I just bought a fogger and some refill from AmericanVetSupply. I'll let you know how it works on our mosquito's, wasps and spiders.


take care,

I have been using a Burgess propane fogger for three years now. It is strictly for short term mosquito control. If you can find a perfect windless moment it works pretty good for killing the active ones but of course only kills what it touches. The amount of poison you can breathe in from a can of say Black Flag ready mix is very low but should still be avoided when possible. Also be aware that the fog coming out of the nozzle is very hot! It is quite easy to kill bushes, hedges and flowers if they are too close to the nozzle, try to stay 3 feet away. Just FYI, I used beneficial nematodes last year in my yard and flower beds and experienced lower numbers of fleas and mosquitos. I don't know if this was coincidental or not, maybe I can tell you next year.

It might sound funny, but I call my buddy who I now refer to as "The Mosquito Nazi"

He started out small, kind of like a guy trying crack for the first time, and bought a small handheld unit. But in short time, that didn't give him the mosquito killing fix that he needed, so he moved up to a bigger and better unit. He's now a full blown junkie having spent a ton of money on this thing. He did manage to almost shut down a major highway due to the white cloud floating over it. This also required an explaination to the city FD that there really wasn't a fire.

It's one helluva skeeter killer though.

well in amongst all the rain I've been seeing I have fogged a few times with the new chemical. There doesn't seem to be a difference with new chemical vs. old.
It is a temporary solution and the best results are still seen when fogging in the morning and evening.
hey gitchesum is the mosquito nazi a hired gun yet?!?!?!?

Well, I got my fogger (finally).


I haven' had much of an opportunity to kill me some bugs...the weather has been too cold. But it's starting to warm up

I know that these foggers aren't going to eliminate all bug problems. ButI figure killing the bugs you have, is better than attracting the bugs you don't have

happy hunting,
