The Cons Of Fogging. Other cons of fogging: The effectiveness drops drastically the days following the initial spray, this is for multiple reasons.
The particles tend to drift off with the wind, and the chemicals used make the particles less durable than expected. Fogging is not a long-term solution for halting the reproductive cycle of mosquitoes and most likely employs EC or an oil-based formulation of pyrethrin with added synergists, which is not nearly as durable or as safe as a product that is microencapsulated. Like what we use in our misting solution. It often has a strong smell that is hard to ignore.

Misting leaves no residue or stain when it comes in contact with your surfaces because it is water-based.

As long as the water base is clean, the smell is clean. Mosquito misting is more natural and kid and pet friendly than fogging because fogging requires quite a bit more safety precautions.
The products used in misting are microencapsulated, making the particles far more durable and gives them a better chance at withstanding wind and rainfall. The product makeup used in misting is slow-releasing, meaning that the infestation does not just feel the effects once when sprayed. Instead, they are constantly and consistently feeling the effects even weeks or even months after the initial spray. Misting creates the ideal size droplets for both effectiveness and longevity.
The Cons Of Misting. Misting requires a professional to come and apply the product, which requires a set appointment.
