The insecticide that is used in this system is not harmful to humans or pets. It will not build up as residue on your windows if you have the nozzles set up close to the house. It is biodegradable and is not harmful to the environment nor will it harm any surfaces on which it lands. The insecticide that the misting control system uses is called Pyrethrum. This is extracted from the Chrysanthemum plants making it a very natural method of controlling mosquitoes. With this system you set the timer for the automated misting and leave it alone. If you need extra sprays, there is a remote control that you can operate yourself.
