Mosquito Misting Nozzle Planner

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.

The advisory band here is a sanity check on parts, not a bid. To build the actual number you hand the homeowner, including labor, the reservoir, the zone kits and the annual refill, use the misting system installation pricing calculator. Plenty of these properties also get a conventional barrier spray between refills, and what to charge for a mosquito yard treatment is worked out separately, since the per-visit route job and the one-time install price very differently.
