Automist Insect Control Systems
 |
Automist Systems are so versatile they can be
installed conveniently at the time of new construction, when
additions are added or in already existing areas to effectively
reduce insect populations - automatically.
Automist with its very high control rate is effective
and completely automatic. Automist gives a synchronized spray that
evenly distributes coverage of insecticide over an entire area during
each timed spray duration.
Dairy & Cattle Barn
Installation
Holding areas and loafing sheds
provide a good area for installation. Controlling insects in these
areas provides a more comfortable atmosphere for livestock. Comfort
often leads to increased production and higher yields.

Lasting the
Test of Time
For over 19 years Automist Systems have proven to be a vital
resource in the fight to control insects. You can count on the
Automist System to provide years of dependable automatic service. We
manufacture our timers to combine reliability with easy of use.
Customers often comment on our compact yet highly functional design.
Adjustability is important! That's why our timers can perform
numerous cycles per day if necessary.
Nozzles and Fittings
Nickel plated nozzles and fittings offer superior protection from
corrosion. Simple, quick and easy are a few words that describe our
nozzle assemblies and fittings. Inter-changable fittings can be used
on either of our nozzles - straight or 45 degree.
Tee nozzle assembles work well in most areas. This is the most
common choice for livestock applications, one tee nozzles per 12' x
12' stall or area.
Elbow nozzle assemblies are used at the end of a tubing run. This
nozzle is used on the end so that a air bleeder valve is not
necessary.
Straight nozzle assemblies are used in areas where a loop of tubing
may not be needed or available. Branching off of a main feed line to
supply a straight nozzle offers the flexability to reach areas that
might be out of the way.
The fitting release tool makes changing fittings and nozzles in the
field a snap. If a nozzle becomes plugged over time simply pop the
adapter and nozzle out and pop a new one in. Simple as that.
Liquid Level Control
We protect our pumps by using a liquid level control. This control
senses when the liquid is low and disables the pump. Once the system
is filled the control senses it and enables the pump to be operable
once again.
Pyrethrin and
Permethrin
These two insecticide ingredients are extremly
effective against flying and crawling insects yet safe for use on
and around animals.
Over the years we've learned that rotation
between the two often can yield the best results. When used with
PBO (Pipernyl butoxide),
increased effectiveness, faster knockdown and lowered resistance are
common advantages.
Automist Systems can help aid in the control
of diseases carried by insects and parasites, thus reducing the
potential spread of infections and contamination.

Epps Biting Fly TrapTM
Reduce biting flies by 80%…whether they are biting
your horses, cows, dogs or kids, they deliver a very painful bite.
The Epps kills horse flies, deer flies, and all other biting flies
24/7. Studies have shown that the trap kills an average of 1 pound
of biting flies each day… WOW! This is the ultimate biting flytrap,
and you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it… The trap requires
no chemicals, or messy baits, just add soapy water. This trap is
environmentally sound… In the past, poisons have been used to
control insects. However the use of poisons is not favored due to
the deleterious effects on the environment, and the possibility of
killing potentially beneficial insects.
How it works:
The Epps Biting Fly TrapTM
is uniquely effective because it traps biting flies by using the
flies own natural behavior patterns. Many biting flies are
attracted to large objects of contrasting color to the
surroundings because such objects tend to be potential hosts
like cattle, deer, and horses. Also, biting flies such as stable
flies, horse flies, green heads, deer flies, bull flies, and
yellow flies tend to circle the host before actually landing to
bite.
The EPPS Trap takes advantage of these behaviors by
providing a large, contrasting surface area, with transparent
areas (which are actually clear plastic deflectors) representing
air space between an animal’s legs and over its back through
which the flies would normally circle before feeding. Flies see
the deflectors as open spaces and try to fly through then. They
hit the deflectors and ricochet into the soapy water in the
trays below. Dish soap is added to the water in the trays to
cause the flies to be wetted and drown faster.
Maintenance - Check the trap at least twice a week:
- The Trap kills an average of 1lb. per
day. Use an aquarium net (provided) or tea strainer to empty
out caught flies.
- Add additional water and soap as needed.
- Adjust bar ties to keep targets more or
less flat, level trays, replace torn deflectors, etc. as
needed.
- Keep weeds cut down around trap; weeds
growing under the bottom tray reduce fly catch.
Location:
The Trap works best when
placed in open, sunlit areas of pastures, and other areas where
biting flies are common and the trap is easy to see from a
distance. Avoid placing trap in woods or other densely vegetated
areas. Use several traps, or move trap every so often to find
the best area to trap.
- In pastures: place trap in an open area
away from tree line or dense vegetation. Use at least one
trap for every 20 acres of pasture.
- Around stables, dry lot dairies, and
feedlots: place trap outside of stalls or pens where animals
are being attacked by biting flies. Trap should be in an
open, sunlit area near animals, but far enough away (10 feet
or more) from fences or buildings that it appears as a
distinct, stand-alone object.
- Around homes, pools, or patios: Place
trap in an open, sunlit area away from bushes, trees, and
fences.
- In wooded parks and similar areas: place
trap in more open areas without heavy underbrush, for
example along trails or clearings.
Note: Cattle and horses generally do not bother the EPPS Trap
after becoming accustomed to its presence. However, placing the
trap out of reach of livestock, or fencing off the trap area
with wire or electric fencing is highly recommended.

included with trap)
This Trap is environmentally
sound....In the past, poisons have been used to control insects.
However the use of poisons is not favored due to the effects on
the environment and the possibility of killing potentially
beneficial insects.
