About
MistAway Systems designs and manufactures industry-leading automated mosquito misting systems for backyards, commercial spaces, and outdoor areas. The systems work by distributing a very fine mist of mild botanical insecticide through a network of nozzles installed around a property, running two to three short cycles per day to eliminate mosquitoes and other nuisance insects. MistAway offers two primary product lines — the Gen 1.3 System and the Gen 3+ System — both built with advanced features that set them apart from competitors, including leak detection, concentrate agitation, and internet-connected monitoring. These systems are designed for long-term reliability, functioning like a dependable home appliance year after year. The iMist smartphone app gives homeowners wireless control over their system: triggering on-demand mists, checking the last and next scheduled mist, and monitoring remaining concentrate levels. Dealers also receive real-time system status alerts to proactively service units before they run out or experience issues. MistAway sells exclusively through a certified dealer network, though they also provide comprehensive DIY support resources, a parts catalog, and self-help guides for existing system owners. The company claims to have sold more mosquito control systems than the rest of the industry combined, making them the dominant player in residential and commercial outdoor pest control automation.
