Misting Systems- Other Uses For management of pests on deer farms Deer Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease is a concern Carried by biting midges, Culicoides Deer farming is big business in some states Use misting nozzles on fences, shelters, gates EHD does not affect humans or livestock Very specific to whitetail deer
Ad for control of Whitetail EHD
Barrier Sprays 80-120 micron droplets applied with a motorized mister blower Applications to harborage especially along the perimeter Products vary widely Bifenthrin Cyfluthrin Lambda Cyhalothrin, Demand Deltamethrin, Suspend others
Thermal and ULV Synthetic pyrethroids, oil or water diluted Organophosphates, malathion or chlorpyrifos With OPs odor is a problem ULV Pyrethrum products usually diluted with water Applied using handheld or smaller ULV Equipment Sprayers may be mounted on ATVs, utility vehicles Many products to choose from
ULV applications

ATV mounted ULV
Cost & Treatment cycle Barriers Costs vary by region and competition Typically a range between $69 to $120 per application Most barrier applications begin in April/May and run through November Most companies have adopted a 20 day cycle (Due to the degradation of most synthetic pyrethroid products)
Misting Systems The cost of a misting system varies widely Again in part to regional affluence and (of course competition) Generally a simple 55 gallon analog system will start around $1400.00 For larger more sophisticated multi zonal tankless systems cost may be around $6K. Refills are determined by usage With a three time/day spray a system will need to be recharged every 45 days or so
SoWhat are the concerns? Non-target effects Family members, children Pets, some dogs very susceptible, cats and fish Birds are susceptible to residual insecticides High application rates, barrier Effect on Butterflies, bees and assorted other critters Chemical trespass, adjoining yards or property The bubba factor Fob actuators, turns misting system on, may be misused Off label pesticide use, mix your own, over application
Use pesticides responsibly
