When summer calls, the garden answers—but, unfortunately, so do the mosquitoes.
The quintessential summer pests are always ready, day and night, to ruin our moments of relaxation or celebration, drawn to greenery, water, and our blood.
After trying every kind of remedy—cosmetic, natural, electric devices, and so on—without much success, we can finally rely on truly effective mosquito control systems.
In this article, therefore, we’ll explore the latest additions to the Sabart catalog: the iZanz mosquito control system and the Sandokan mosquito control system.
The Plague of Mosquitoes
A real plague for everyone, returning every summer: mosquitoes! After working so hard to tend to the patio or garden and get them ready to enjoy cool evenings with company, barbecues with friends, relaxing moments, or letting the kids play on the lawn, we find our fun ruined by these bloodsucking insects, with unbearable bites and annoying buzzing.
Preventing their spread is quite difficult: we’d have to keep our green spaces completely dry, and we know how impossible that is. There is also a wealth of botanical literature discussing plants and flowers that naturally repel mosquitoes; yet, mosquitoes still swarm even in the gardens of the most experienced gardeners. Relying on pest control carried out by public agencies remains a distant hope, while treating the symptoms—with medications, ointments, and soothing products—remains expensive and isn’t always enough to make the itching, irritation, and welts on our skin go away.
The only solution lies in mosquito repellent products: spray cans, torches, repellent pads, “stoves,” and so on and so forth. Setting aside the unpleasant odors for humans, the clutter caused by lanterns that must be placed everywhere, or the damage from wax that inevitably spills, we must consider that the larger the outdoor space, the more the actual effectiveness of these products diminishes.
While the negative effects in a home setting are limited to annoyance, for hoteliers, restaurateurs, and businesses in the tourism and hospitality sector, mosquitoes can also result in financial loss: who would ever book a dinner in a courtyard swarming with mosquitoes or a stay at a bed-and-breakfast infested with these insects?
New Mosquito Control Systems
Fortunately, new technological systems have recently been developed and produced that can tackle the mosquito problem effectively, consistently, and without negative consequences for humans.
These are mosquito control systems based on advanced technology that automatically mist environmentally friendly repellents, enhancing the natural beauty of green spaces without compromising on comfort or sustainability.
This allows for daily maintenance to keep gardens, terraces, courtyards, and large outdoor spaces free of mosquitoes, without resorting to heavy pest control measures or aggressive chemicals that could harm plants, flowers, and lawns, as well as pose risks to humans or damage furnishings and flooring.
Recently, we have added two mosquito control systems to the Sabart catalog, both highly effective but with slightly different application methods. Let’s take a closer look at them.
THE SANDOKAN MOSQUITO CONTROL SYSTEM
The first mosquito control system we’re introducing is the Automizer 12V by Sandokan: a device, entirely designed and manufactured in Italy, that embodies the brand’s extensive experience in combating mosquitoes and pesky insects and offers an integrated, intuitive solution.
This professional automatic misting system guarantees effective protection against mosquitoes and insects in both small and large green spaces, easily adapting to gardens, terraces, patios, parks, hospitality facilities, and outdoor venues.
It is available in a 12V version (with a 230V transformer) capable of continuous operation, designed for those who want constant reliability and maximum performance without worrying about recharging the battery.
At the heart of the system is Sandokan’s advanced electronics, which program intelligent misting cycles, ensuring precise delivery, product savings, and environmental friendliness. The 20-liter tank with an internal mixer ensures a constant distribution of insecticide or repellent, providing long-lasting and effective protection against mosquitoes as well as bed bugs, fleas, and ticks.
Thanks to its sturdy construction, high-performance pump, and the ability to add up to 20 extra nozzles, Sandokan’s Automizer mosquito control system easily adapts to any outdoor setting: from small private gardens to large green spaces such as parks and restaurant or hotel terraces.
Key features:
- 12V power supply with included 230V transformer (IPX4)
- Programmable misting cycles up to 6 per day
- 20L tank with mixer for up to 3 months of operation
- Compatible with Sandokan insecticides and repellents
- Basic coverage up to 300 sq m, extendable to 1000 sq m with an extra kit
- Up to 30 activatable micro-misting nozzles (10 included + 33 m of tubing)
- Built-in alarms: empty tank, pre-dispensing, critical temperatures
- Display with touch buttons (captive) for intuitive programming
The Benefits of the Sandokan Automizer Mosquito Control System
The combination of Sandokan’s green philosophy and technological excellence makes Automizer truly innovative and much more than just a simple sprayer. Thanks to its internal agitator, the formulation (insecticide or repellent) remains constantly ready to be sprayed, ensuring it can precisely reach even the most difficult corners. Furthermore, the ability to schedule application times—even at night—helps protect pollinating insects.
Every detail has been designed to ensure a simple yet highly professional user experience. The display with captive buttons facilitates interaction and makes programming more intuitive, while safety alarms (empty tank, temperatures too high or too low) provide continuous monitoring of the unit’s proper operation.
Several key features make Automizer superior to other mosquito control systems on the market. The Made in Italy design and quality are reflected in meticulous engineering and materials chosen to stand the test of time.
The large 20-liter tank with an internal agitator prevents sediment buildup and maintains efficient misting. Additionally, the advanced electronics, featuring 14 preset pest control programs and extensive customization options, allow the device to be adapted to specific needs without requiring specialized technical skills.
Finally, high flexibility: Automizer can easily reach up to 30 dispensing points located as desired, offering extensive and targeted coverage at a very affordable price.
- Professional, automated, and modular mosquito control system
- Targeted and sustainable dispensing, environmentally friendly
- Simple installation, ready to use with everything included
- Expandable with additional kits for large public or private spaces
- Quiet and discreet operation, suitable for any environment
- Guaranteed Sandokan technical support and assistance
How to use the Sandokan Automizer mosquito control system
- Place the micro-misters in strategic locations in the garden or area to be treated
- Connect the device to the power supply using the IPX4 transformer
- Fill the 20L tank with the diluted Sandokan solution, following the instructions on the label
- Set dispensing cycles and schedules using the touch-button control panel
- Use insecticide at night (pest control) and repellent during the day (protective action)
- Periodically check the tank level and the condition of the nozzles
For optimal results, we recommend combining this product with larvicides and electric insecticides as part of an integrated mosquito control system.

This versatility allows for the effective protection of both residential spaces and public or commercial areas. iZanz can handle complex topographies, such as terraced or sloped gardens, using special connectors and customized programming to ensure optimal coverage.
They are also designed to blend seamlessly into the structure of the building or garden, remaining discreet and unobtrusive. This approach ensures that the aesthetics of the environment are not compromised, while maintaining high effectiveness in mosquito protection.
How the iZanz method works
- Automated misting. A network of misting nozzles dispenses a solution made from natural or biocompatible substances, designed to repel mosquitoes.
Misting occurs on a scheduled basis, typically during peak mosquito activity times (dawn and dusk). - Eco-friendly solutions. The system uses eco-friendly solutions formulated with natural ingredients or plant-based pyrethroids. These components are safe for humans and the environment but highly effective at keeping mosquitoes away.
- Automation and customization. The IZanz system is equipped with a Smart System featuring automated controls that allow you to adjust the timing and frequency of fogging, as well as the mixing of the fogging solution.
- Extended protection. The misting creates an invisible protective barrier capable of covering large outdoor areas without leaving residues or lingering odors.
- Safety. The iZanz system is designed to ensure maximum safety for people, pets, and the environment.
The solutions used are carefully tested to be non-toxic and safe for health, leaving no harmful residues.
Furthermore, the system’s components are made from certified, durable materials, designed to operate reliably and safely over time. - Ease of use and maintenance. Installation and maintenance of the system are simple, making the solution accessible even for those seeking a non-invasive and practical approach.
- Patented Made in Italy technology. The iZanz system utilizes patented technologies and techniques. The iZanz control units, proudly Made in Italy, are tested, certified, and manufactured to the highest quality standards.
Insecticides and Repellents
The iZanz mosquito control system allows you to choose from a variety of natural repellents, including pyrethroid-based and natural pyrethrum-based products.
Pyrethrum is extracted from a flower of the large Asteraceae family, grown primarily in Central Africa, and has been used since ancient times to repel mosquitoes. An important characteristic is that it leaves negligible residues in the environment: since it is photolabile, it is non-toxic to animals, humans, and plants. However, it is harmful to reptiles and fish, so special care must be taken near fountains with fish, aquariums, and reptile enclosures.
Synthetic pyrethroids are insecticides with a molecular structure similar to that of natural pyrethrum, but they are more resistant to heat and sunlight. For use in iZanz systems, therefore, they must be in an aqueous microemulsion.
In iZanz systems, plant essences and natural repellents such as citronella or geraniol can also be used; these are unpleasant to mosquitoes and repel them. In addition to pyrethrins, there are natural repellents derived from essential oils of plants such as citronella, eucalyptus, and neem. These compounds work by masking the odors that attract mosquitoes or by interfering with their sensory receptors, reducing the likelihood of bites. Natural repellents offer an alternative with a lower environmental impact and reduced risks compared to synthetic insecticides.
