Automatic Insect Control For Agricultural applications
Fight flies and other disruptive insects in horse barns, breeding pens, poultry facilities, and more
Take control of fly and other insect pressure in your barn, stable, or livestock facility with CoastalMister insect misting systems, trusted by over 400 pest control professionals nationwide for reliability in demanding environments.
Flies shouldn't compromise animal welfare or operational efficiency. Once installed by a CoastalMister dealer, our automated misting systems begin protecting your facility immediately. By automatically dispensing a fine mist of EPA-approved insecticide through nozzles strategically placed in barn aisles, stall areas, and feeding zones, we achieve significant fly reduction within 24-48 hours of operation.
Agricultural fly control typically requires more frequent misting than residential applications - often 4-8 brief cycles daily during peak fly activity hours. Each 30-45 second cycle targets flies where they congregate: around animals, feeding areas, waste management zones, and entry points. The automated system operates consistently whether staff is present or not, maintaining fly pressure at manageable levels throughout the season without manual intervention.
How Do Agricultural Insect Misting Systems Work?
A fly misting system is an automated pest control solution that uses strategically placed nozzles throughout your barn or livestock facility to maintain consistent fly pressure control. The system consists of:
Control Unit - Programmable controller, pump, and motor mounted on a 55-gallon reservoir, typically installed near barn electrical service or in equipment areas
Nozzle Circuit - Network of nozzles and tubing installed in barn aisles, stall areas, milking parlors, feeding zones, and overhead in rafters. Professional CoastalMister dealers design circuits to provide comprehensive coverage where flies congregate while avoiding interference with daily operations.
Misting System Operation
Fly misting systems are programmed to automatically mist your facility periodically throughout the day during peak insect activity periods. Each brief misting cycle (30-45 seconds) disperses a fine insecticide barrier that kills flies and otehr insects on contact and creates residual protection in treated areas.
Unlike residential mosquito applications, agricultural fly control requires more frequent misting due to constant fly pressure from manure, feed, and animal activity. Systems can be programmed around feeding schedules, milking times, and facility operations to maximize effectiveness while minimizing impact on daily routines.
The CoastalMister Difference
Since 2002, CoastalMister has manufactured durable misting systems built for demanding environments. Our systems handle the challenging conditions agricultural facilities present - temperature extremes, humidity, ammonia exposure, and frequent misting cycles. Many systems installed in barns and stables 15+ years ago continue operating reliably today in conditions that would destroy lesser equipment. That's CoastalMister durability built for real-world agricultural use.
