Working Outdoors? You Need Industrial-Grade Bug Spray

Outdoor maintenance crews lose hours every summer to mosquitoes, gnats, and biting flies. We tested a commercial-grade repellent program with a regional grounds team to see how much of that time could be reclaimed.

Working Outdoors? You Need Industrial-Grade Bug Spray

The Challenge

What we walked into

Consumer aerosols wore off within an hour and left workers re-applying constantly between mowing passes. Crews were quitting routes early on humid days, and supervisors were fielding complaints about bites breaking the skin even through long sleeves.

The Solution

How Luften approached it

Luften deployed a DEET-free industrial repellent paired with treated uniform sprays at the start of each shift. Application stations were placed at every truck, and crews were trained on a 30-second pre-route routine that covered exposed skin, collars, and cuffs.

The Results

What changed

Within four weeks, route completion times were back to baseline and bite-related complaints dropped to zero. The team now uses 40% less product overall because reapplication during the day was eliminated.
