Mosquitoes and More consults in the middle east!
Posted by admin on Dec 24, 2008
In early november Jim Jackson President of Mistaway Systems Inc. Contacted me about consulting a startup company Ecovar in the middle east, on some large installations. I was advised I would travel to Dubai and Beirut lebanon. Against what the state department website said and my better judgment I accepted. I figured hey it would be an adventure right!? Boy what an experience it was so the flights were booked and the day after we got back from Barbados I was on my way to Dubai. After about 40 hours on planes every flight I had was either delayed or missed due to problems. I arrived in glorious dubai finally I could install some misting systems. Below is a shot of just one of the terminals at the airport, also are some shots of my middle eastern counterparts, and some places we did installations at while in dubai. The hospitality in the middle east is amazing everyone I met was really nice. I can’t thank ecovar enough for the oportunity to show them more about the systems and showing me the middle east and all it has to offer.
No job too far! Mosquitoes and more Installs in Barbados, WI

In Late October 2008 Steve Scantlebury with West Coast Construction contacted us about doing a 45,000 sq foot home located right on the shores of one of the most highly sought after islands in the caribbean - Barbados! Mike and I were thrilled to have the opportunity to quote Steve a price for such a task . After reviewing the competition, price and our version of a mosquito system, he was most impressed with us and awarded us the job. So on December 4th we were flown to Barbados, provided with lodging at a local resort and started the installation. We were assigned three laborers that kind of spoke English, well they call it English anyway, and all the necessary tools and extra equipmen, courtesy of West Coast. 200 nozzles later and three 12 hour days ,we were finished. Unlike any other installation in the States ,we had to run tubing through areas under ground 400′ to a far away locations, I physically got inside actual manholes as we sucked jet line through the chases to pull the line through. Pictured below is Vic the project manager , a jolly-old-chap originally from the U.K. that was most fun to chat with and a pleasure to get to know, a couple of other helpers and a shot of the systems located underground in the equipment room.
