Automatic Fly Spray System with Analog Timer

RAMM's 55-gallon automatic fly & mosquito spray system eliminates flies, mosquitoes, and many other insects in 60 seconds or less! Insects are unable to develop an immunity to this formula and it interrupts the breeding cycle. The insecticides used in this automatic spray system are biodegradable, environmentally-safe (meets all requirements by the EPA), and are approved to be used around warm-blooded animals and humans.

This automatic spray system kit has everything you need to cover up to eight horse stalls! If you need to add more coverage, expansion kits are available. They include five tee nozzles, a 100' roll of nylon tubing, and one 25-pack of 1/4" tubing loop clamp fasteners and zip ties.

Once installed, the system is controlled by an automatic timer that's set to a synchronized spray on a predetermined 24-hour schedule. The pump draws the liquid concentrate from the reservoir and transfers it through the nylon tubing to the spray nozzles, which are placed in strategical locations based on the structure of the facility to create an evenly distributed zone of protection. The area is then covered with small particles of the water-based insecticide, thus killing a large number of the insects and disrupting the reproduction cycle. Please keep in mind... ONE typical female adult fly can lay up to 250-1,250 eggs in a two-week period! As soon as the temperature warms ups, flies start reproducing.

Configurations are different based on your structure/facility's layout. Common places that use the automatic spray system are horse stables, livestock barns, dog kennels, facility overhangs, fence containment systems, and backyards. This system can save you money by reducing problems created by contamination, infection, insect-transmitted disease, and animal stress; more insects will be killed per dollar spent. Keep the disease-infested pests away from your barn!

Kit Includes:

• 55-Gallon Drum
• Removable Lid & Locking Ring
• Weatherproof 55-Gallon Barrel Cover
• Analog Timer
• Pressure Gauge
• 1/2 HP HD Electric Pump Motor
• 8, Tee Nozzle Assemblies (each nozzle includes 5 nailers and 5 ties)
• 160' of Clear Nylon Tubing

Installation: Installation is relatively simple and can be completed by yourself. However, if you have questions in regards to designing a layout configuration that works best for you, we have account managers readily available to help. Once the system is installed and programmed, all you need to do is keep the insecticide concentrates refilled in your reservoir. This automatic spray system was designed to be virtually maintenance-free!

Chemicals Used:

• Pyrethrin Pyrethrum is a botanical insecticide produced primarily from the flowers of Tanacetum cineraria folium, which is a species of the chrysanthemum plant family. It is found mainly in tiny oil-containing glands on the surface of the seed case in the tightly packed flower head and is the plant’s own insecticide that has evolved to keep insects away. Pyrethrum is made up of six complex chemical esters known as pyrethrins, which work in combination to repel and kill insects. Pyrethrin has been used effectively to control insects for decades. It decomposes rapidly in the environment, making it an excellent choice for controlling pests. Pyrethrin has been extensively studied from a toxicology viewpoint. It is low in acute toxicity to humans and other vertebrate animals is non-carcinogenic and causes no adverse reproductive effects. Pyrethrin is commonly used as a post-harvest treatment for fruits and vegetables (especially during shipment) and is popular as a non-residual household insecticide spray.
• Permethrin is a broad-spectrum synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. Permethrin has been around since the 1970s and is widely used today in public health, home, pest control, forestry, agriculture, and head lice control. In the United States, over 100 million applications for Permethrin are made each year in homes, and over 18 million applications are made in yards and gardens. Like all synthetic pyrethroids, Permethrin kills insects by strongly exciting their nervous systems.
• Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) is an emulsifiable synergist for use in combination with insecticides, especially synthetic pyrethroids, as a tank mix to overcome the resistance that pests develop with the constant use of insecticides. PBO is a unique tank additive that restores activity against resistant strains of pests. It acts by inhibiting naturally occurring enzymes that would otherwise degrade the insecticide molecule.

Consumption Rate: The following formula figures out how many gallons of diluted insecticide your automatic spray system will consume in one week:

The number of times the system fires in a day is multiplied by the number of days in a week (7) multiplied by the number of spray nozzles on your system divided by 128 oz. gives you the number of gallons of liquid used each week. A 45-second cycle dispenses 1 ounce of insecticide per spray nozzle. The following is for firing for 45 seconds, 5 times a day, at 190 P.S.I. in the 55-gallon drum:

• 6 Nozzles (1.64 gallons/week) = 33 weeks
• 8 Nozzles (2.19 gallons/week) = 25 weeks
• 10 Nozzles (2.73 gallons/week) = 20 weeks
• 12 Nozzles (3.28 gallons/week) = 16 weeks
• 14 Nozzles (3.83 gallons/week) = 14 weeks
• 16 Nozzles (4.38 gallons/week) = 12 weeks
• 18 Nozzles (4.92 gallons/week) = 11 weeks
• 20 Nozzles (5.47 gallons/week) = 10 weeks 

Warranty: This automatic spray system includes a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. The warranty covers for failure or problems in workmanship, clogged nozzles, fittings damaged from freezing or improper installation, pumps ran with foreign liquids and timers that have been re-wired.
