Mortein

Residential pest control expert, Dan Sheehy, answers.

The short answer is ‘yes’. One can use electrical devices like the Mortein Insta 5 Machine on a daily basis whenever mosquitoes create an issue. When you plug in the machine, it starts heating up and releasing a fine vapor. The actual quantity of active ingredient is more than enough to get rid of those mosquitoes.

The real reason the vapor needs to be uninterrupted is that any deviation causes it to spread around and disperse.

Moretin Insta 5 machine can be used even if you have pets in your house – birds, dogs and cats included. However, there is one exception which comes in the form of fish, as they are sensitive to insecticides. It is highly suggested that you don’t keep a fish tank in the same room where you keep the Insta 5 machine. There are high chances that you don’t have pet honeybees, but if you do, the machine can be toxic to them too, so it is best that you shift them to a different room.

As in the case of every insecticides and insect repellents, it is imperative that you read all the instructions mentioned on the packaging and follow the recommendations. For instance, each room should only have one machine – they’ve been mindfully formulated to release exactly the right dosage of active.

As the machine have an internal heater that triggers the vapor, they tend to get hot. So, it is important for you to keep the device away from the reach of kids and animals – and away from anything that is flammable, such as blankets or curtains.Simply take all these above mentioned precautions, and you are good to simply plugging in and enjoying instant mosquito protection.
