Maintenance of the MosquitoNix® system is relatively simple for continuous mosquito prevention. It involves regular refill of the insecticide drum, and annual winterization/de-winterization maintenance. The frequency of your refills will be dependent on the number of nozzles, size of mist system and the duration and frequency of mosquito misting for mosquito control.

Vegetation Management
Adult mosquitos prefer to rest on weeds and other vegetation. It is advised that areas of heavy vegetation adjacent to the foundation be reduced as much as possible, particular attention should be paid to shaded areas.

Eliminate Breeding Sites
Remove and dispose of tin cans, buckets, unused plastic swimming pools or other containers that may hold as little as ½ inch of water. Do not allow water to accumulate in flowerpot saucers, pet dishes or similar vessels for more than two days.

Gutters
It is very important to keep rain gutters free of debris to prevent backup, this is a very common breeding ground.

Other Areas of Concern
Check areas near water faucets, air conditioners and overflows to make certain water accumulations do not occur. Identify and fill low spots in the lawn that are prohibiting proper drainage.

Other Suggestions From Mosquito Nix
Change the water in birdbaths and wading pools at least once a week. Stock ornamental pools with top feeding predacious minnows known as mosquito fish, or place mosquito dunks per label instructions. Fill tree holes and stumps with mortar or sand. Check for trapped water in plastic or canvas tarps used to cover boats, pools, etc. Situate the cover to insure proper drainage. Consider adjusting sprinkler settings in areas that never dry out.
