How to Set the Timer on Your Mosquito Misting System

Finding the Right Timer Settings for Your Yard

Every yard in Atlanta has unique conditions; from tree cover and water features to neighborhood layout. That’s why Tuxedo Mosquito Control fine-tunes each mosquito misting system to deliver peak performance. Our family-owned business has served the Atlanta community for five generations, and we understand how to adapt each system to local environments for the best mosquito control results.

The Recommended Initial Setup

When your MistAway mosquito misting system is first installed, we typically program it to spray two times per day for about 35 seconds per session.

Through years of experience servicing homes across the greater Atlanta metro area, we’ve found this schedule provides an excellent starting point. It delivers consistent coverage and helps establish a strong barrier against mosquitoes right away.

After a few weeks, you may find that your property needs slight adjustments — especially if you have more shade, standing water, or vegetation than average. That’s where system fine-tuning comes in.

Adjusting Your Mosquito System Settings

Every property is different, and sometimes factors like wind direction, weather changes, or hidden damp areas can affect mosquito activity. If you notice an increase in mosquitoes or feel that coverage isn’t even, we can easily adjust your misting schedule.

Common adjustments include:

• Increasing spray frequency if mosquito activity remains high
• Extending spray duration slightly for dense landscaping
• Reducing sprays during cooler months when mosquito populations drop

Our technicians are happy to make these refinements for you until your misting system operates at maximum efficiency.

Seasonal Adjustments for Atlanta’s Climate

Atlanta’s climate shifts throughout the year, which means mosquito populations do too. During the warmer months, mosquitoes are far more active, and your system may need more frequent sprays. As temperatures cool, you can lower the number of daily spray cycles.

Typically, optimizing your system means adjusting the number of sprays per day rather than the length of each spray. Keeping an eye on seasonal changes — and letting nature guide your adjustments — ensures continuous, efficient protection.
