The present invention is directed to a system and method for safely and for efficient controlling adult populations of flying pests. A self-contained reservoir system for automated misting of pesticides (as opposed to merely spraying) is disclosed which can be operated in remote location without the availability of line power or pressurized water. The present automated spraying system comprises a secure controller unit with locking features, and a plurality of dispersing elements attached to the unit. Enclosed within the weatherproof and secure enclosure of the unit is a controller, pump, pesticide reservoir and power source for delivering controlled amounts of a pesticide mixture to the dispersing elements. The pump is capable of producing pressures sufficient for producing a mist from the dispersing elements. The pesticide reservoir holds pre-measured and premixed pesticide that can be used for direct treatment of an area. A misting schedule is entered into the controller, or timer. At the predetermined misting times, the controller completes the circuit between the battery and pump, thereby energizing the pump and causing the pesticide mixture to be pumped into the dispersing elements. The unit may be fitted with safety and efficiency components that automatically discontinue the misting cycles if someone is present in the area, weather conditions are not optimal, a fault is detected or pest activity is not favorable for a treatment.
