There has never been a more effective, convenient, method for preventing mosquito bites in your yard. Better still Tuxedo ® Mosquito Control works automatically and is virtually maintenance free. You will never again have to spray your kids with messy repellents or remember to fog your yard before a cookout. The Tuxedo Mosquito system sprays a very fine mist of botanical insecticide through nozzles installed around the perimeter of your yard. The mist settles on the grass and landscaping, killing and mosquito that comes in contact with it. The system is timed to mist twice a day early in the morning and early in the evening when mosquitoes are most active and beneficial insects, like bees and butterflies are not. It also kills or repels other unwanted pest like spiders, flies and gnats.

Our insecticide’s primary ingredients, derived from chrysanthemum flowers, and are called Pyrethrins. They are rapidly degraded by sunlight or rain, leaving your yard free of residue. And, because of their plant-based origin, insects don’t build up resistance to Pyrethrins.

Pyrethrum

Pyrethrum is a botanical insecticide produced primarily in the flowers of Tanacetum cinerariae folium, a species of the chrysanthemum plant family. Pyrethrum plants have historically been grown in commercial quantities in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Papua New Guinea. Over the past decade, Tasmania and Uganda began producing pyrethrum. Today Kenya and Tasmania are the largest pyrethrum growing and

producing countries while Rwanda and Papua New Guinea have ceased production. In East Africa the mature pyrethrum flowers are picked by hand, sun dried to remove moisture, and sent to a processing plant for extraction of the active ingredient pyrethrins, a mixture of six closely related esters. In Tasmania the flowers have been bred to synchronously flower so they can be mechanically harvested. As in Africa, the flowers are sun dried and processed to produce the insecticide pyrethrum.

Knockdown Effects

Because of its safety, pyrethrum has long been preferred for household and agricultural application. Recent research is revealing new power and new uses for this old and trusted insecticide. Combined with a synergist, pyrethrums are one of the fastest acting insecticides known. Even before it kills, it knocks down and paralyzes insects almost immediately. When it encounters pyrethrum, the insect is thrown into a state of nervous disorder. It runs from it's hiding place and scuttles around erratically, or adopts a confused flight pattern. Both responses show that the insect has lost all control of its central nervous system. This contact effect is called activation. Recent practice exploits the activation effect by adding small amounts of pyrethrum to a routine residual agricultural formulation.

  Is Outdoor Misting Effective?

Of course, you would expect us to say outdoor misting is effective. You might even expect us to offer testimonials or even videos of satisfied customers saying how it’s changed their lives, or at least made their backyards more comfortable places to hang out. We could do that – but you might still be skeptical. At Tuxedo Mosquito, we think the most convincing evidence that the technology really works is the explosive growth in the market. Misting technology has been used in barns to protect expensive racehorses from biting flies for about 30 years. In 1999, an entrepreneur in Houston decided to apply the technology to mosquito control. He built a primitive system in his garage that worked so well he began to build them to sell.  There was no budget for advertising or promotion, so local awareness was built by word-of-mouth. Typically, it was owners raving about their mosquito systems at cocktail parties and cookouts, or their guests noticing that even though they’re standing outside at dusk, they’re not being devoured by mosquitoes. Our estimate is that there are 10,000 – 15,000 working systems in the country, most installed within the last two years. You wouldn’t see that kind of growth if outdoor misting weren’t truly effective.
