POSITIONING THE MISTER
Proper placement of the A

LEAR
Mister is important for optimal insect
control. In certain situations, users
may need to mist more than once
and/or move the Mister to another
location to achieve optimal results
(see Important Tips).
1. Determine area to be protected.
2. Pull up on Mister Handle and
roll into desired coverage area.
3. Establish direction of prevailing
wind and position Mister
according to wind conditions
(see illustrations).
EXAMPLE:
Treating a patio area. Determine
prevailing wind. Depending on
wind direction, place Mister on
either side of, in the center of, or
a few feet beyond center of patio
so that prevailing winds will carry
mist solution directly over patio and
surrounding areas.
IMPORTANT TIPS
• Mister performs best if positioned
and activated inside of or near
desired coverage area.
• For optimal control, users may
need to mist an area more than
once and/or move the Mister to
another part of the treatment area
in the following situations:
• Areas of very heavy
mosquito populations
• Areas planned for large
gatherings (more people
bring increased mosquito
activity)
• Areas where wind is idle
since solution may not
be carried as far into
treatment area
• Place Mister and direct Mister
nozzles away from bodies of water
and eating or cooking areas when
food is present.
• Leave at least 2 to 3 feet between
Mister and barrier such as a
fence, house, or wall.
Position Mister at edge
of desired coverage
area with Mister nozzles
facing mist area so that
prevailing wind will carry
mist solution over target
area.
Position Mister in the
center of desired coverage
area so that the wind will
carry mist solution equally
throughout desired
coverage area.
Position Mister in
the center of desired
coverage area or a few
feet beyond center of
coverage area.
