Is It True That Pro-Tech™ Is the Only Company Offering 4 Sizes?

Yes! Pro-Tech™ offers four different system sizes. Pro-Tech™ is the only company that offers such a variety, guarantee of quality and price range. Just call us and we are happy to help you learn which size, model and budget is right for you and your needs!

How Many Spray Nozzles Will I Need?

First, we are happy to help you-- so you can call us and we will walk you through step by step! For a general idea: In horse barns, we normally suggest one misting nozzle for each approximate 12'x12' stall plus a few for the aisles, doorways, and grooming and wash areas. Each nozzle will control approximately 1,000 to 1,500 cu. ft. of airspace, depending on the normal air currents in your facility.

Pro-Tech™ Uses Py-Tech "Natural" Insecticide-- Made From Flowers!

The name is Py-Tech™, our dependable year in and year out performer. Py-Tech™ contains two active ingredients, one of which is pyrethrum, derived from a specific member of the chrysanthemum family. The other is an extract of the sassafras root. The actives are combined with an emulsion system, which prevents product separation. The final additive is deionized water. Py-Tech is purposely formulated without adding inexpensive petroleum distillate fillers. There will be no oily walls or floors to contend with and no petroleum to ingest.

  • Non-toxic to mammals
  • No unpleasant odors
  • Can be used in any existing system
  • No petroleum distillate fillers

How Long Does My Py-Tech Last Before I Need A Refill?

Our finely machined spray nozzles each emit approximately 1.1 ounce per minute at 160 p.s.i. The average customer sprays about four minutes total per day (e.g. 6 times per day at 40 seconds per application). This equates to a usage of about one gallon per nozzle per month. (e.g. A 15 nozzle system with a 30 gallon reservoir would need to be refilled every two months.)

What If I Need Odor Control? Use Neutra Scent Odor Neutralizer!

Get rid of disturbing odors safely and naturally. "Neutra Scent" is the neutralizing agent that controls odors the natural way! Neutra-Scent does not mask, instead has the remarkable property of actually destroying unpleasant odors!

  • Contains no acid, or highly caustic alkaline materials, it is pleasant and easy to use
  • Non-toxic and biodegradable
  • Economical - a one-gallon container makes up to 60 gallons of odor neutralizer
  • Available in a variety of scents

How does a Pro-Tech automatic misting system protect a barn around the clock?

A Pro-Tech system links a timer-controlled brass vane pump to a network of misting nozzles run through small-diameter feed tubing along the rafters and aisles of your barn. At preset intervals the pump pressurizes the line and each nozzle releases a fine mist of insecticide, knocking down flies, mosquitoes, gnats and other flying pests automatically — even when no one is in the barn. Each nozzle controls roughly 1,000 to 1,500 cubic feet of airspace, and the company recommends one misting nozzle for each approximate 12'x12' stall plus a few extra for the aisles, doorways, and grooming and wash areas.

Who is Pro-Tech Livestock Corporation and how long have they done this?

Pro-Tech Livestock Corporation is a locally owned Texas company that has built and supplied automatic misting systems since 1989, operating out of Pinehurst and Tomball, Texas (P.O. Box 1450, Tomball, TX 77377). They specialize in fly and odor control for horse barns, livestock houses, animal facilities, and residential and commercial outdoor areas. You can reach their team at or, by fax, or by.

Pro-Tech SS 100 half-horsepower automatic misting system pump for up to 100 nozzles
Pro-Tech SS 100 half-horsepower automatic misting system pump for up to 100 nozzles

Which system size fits your barn — SS 35, SS 50, or SS 100?

Pro-Tech builds the system around three hardware models so the pump matches your nozzle count. The SS 35 uses a 1/4 h.p. motor with a 50-gallon-per-hour brass vane pump and 1/4" feed tubing to drive up to 25 nozzles; the SS 50 — their most popular model — steps up to a 1/3 h.p. motor and a 100-gallon-per-hour brass vane pump for up to 50 nozzles; and the SS 100 runs a 1/2 h.p. motor with a 125-gallon-per-hour brass vane pump and larger 3/8" feed tubing for up to 100 nozzles. All three carry a two-year warranty, which requires that you use only solutions sold by Pro-Tech.

What goes in the reservoir — and is it safe around horses?

Pro-Tech's signature insecticide is Py-Tech, built on pyrethrum derived from a specific member of the chrysanthemum family and an extract of the sassafras root, combined with an emulsion system and deionized water — without adding inexpensive petroleum distillate fillers. It is a low-odor formula with low toxicity to mammals, made from flowers and accepted by the EPA. The lineup also includes EcoSMART Horse Fly Spray, an organic ready-to-use botanical-oil spray that kills on contact and repels stable flies, horse flies, deer flies, face flies, house flies, horn flies, mosquitoes and gnats, plus Neutra-Scent Odor Neutralizer, a non-toxic, biodegradable concentrate where a half-gallon makes up to 60 gallons and actually destroys unpleasant odors rather than masking them.

How much solution will the system actually use?

Each Pro-Tech spray nozzle emits approximately 1.1 ounce per minute at 160 p.s.i., and the average customer sprays about four minutes total per day. That works out to roughly one gallon per nozzle per month — so, for example, a 15-nozzle system feeding from a 30-gallon reservoir typically needs refilling about every two months. Before each refill, Pro-Tech suggests you clean the suction filter with water to keep the pump and nozzles flowing freely.

Where Pro-Tech systems are installed beyond the horse barn

The same timer-driven misting hardware works equally well in enclosed or open buildings and serves equine facilities, cattle and swine housing, kennels, poultry houses, veterinary clinics and zoological facilities. On the commercial and industrial side, Pro-Tech systems protect trash collection facilities, apartments, grocery stores, hospitals, restaurants, sewage treatment plants and storage areas, and they bring automatic flying-insect control to residential patio, pool and backyard spaces as well.

The Solution Section (FAQ)
What does a Pro-Tech™ automatic spray system do for a horse barn?
It is an automatic misting system that sprays insecticide on a timer to control flies, mosquitoes, gnats, and odors throughout your barn. Pro-Tech™ Livestock Corporation has built these systems since 1989 to keep stalls protected even when you are not there. The goal is a safe haven that stops biting insects from using your barn as a “cafeteria” where your horse is the main course.
Is the insecticide safe to use around horses and people?
Yes. Pro-Tech™ systems use Py-Tech™ insecticide, made from flowers — its active ingredients are pyrethrum derived from a member of the chrysanthemum family and an extract of sassafras root, combined with an emulsion system and deionized water. It is non-toxic to mammals, has no unpleasant odors, and is purposely formulated without petroleum distillate fillers, so there are no oily walls or floors and nothing petroleum-based to ingest.
How many spray nozzles will my barn need?
As a general guide, Pro-Tech™ suggests one misting nozzle for each approximately 12'x12' stall, plus a few extra for aisles, doorways, and grooming and wash areas. Each nozzle controls roughly 1,000 to 1,500 cubic feet of airspace depending on the air currents in your facility. They will also walk you through sizing step by step if you call.
Which Pro-Tech™ system models are available?
Pro-Tech™ offers four system sizes — the only company that offers that range, with a guarantee of quality and price. The Model SS 50 (Standard Size) is the most popular, with a 1/3 h.p. motor and 100 gallon-per-hour brass vane pump designed for up to 50 nozzles. The Model SS 100 (1/2 h.p., 125 GPH, up to 100 nozzles) and the Model SS 150 Jumbo Size (1/2 h.p., 165 GPH, up to 150 nozzles) handle larger facilities.
How long does the insecticide last before I need a refill?
Each finely machined nozzle emits about 1.1 ounce per minute at 160 p.s.i. The average customer sprays roughly four minutes total per day — for example, six times a day at 40 seconds per application — which works out to about one gallon per nozzle per month. As an example, a 15-nozzle system with a 30-gallon reservoir would need refilling about every two months.
What kinds of facilities use Pro-Tech™ misting systems?
All equine barns, training facilities, and veterinary clinics use them, along with bovine housing, poultry houses, zoos, commercial trash areas, and backyard pools and patios. Controlling flies, mosquitoes, gnats, and malodors creates a healthier environment for you and your animals. Pro-Tech™ also serves residential, commercial outdoor, and industrial applications.
Can Pro-Tech™ help with barn odor, and is there a portable fly spray?
Yes to both. “Neutra Scent” is a non-toxic, biodegradable odor neutralizer that destroys unpleasant odors rather than masking them, and one gallon makes up to 60 gallons of solution. For protection on the go, EcoSMART Horse Fly Spray comes in a bottle for your tack room or trailer — an organic blend of plant oils that knocks down and repels stable flies, horse flies, deer flies, face flies, house flies, horn flies, mosquitoes, and gnats.
How do I get help choosing a system and what about the warranty?
Pro-Tech™ Livestock Corporation, with more than 30 years of experience, is happy to help you pick the right size, model, and budget — Models SS50 and SS100 carry a full one-year warranty (which requires using only Pro-Tech™ solutions). Call 800-776-5005 or 281-259-0600, email [email protected], or visit http://www.protech-control.com/ to get started.
What does a Pro-Tech Automatic Spray System actually do?
It is a timer-controlled misting system that automatically sprays a fine insecticide mist through nozzles installed around your barn or facility. At preset intervals the pump pressurizes the line and each nozzle releases mist that knocks down flies, mosquitoes, gnats and other flying insects. Because it runs on a timer, it keeps protecting your horses even when no one is there to spray by hand.
Who makes Pro-Tech misting systems and where are they located?
They are made by Pro-Tech Livestock Corporation, a locally owned company that has been in business since 1989. The company operates out of Pinehurst and Tomball, Texas, with a mailing address of P.O. Box 1450, Tomball, TX 77377. You can reach them at 800-776-5005 or 281-259-0600.
What are the differences between the SS 35, SS 50 and SS 100 models?
The SS 35 has a 1/4 h.p. motor with a 50-gallon-per-hour brass vane pump and 1/4" feed tubing, supporting up to 25 nozzles. The SS 50, their most popular model, uses a 1/3 h.p. motor with a 100-gallon-per-hour pump for up to 50 nozzles. The SS 100 has a 1/2 h.p. motor, a 125-gallon-per-hour pump and larger 3/8" feed tubing to run up to 100 nozzles. All three carry a two-year warranty.
How many nozzles do I need for my barn?
Pro-Tech recommends roughly one misting nozzle for each approximate 12'x12' stall, plus a few extra for the aisles, doorways, and grooming and wash areas. Each nozzle controls approximately 1,000 to 1,500 cubic feet of airspace. Counting your stalls and common areas gives you a good starting nozzle total to match to the right system size.
How much insecticide does the system use?
Each nozzle emits approximately 1.1 ounce per minute at 160 p.s.i. The average customer sprays about four minutes total per day across the timed cycles. That works out to roughly one gallon of solution per nozzle per month.
How often will I need to refill the reservoir?
It depends on your nozzle count and reservoir size. As an example, a 15-nozzle system feeding from a 30-gallon reservoir typically needs refilling about every two months, since usage runs around one gallon per nozzle per month. Larger reservoirs and fewer nozzles stretch the interval; more nozzles shorten it.
What insecticide does Pro-Tech use, and is it safe around animals?
Their signature product is Py-Tech, a low-odor insecticide built on pyrethrum derived from a specific member of the chrysanthemum family plus an extract of the sassafras root, combined with an emulsion system and deionized water. It has low toxicity to mammals and contains no inexpensive petroleum distillate fillers. It is made from flowers and accepted by the EPA, making it well suited to use around horses and livestock.
Does Pro-Tech offer an organic or botanical fly spray?
Yes. EcoSMART Horse Fly Spray is an organic, ready-to-use spray made with botanical plant oils. It delivers quick knockdown, kills on contact and repels stable flies, horse flies, deer flies, face flies, house flies, horn flies, mosquitoes and gnats. It has a fresh botanical fragrance, is safe around people and animals, and does not cause skin irritation.
What is Neutra-Scent and how does it work?
Neutra-Scent is Pro-Tech's odor neutralizer that actually destroys unpleasant odors rather than simply masking them. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and contains no acid or caustic materials. It comes as a concentrate where a half-gallon makes up to 60 gallons, and it is available in multiple scent varieties.
Can I install the system myself, or do I need a professional?
Both options exist. Pro-Tech provides instructions so customers can self-install their systems, and qualified representatives in many states also offer professional installation and maintenance services. The choice depends on your comfort level and the size of the job.
Where can Pro-Tech systems be installed besides horse barns?
The systems work equally well in enclosed or open buildings and are used in equine facilities, cattle and swine housing, kennels, poultry houses, veterinary clinics and zoological facilities. On the commercial side they serve trash collection facilities, apartments, grocery stores, hospitals, restaurants, sewage treatment plants and storage areas. They also provide automatic insect control for residential patio, pool and backyard areas.
What maintenance does the system require?
Maintenance is straightforward. Pro-Tech suggests cleaning the suction filter with water before each refill, replacing nozzle tips as needed, and cleaning the reservoir before spring refills. In hard freezing areas you should winterize the system, which takes roughly 30 minutes once a year.
How do I protect the system from freezing in winter?
In areas with hard freezes you should winterize the system to prevent damage from frozen solution in the lines and pump. Pro-Tech notes this winterizing process takes about 30 minutes annually. They also recommend cleaning the reservoir before you refill it again in the spring.
What does the warranty cover, and are there conditions?
Models SS 35, SS 50 and SS 100 all carry a two-year warranty. The warranty requires that you use only solutions sold by Pro-Tech in the system. Using non-approved solutions can void the coverage, so the company's own Py-Tech and other formulas are the intended fills.
What pests do these systems and solutions control?
The systems and Pro-Tech's solutions target flies, mosquitoes, gnats and other flying insects. The EcoSMART organic spray specifically lists stable flies, horse flies, deer flies, face flies, house flies, horn flies, mosquitoes and gnats. The Neutra-Scent product separately addresses unpleasant odors common in barns and animal facilities.
