Insecticide For Fogging Machine

One of the most underrated benefits of using the Fogger insect fogger is the ability to mix it with insecticides. While it works great by itself, there is some effectiveness that can be boosted when combining this product with other chemicals. This article discusses the best ways for making your Fogger work even better for exterminating insects. It may seem like overkill to carry a different product in an already full pesticide slot, but these extra products can make your most important insecticides even more powerful and effective.

Insecticide For Fogging Machine

A ULV Fogger (also known as ULV cold fogger) is a piece of equipment designed to disperse pesticide chemicals in the air as a mist or fog. It is popularly used in pest control situations to control problem pests like mosquitoes, flies, bed bugs and other insects.

A ULV Fogger treats an entire space rather than a specific surface like a spray or dust. The mist they create expands and flows throughout the space being treated and anywhere air can go, the fog can go. This allows treatment in areas that would be hard to access directly.

ULV Foggers vary in size and form, from stationary units to backpack style and even small handheld units. To use most ULV foggers, fill the tank with a premixed pesticide solution and aim the spray nozzle at the area you wish to disperse the product into. If you are unable to find the information you need below, please contact us, we’re here to help.

What Is ULV?

ULV stands for Ultra Low Volume and refers to the technology where spray droplets are released into the air at low pressures, creating a fine cold fog or mist. Unlike a thermal fogger that uses heat to produce fog, ULV Foggers create fog through the use of motors that produce a high-powered, low-pressure air stream the pesticide is then introduced into.

Our Recommendation

For Indoor Applications

For fogging indoor spaces such as attics, crawl spaces, and rooms, we recommend the B&G Flex-A-Lite 2600 Fogger. It has a simple, no-frills design that is easy to use and maintain. Its smaller profile makes it easy to store between uses or for transportation between jobs.

We recommend using Stryker 100 for indoor fogging. This insecticide is ideal for fogging indoor spaces because once it dries, it loses effectiveness. It lacks a strong residual effect but is safe once it has completely evaporated.

For Outdoor Applications

If you wish to treat a large outdoor area such as a garden, lawn, or other exterior landscape, we recommend you use a backpack unit. Our favorite is the Tomahawk TMD14 Backpack Fogger for its large 3.5 gallon tank capacity and ability to disperse product material in as little as 30 minutes.

With this unit, we recommend using Flex 10-10 Insecticide. Flex 10-10, unlike Stryker 100, maintains a strong residual effect long after application, which is ideal for outdoor application.

Safety Equipment

No matter where you’re fogging, safety equipment is a must. Foggers are designed to treat whole areas of space, not just specific surfaces. They suspend droplets of harmful chemicals in the air for treating every corner and crevice. Full skin and eye protection, as well as a full respirator, are required. See our Protective Equipment page for more on safety equipment.

User Guide

Step 1: Put on Protective Gear

The first thing you should always do before working with any hazardous chemicals is put on protective gear. Again, when fogging, full skin, eye, and respiratory protection are highly recommended. Remember, all our chemicals have a section on the label detailing the minimum safety requirements for the product.

Step 2: Fill the Reservoir

The first step when using a fogger is to fill the reservoir with mixed pesticide solution. Always mix pesticides according to label instructions. With the B&G Flex-A-Lite unit, always mix BEFORE adding the product to the reservoir. Pesticides may be mixed directly into the reservoir of the Solo 451 unit. Only mix what you expect to use so there will not be any leftover pesticide solution. Many pesticide concentrate labels do not recommend storing mixed product between uses.

Step 3: Apply The ULV Fogger To Target Areas

Before turning on your ULV fogger, adjust the flow rate as low as possible. Note, the B&G Flex-A-Lite unit will begin fogging as soon as you turn it on. Turn on your fogger unit, either by starting it or flipping the power switch. Adjust the flow rate to your desired setting and direct the spray nozzle where you would like to disperse fog. Allow the fog to completely fill the space to be treated, moving the spray nozzle as needed to disperse fog throughout the space.

Inspection and Maintenance

It is always a good idea to briefly inspect all equipment before use. Begin with a visual inspection and then add a small amount of water to the reservoir and run the unit to ensure there are no leaks. On the Solo 451, remember this is a gas-powered unit so make sure to check the fuel level.

Step 1: Visual Inspection

Carefully look over the unit, checking for any obvious damage. Many components, such as tubing, may be replaced if damaged.

Step 2: Leak Check

Put a small amount of water in the reservoir. Turn the unit on and create some harmless mist. If you notice any puddles forming, you have a leak. Find the source and determine if the leak is from a loose connection or due to damaged components.

The insecticide for fogger is a pesticide that kills insects. It is used to kill mosquitoes and other insects that live in the water. The insecticide for fogger can be used in a variety of ways, including through a fogger or a sprayer.

This product is made from pyrethroid, which comes from chrysanthemum flowers and has been shown to have an effect on mosquitoes. It does not affect mammals or birds, but it does work on insects like mosquitoes and fleas.

The insecticide for fogger comes in two forms: as a liquid concentrate and as a powder. The liquid concentrate is mixed with water and then sprayed onto the surface where you want to kill the bugs; this makes it easy to use in any environment where there is standing water (such as ponds). The powder version can be used directly on plants or soil; however, this may take longer than spraying the area with the liquid form would take because you have to wait until each plant’s leaves dry before applying it again.
