The Automist and Minimist insect control systems are automatically operated misting systems that dispense an insect control at preset times and durations throughout the day. These systems will effectively control flies, mosquitoes and a host of other pests in your barn. This will provide your horses with a degree of comfort and protection greater than simple fly sprays and will aid in combating mosquitoes carrying the potentially deadly West Nile Virus.  This is an easily installed, do-it-yourself system requiring only a couple of hours to completely protect your barn.

Automist with its very high control rate is effective and completely automatic. Automist gives a synchronized spray that evenly distributes coverage of insecticide over an entire area during the duration of each timed spray.

Automist systems can be installed conveniently at the time of new construction, when additions are added, or in already existing areas to effectively reduce insect populations. The Automist system can easily be expanded to accommodate growth.

New for 2008 - All systems will now be equipped with two check valves to shorten start up time when the timer calls for a spray cycle. One is installed on the suction line and one on the return line. These are included at no extra charge.

 In '08 we are also offering an optional in line filter with removable filter element to help keep nozzles clean. Element should be cleaned every few months to help keep lines and nozzles free of impurities.      

An all-weather cover is also included with all systems, which works great for outdoor applications or just to keep the dust off.

Our timers are very user friendly and easily programmable. They combine the ultimate in reliability and ease of use. Timers have settings for automatic spray as well as manual over ride. The gasketed enclosure door keeps dust and dirt out.  All timers now include a self-recharging battery backup.... no more resetting the system timer after a power failure! 

Also available is an optional remote control unit for the timer that allows for additional applications of insecticide without opening the timer box and switching to manual mode.  All remote control units now include an easy to program digital timer ! Timer can be operated in automatic or manual - spray on demand - mode. A "skip next cycle" command can also be activated from the remote control key fob.

Our nozzle assemblies provide accurate delivery of insecticide.  Every nozzle has a built in check valve that closes when pressure falls below 60 psi to eliminate dripping at the end of a spray cycle.  Our nozzle assemblies come standard with 1/4" presto- loc fittings as shown at the left. All nozzles are now nickel plated for superior corrosion resistance.

We use a newly upgraded brass 1/3 hp positive displacement pump/motor combination that provides accurate high pressure as well as quiet, reliable service.

Our float assembly consists of a switch inside the barrel to provide accurate low liquid level sensing. This float shuts the system down to protect the pump when the reservoir is low. A 100 mesh suction filter is standard on all systems.

We offer a wide assortment and variety of fittings from straight and 45 degree tee nozzles and elbow nozzles to line and nozzle shutoff valves, outdoor nozzle riser assemblies and more to complete your installation.

New for 2008 are our Mini Nozzles for use in landscape installations. These are available in "tee" configurations as well as on risers. Their use will be primarily on fence lines and as risers in planting beds. Use is not recommended around tile, stone, decorative rock etc. to avoid staining during system startup and shutdown.

Mini-Mist is the solution for insect control in smaller areas. This convenient automatic insect spraying system consists of a 15 gallon poly barrel, motor, pump w/ fittings, gauge and timer assembly.

The Mini-Mist can run up to 20 nozzles, using the same pump and motor unit as the Automist,  making it ideal for 2-4 stall stables, kennels, patios, perimeter fencing around the home, etc.

The Mini-Mist uses the same high quality nylon tubing and Nickel-silver plated nozzles used by the Automist system.

Popular Options:

Remote Control

  Rain Sensor

The rain sensor and its unique Quick Response™ feature, you can command the Automist system to shut off immediately – not after a quarter- or a half-inch, but right when it starts to rain. Our rain sensor can be mounted in a variety of ways: on a rain gutter, on conduit, with a telescoping extension to bring the unit away from an eave, or in the standard method on a flat vertical surface like a wall or fence.  A practical application for a yard, pool or patio area.

 Wind Sensor

The wind sensor offers the most cost-effective solution to breezy situations as it shuts off the Automist system during periods of high wind, then automatically resets the system when conditions are more favorable. Wind sensors make outdoor and barn installations more efficient as your system will shut down during high wind conditions and will help prevent wasted insect control solution. Effective in barns as well as yard, pool and patio installations.

Insecticide Usage rates: Based on a typical timer setting of 6 spray cycles per day and approximately 45 seconds duration per cycle you will use .075 gallons of solution per nozzle per day.  This usage rate applies to all system sizes.

Insects become active as soon as the weather warms in the spring. This means that as the temperature increases, they start reproducing. One typical female adult fly lays from 250 to 1250 eggs in a two to five week period. From the time the egg is laid to the formation of an adult is 9 to 43 days, depending on temperature and moisture conditions. Multiply this by the number of flies in a typical barn on a hot day and the resulting population is the cause of most fly problems.

The Automist system answers the problem of ineffective, labor intensive insect control. Being an automatic system, the Automist sprays any facility on a regular preset schedule. The Automist system treats the facility with insecticide spray in about 1 minute or less, several times a day thereby not allowing flies to escape, as they do with other methods. Using this technology, plus effective, safe, water based insecticide, Automist controls insects by killing a larger number each time it sprays, thus breaking the insects breeding cycle.

Both of these systems carry a full one year warranty from the date of purchase.  This warranty covers the repair or replacement of any part found defective during normal use within the 12 month period.  This warranty does not cover shipping and handling charges.
