IMPORTANT TIPS
• The TERMINIX ALLCLEAR Mosquito
Mister is designed for use ONLY
with ALLCLEAR Mosquito Mister
Concentrates. Not Included.
Sold Separately.
• Rell Mister only when Tank is
completely empty and/or when
solution level is below Rell indicator
on front of tank. This prevents
incorrect solution mix which could
affect operation.
TRANSPORTING MISTER IN A
VEHICLE
The Mister can be transported in a car
or other vehicle. When possible, empty
Tank. To transport:
1. Securely fasten Tank Cap.
2. Position Mister upright in vehicle
to prevent leaking of solution from
Tank Cap if tank is not empty.
3. Secure Mister to prevent
movement when vehicle is in
motion.
FILLING THE TANK*
1. Remove Tank Cap from the top of the unit by pushing down and turning Cap
counterclockwise.
NOTE: Beneath Tank Cap is a Filter. Leave in place when lling Tank. As needed, remove lter and
rinse clean with water. After rinsing, replace lter in tank opening.
2. Slowly ll Tank with water to the ‘1/2’ full indicator (see Mister front panel). For
best results use a garden hose or watering can.
3. Slowly add one entire bottle of ALLCLEAR Concentrate. (Before adding
Concentrate, read Concentrate instructions carefully.)
4. Slowly nish lling Tank with water until solution level reaches bottom of lter.
Be sure to ll Tank slowly to avoid foaming of solution.
5. Replace Tank Cap.
*IMPORTANT:
• When lling for the rst time, users may want to test with water. It is
important to ll the Mister to at least the 3/4 mark on the front so as not to
damage the unit.
• Do NOT plug in unit until ready to mist.

IMPORTANT TIPS
• Mister performs best if positioned
and activated inside of or near
desired coverage area.
• For optimal control, users may
need to mist an area more than
once and/or move the Mister to
another part of the treatment area
in the following situations:
• Areas of very heavy
mosquito populations
• Areas planned for large
gatherings (more people
bring increased mosquito
activity)
• Areas where wind is idle
since solution may not
be carried as far into
treatment area
• Operate Mister daily for optimal
results.
POSITIONING THE MISTER
Proper placement of the Mister is
important for optimal insect control.
In certain situations, users may
need to mist more than once and/or
move the Mister to another location
to achieve optimal results (see
Important Tips).
1. Determine area to be protected.
2. Pull up on Mister Handle and
roll into desired coverage area.
3. Establish direction of prevailing
wind and position Mister
according to wind conditions
(see illustrations).
EXAMPLE:
Treating a patio area. Determine
prevailing wind. Depending on
wind direction, place Mister on
either side of, in the center of, or
a few feet beyond center of patio
so that prevailing winds will carry
mist solution directly over patio and
surrounding areas.
Position Mister at edge
of desired coverage
area with Mister nozzles
facing mist area so that
prevailing wind will carry
mist solution over target
area.
Position Mister in the
center of desired coverage
area so that the wind will
carry mist solution equally
throughout desired
coverage area.
Position Mister in
the center of desired
coverage area or a few
feet beyond center of
coverage area.

IMPORTANT TIPS
• Operate Mister daily for optimal
results.
• Mister will enter Sleep Mode 60
minutes after being Powered ON.
• Users will experience immediate
relief from biting insects. Best
results are realized 10-15 minutes
after misting.
• In areas of high mosquito
populations or in situations where
many people are inside coverage
area, additional mist applications
may be necessary.
• Avoid using Mister during
high winds (>10 mph), heavy
rainfall, fog, or when outside
air temperatures fall below 50
degrees Fahrenheit or other times
when insects are typically not
active.
• Do not use or leave Mister outside
and plugged in if raining.
ACTIVATING MIST CYCLE
WHEN TO ACTIVATE:
The TERMINIX ALLCLEAR Mosquito Mister can be used any time of day or night to provide immediate and reliable
control of mosquitoes, gnats, ticks, and other biting insects for up to 6 hours in an area of up to 2,000 sq. ft.* It
is recommended that users activate Mist Cycle 10 to 15 minutes before spending time outdoors to allow for mist
solution to take maximum effect (especially when mosquitoes are most active). See ALLCLEAR Concentrate label
and/or go to www.terminixallclear.com for additional application instructions.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
The TERMINIX ALLCLEAR Mosquito Mister mists an ultra-ne solution of water and ALLCLEAR Mosquito Mister
Concentrate. The mist solution is atomized out from Mister and carried by the wind into desired coverage area.
During the 4-minute Mist Cycle, the mist appears like a light fog and is visible for the rst 5-10 feet from the
machine. Even when no longer visible, the mist continues to move throughout the coverage area creating an
invisible barrier of protection from biting insects for hours.
Depending on weather and wind conditions, the mist may swirl high and low around Mister and/or it may move
directly out from unit or drift behind Mister during Mist Cycle. This is normal operation. If mist moves toward an
undesired area, stop Mist Cycle with Remote Control, allow the mist to dissipate, and reposition Mister so mist is
carried by wind into desired area. (See page 7 for ‘Positioning the Mister’ instructions.)
* When used with ALLCLEAR PLUS Concentrate.
Other insects include: ticks, gnats, horse ies,
stable ies, deer ies, face ies and others.
ACTIVATING WITH REMOTE CONTROL

2. Press green Power/Mist Button on back of Mister once to turn unit ON. Green power

asleep. To wake unit up, press WAKE UP button on Remote Control.
3. Point Remote Control to back of the unit and press Mist Now button.
NOTE: Remote must be pointed toward back of unit and no more than 15 ft. away.

NOTE: If mist moves into undesired area, stop Mist Cycle by pressing Stop Mist button on
Remote Control.

7. If desired, move or reposition Mister and mist again (see page 7).

What is the TERMINIX ALLCLEAR Backyard
Mosquito Mister?
The TERMINIX ALLCLEAR Backyard Mosquito Mister
is the fastest way to clear a yard of mosquitoes and
other biting insects. In just 4 minutes, mosquitoes are
reduced by more than 90% for as long as six hours.*
How large of an area will the Mister protect?
The Backyard Mister has been proven to protect up to
2,000 sq. ft. for as long as six hours*. The Mister can
be easily repositioned or moved to another area of the
yard for additional mosquito control. The number of
people in the area and other environmental factors
such as wind can affect the level of protection. It
may be necessary to mist more often or reposition the
Mister according to outdoor conditions.
How does the TERMINIX ALLCLEAR Mister work?
It works by atomizing an ultra-ne mist solution of
water and ALLCLEAR Mosquito Mister Concentrate.
The mist controls mosquitoes immediately and then
creates and invisible barrier of protection that repels
biting insects for hours.
What kind of insecticide does the TERMINIX
ALLCLEAR Mister use?
There are two concentrates to choose from to best
meet your insect control needs.
•100% NATURALS: 100% plant-based formula
that protects with the power of the lemongrass
plant. It is SAFE to use around kids, pets, food.
Environmentally friendly, biodegradable.
•Synergized PLUS: synthetic formula based on
botanical extract from the Chrysanthemum
ower. EPA registered, low in toxicity, effective
for up to 6 hours.
Are the concentrates OK to use in yards with
children and animals?
Yes. Our 100% NATURALS formula is safe to use
around kids, pets, and food. It contains a botanical
extract of the lemongrass plant. Our EPA-registered
PLUS formula is a highly effective solution that is
considered low toxicity and is intended for use in
yards with children and pets.
Can I use my TERMINIX ALLCLEAR Mister to
protect the area around my pool?
Yes. The Mister is very effective at treating areas
where you and your family spend time outdoors,
including the area around your pool.
What kinds of insects does the TERMINIX
ALLCLEAR Mister eliminate?
The TERMINIX ALLCLEAR Mister and ALLCLEAR
Concentrates kill and repel mosquitoes, gnats, stable
ies, horse ies, face ies, and deer ies.
Will it kill insects like bees and butteries?
It’s important to mist when mosquitoes are most
active – dusk and dawn – typically the time when
benecial insects are NOT active. The mist has been
carefully calibrated to control small ying biting
insects, but can be harmful to larger insects if they
come in direct contact with the mist application. Try
to mist away from ower gardens and other areas that
are known to attract benecial insects.
Where should I place my TERMINIX ALLCLEAR
Mister?
Simply place the Mister in the outdoor living area you
want to protect and activate. Winds carry the mist
throughout the desired coverage area (up to 2,000
sq. ft.), killing mosquitoes on contact and repelling
others for up to 6 hours.* The Mister can be easily
repositioned or moved to treat other areas of the yard.
* When used with ALLCLEAR PLUS Concentrate. Other insects include:
ticks, gnats, horse ies, stable ies, deer ies, face ies and others.
