeybees.

The CoastalMister sprays multiple times a day, every day. If it rains, you’re only a short time away from the next spray which re-enforces your protection. This is one of the CoastalMister’s many advantages over other insect control methods that are only applied every few weeks or months. Their efficacy is reduced over time, especially after it rains, which is often when you need mosquito protection most. Another big advantage: many of the one-time spraying methods prevent you and your pets from going into the yard for several hours after application, and their smell and consistency is upsettingly stronger. The CoastalMister’s spray is subtle and consistent, so it blends seamlessly in your routine, and you can enjoy your yard on your own schedule.
