Preventing Allergens and Flying Pests with Mars Environmental Separation Solutions

Admin on March 14, 2025

As spring arrives, so do the usual suspects: rising temperatures, high pollen counts, and—you guessed it—flying pests. For commercial facilities, this seasonal shift can bring more than just discomfort. From compromised indoor air quality (IAQ) to regulatory concerns in foodservice and healthcare settings, environmental intrusions like allergens and flying insects are costly and disruptive.

This is where Mars Air Curtains come in. Designed for optimal environmental separation, Mars Air systems act as invisible barriers at entry points, offering critical protection against pollen, contaminants, and flying pests—all while supporting energy efficiency and comfort.

Environmental Separation: Your First Line of Defense

Spring and summer are peak seasons for allergen exposure and insect activity. When doors are frequently opened—whether for customers, deliveries, or staff movement—it creates a perfect opportunity for flying pests and pollen to infiltrate indoor environments.

Mars Air Curtains are engineered to create a consistent, high-velocity stream of air that forms a protective seal across doorways. This invisible barrier stops unwanted outdoor elements from entering without obstructing visibility or movement. For facilities sensitive to IAQ, such as restaurants, schools, grocery stores, and medical buildings, air curtains offer a non-chemical, maintenance-friendly solution for repelling allergens and flying pests.

Top Mars Air Curtain Models for Environmental Control

Not all air curtains are built the same—and when it comes to repelling airborne allergens and insects, choosing the right model is key. Mars Air offers a range of systems designed specifically for high-traffic or environmentally sensitive areas:

  • Series 2 (Low Profile 2): Ideal for customer-facing entrances and areas where aesthetics matter, this model delivers powerful performance in a compact, streamlined design.
  • Series 3 (Standard Duty): Perfect for commercial buildings with moderate to high door usage, it provides a reliable environmental shield while operating quietly.
  • Series 4 (Industrial Strength): Built for heavy-duty environments such as warehouses, loading docks, and food processing facilities. It’s particularly effective at stopping large volumes of flying pests and debris from entering high-risk zones.

Each Mars Air Curtain can be equipped with optional filters, heaters, or antimicrobial treatments to further enhance their performance, depending on your industry needs.

Spring is the Time to Prevent Flying Pests

Why now? Because spring and early summer bring with them a significant uptick in pollen, spores, and flying insects—all of which can compromise your building’s environment and increase the burden on HVAC systems. Installing or upgrading your Mars Air Curtain before this seasonal spike helps you stay ahead of problems before they escalate.

For foodservice operations, an influx of flying pests can mean health code violations and bad customer experiences. For office buildings or healthcare facilities, poor air quality and high allergen counts can affect productivity and wellbeing. Mars Air Curtains help prevent those outcomes by keeping contaminants and pests where they belong—outside.

Defend Your Space from Flying Pests and Allergens

Investing in Mars Air Curtains isn’t just about comfort—it’s about long-term protection, regulatory compliance, and brand reputation. With tailored solutions for every facility type, Mars Air makes it easy to defend against flying pests, improve IAQ, and minimize the entry of allergens and pathogens during peak season.
