If you’re suffering from mosquito infestations whether at home or your place of business here in Bali, then you need an effective, safe, yet powerful way to get rid of these biting pests. It is common knowledge that mosquitoes are not only annoying, they carry diseases that can be both dangerous and deadly, so it would be in your best interest to find the ideal solution that would suit you and your family best.

There are a number of mosquito control methods available in Bali today – the two most popular methods include misting system vs fogging. While these are the two most common techniques used throughout the island, it is important to note that there are major differences between the two.

In today’s post, we’d like to share with you the differences between misting systems vs fogging to help you make a smart and informed decision for the health and the safety of yourself and your loved ones. Let’s take a look.

What Is The Difference Between Misting System And Fogging Mosquitoes?

Fogging

Traditional mosquito fogging is an ineffective method of eliminating mosquitoes using a large cylindrical metal machine. The machine is filled with insecticides and diesel and once turned on, makes a loud roaring sound while dispelling strong-smelling, potentially dangerous and chemical-filled insecticides into the air in the form of a fog. While it does eliminate mosquitoes, fogging is only effective for a short period of time – usually only up to 72 hours or less. Also, do note that traditional mosquito fogging will have no effects on larvae or mosquito eggs.

Not a long-term solution: Fogging is effective but it will only deter mosquitoes for up to 72 hours as the particles from the fog would typically drift away with the air or the wind. The insecticide used in fogging is also not as durable or effective as the natural components used in misting.

Doesn’t kill larvae or eggs: While it kills adult mosquitoes, fogging will not kill larvae or eggs, so once they hatch, you’ll experience a surge in mosquito population once again. Mosquito larvae typically hatch within 24 to 48 hours of being laid, but this can vary depending on the temperature. Remember that mosquito eggs can survive for months even in dry conditions.

Strong smelling: The fog produced from the fogging machine strong smelling, similar to burning oil and can potentially irritate small children, the elderly and pets.

Chemical-based: The insecticides used in fogging are chemical-based mixed with diesel, which would leave an oily residue on your plants, grass and outdoor furniture. We recommend wiping down all outdoor furniture and surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any remaining chemicals.

May be harmful: Chemicals used in fogging may be harmful to humans – in particular, small children – and pets if they are inhaled. Keep your loved ones indoors and close all doors and windows while fogging is taking place. Stay indoors for at least 4 hours before to minimise exposure and to allow the chemicals to dissipate.

Misting System

Misting system eliminates mosquitoes quickly and effectively and for a long-term period, but without the loud noise, the foul smell, or the toxic chemicals and pollution. Misting system vs fogging targets mosquitoes in all of their favourite hiding spots like dark foliage and damp areas but what makes misting system superior is that the nozzles are placed to aim the mosquito resting spots in order to eradicate mosquitoes directly or leave a residual effect that will eliminates them once they touch the surface treated even when the insecticide is dry within 24/48 hours. Misting system is also water-based and at Mosquito Solution Bali, we use an eco-friendly repellent derived from an all-natural, plant-based compound that is better for you, your family and the environment.  

Longer-lasting effects: Unlike fogging which uses a machine for a one-off effect, mosquito misting uses pipelines and nozzles that are set up discreetly along the perimeter of your property to automatically dispel a thin and light mist of all-natural mosquito repellent with lasting up to two weeks. Particles from the mist can last up to two weeks due to a superior blend, and won’t easily dissipate with the wind or rain.

Targets larvae & eggs: Mosquito misting targets the larvae and eggs of mosquitoes and repels them where they lie. This will ensure an immediate decline in the mosquito population in and around your property.

Odourless, water-based & natural: At Mosquito Solution, we use an odourless formula that is all-natural and plant-based, a gentle formula that is not harmful to humans or animals. We use water instead of oil to disperse the mist, which is cleaner and more sustainable for the environment.

Kid-friendly & pet-friendly: Our misting system uses only 2.5% of insecticide compared to 25% of a traditional manual treatment, which makes it safe for children and pets if not directly exposed to the mist itself.
