What type of mosquito fogger?

[MarkC]

Little Heidi on the forum swears by a Burgess fogger. They vaporize an insecticide into a fog and you treat the area near where you sit. The effects last 4 hours from what I have been reading. You can get an electric or propane powered fogger. Burgess makes both types they only cost $60. Target online carries the electric version. My main problem with the mosquito magnet was that it was not very effective and cost a lot of money to keep the propane filled. I just bought a fogger and will report back here my results when the mosquito season kicks off and I have a chance to give it a try.

ok on the burgess propane powered fogger, when the it is first heating mine hissed and spit till it got warmed up. I fogged twice already once the evening i got it than again the next morning. I haven't been able to be out long enough yet to decide if it made a difference or not. they tell you to not breath the fog, but that is almost impossible to do, a respirator might be in order. Basically just wanted to give some kind of update and let you all know I didn't forget about this thread.

Thanks for the update JJ! Much appreciated.


I may be giving some "reports" of my own as well. The mosquitos are awful this year...I've got to get something very soon. If I don't...I may get carried away by those little critters

thanks,

Ok after using the fogger several times, there seem to be quite a reduction in the number of mosquitos around. On the days that I fogged it did it first thing in the morning then again at dusk, making sure to get a good cloud under the bushes and deck area. I will be interesting to see if there is a increase in the effectiveness of the fog when I put new chemical in it, it was full when it was given to me so I don't know how old the chemical was/is and its shelf life.
To Be Continued....
