Botanical - Pyrethrin
The active ingredient most commonly used in outdoor insect control and automated mosquito mist systems is called pyrethrin, which is derived from the extract of a certain variety of chrysanthemum flowers. Pyrethrin is highly refined and contains a man-made “synergist” that increases its effectiveness. When applied in a mist, pyrethrin flushes mosquitoes from foliage where they harbor and then impairs their nervous system. Shortly after application, the pyrethrin is rapidly degraded by sunlight, and leaves the yard free of residue. We typically use Riptide brand pyrethrin.

Man-Made - Permethrin
Scientists have developed a synthetic variant of pyrethrin, called permethrin, that has most of the same characteristics as pyrethrin. An important difference is that the man-made permethrin is not as readily destroyed by sunlight and leaves a longer lasting residue. This can be desirable if the mosquito activity is very high or in an application – like an outdoor restaurant - where the mosquito mist system should not run during the dusk cycle because people are around. For our permethrin applications we typically use Sector brand permethrin.

While your mosquito control system should require minimal attention on your part, you'll occasionally need to interact with it. Whether its activating a remote mist prior to an evening cookout and then temporarily turning the system off while your guests are outside, or changing the timing of a programmed mist, we've designed an easy-to-use intuitive interface that won't leave you searching for your owner's manual. In the instance you do need help, Mosquito Management of Louisiana is a phone call away!

Our systems offer important features that our competitors' can't. For example, all of our systems are designed to prevent a siphon in the nozzle circuit and are capable of recognizing a leak and shutting the system off until it can be repaired. They can be configured with a sensor so that the system will inhibit a mist if the wind is too strong. And with agitation prior to each cycle, the insecticide concentration of each mist is the same every time. Some of our features will not only save time but also save you money!
