Abstract:
1. A method for controlling an insect population at a target area with a misting system for spraying an insecticide, the method comprising: dispensing the insecticide at the target area; collecting data regarding the misting system; determining at least one current condition of the misting system; diagnosing a current functionality of the misting system; detecting a low level of the insecticide in a chemical reservoir of the misting system; alerting an operator of the low level of the insecticide in the chemical reservoir by sending the operator an alert through the interne with instructions to fill the chemical reservoir; determining an amount of time until the operator fills the chemical reservoir and rationing an amount of insecticide dispensed by the misting system based on a level of the insecticide remaining in the chemical reservoir and an amount of time remaining until the chemical reservoir is filled; automatically determining at least one historical condition of the misting system; and automatically changing a spray cycle based on the automatically determined historical condition as needed to optimize operating efficiency of the mosquito misting system.
