Mosquito Misting Nozzle Planner
Turn a measured yard perimeter and a nozzle spacing into a nozzle count, pump zones, zone kits, and a tubing estimate — equipment sizing for a perimeter mosquito misting system. No login.
How this is calculated
In Perimeter mode the nozzle count is the run your nozzles follow (yard perimeter plus any extra patio/pergola runs) divided by the spacing, rounded up so the whole perimeter is covered. Pump zones come from your pump's per-zone ceiling; each zone beyond the first is one zone kit (the kit "doubles capacity"). Tubing is the path length plus the supply lead, rounded to the nearest 5 ft. Lot size mode is a coarser acre-bracket fallback for when you have no perimeter — it gives a nozzle count and zones only, no tubing.
nozzles = ceil((perimeter + extra runs) / spacing)
zones = ceil(nozzles / nozzles-per-zone) // default 80
zone kits = max(0, zones − 1)
tubing = round(perimeter + extra + supply lead, 5 ft) // Perimeter mode only
lot-size fallback (no perimeter):
acres = lot sq ft / 43,560
nozzles ≈ bracket(acres) // ¼ ac ≈ 20, ½ ac ≈ 30, full acre ≈ 40+
cost band (advisory, opt-in):
low = nozzles × $8 high = nozzles × $15
point = nozzles × your $/nozzle Spacing follows Tuxedo and PestControlPricing.com ("10 to 15 feet apart"; conical mist "projects 8 to 10 feet from the nozzle tip"). The acre brackets are PestControlPricing.com's quarter/half/full-acre tiers. The ~80 nozzles/zone ceiling is the MistAway Gen3+ confirmed figure — other pumps differ, so the field is editable; check your pump's spec. We deliberately do not assert any per-zone tubing maximum (the "75 nozzles / 750 ft" figure was unsourced and is omitted), and the install-cost band is advisory budgeting only, never a quote. This is a layout estimate, not an engineered hydraulic design.
