Black Flag 190107 Electric Insect Fogger for Killing and Repelling Mosquitoes, Flies, and Flying Insects Outdoors, Yellow & Black

It is not something I would suggest. Because alcohol is flammable, the tip becomes extremely hot. It appears that a one gallon pressure/garden sprayer would be more appealing to you. Changing the tip of the nozzle allows you to mix and spray liquids in a fine mist or stream. I use these to spray everything from insecticides to weed killers around my house. I hope this has been of assistance.

Any insecticide can be used, but when switching brands, make sure the tank is thoroughly cleaned before using another brand. Also, make sure the insecticide you're using won't harm animals or birds.br>

They're available at a hardware store, Home and Garden, and on Amazon, among other places.

Because this is a thermal fogger, heat is used to vaporize the insecticide liquid, which is then sprayed out of the fogger in the form of a fog. Although propane foggers are the most common type of thermal fogger, Black Flag has created one that works with electricity because it gives the fogger more portability because you can just stick a propane cylinder in the back and carry it around. This is a thermal fogger, not an ULV fogger, so don't confuse it with ULV foggers that also use electricity. br>Partsbr>At first glance, the Black Flag 190107 electric insect fogger resembles propane foggers, particularly the Burgess 1443 fogger, but this device has an electric cord instead of a mounting hole for a propane cylinder on the back of the fogger. The heat barrel assembly in the fogger is heated by electricity. The fogger's electric cord must be plugged into a regular electrical outlet; however, if you have a larger area to fog, you will need to use an outdoor extension cord.br>Because the fogger's body is made of plastic, it is fairly light and will not cause any problems while fogging some larger areas. As with most thermal foggers, the top of the body has a handle. The insecticide is pumped from the liquid container trough to the heat barrel assembly, where it is vaporized and released trough the nozzle at the end of the heat barrel when the fogging trigger is pressed. On the fogger's handle, there's also a trigger lock button that locks the fogging trigger so you don't accidentally press it while using it. The auto ignite button on this electric insect fogger can be used to light a spark in the heat barrel assembly. br>The fogger comes with a 40-ounce (1. Large insecticide container (18 liters). When compared to the Black Flag propane fogger, which has a smaller container, this is a fairly large container. When fully loaded with insecticide, you can fog a reasonable area until you need to refill the insecticide liquid. Simply unscrew the container from the fogger's body, fill it with insecticide, and replace it. Plastic has also been used to construct the container. br>Foggingbr>With the Black Flag 190107 insect fogger, the fogging process is similar to that of propane foggers. To generate a fog, simply press the fogging trigger once every few seconds. As with other thermal foggers, you must let it warm up for a few minutes before using it to ensure that it produces a large, thick fog, which is the most effective way to combat a mosquito infestation. However, you must wait a little longer between fogging trigger presses with this mosquito fogger to allow the barrel to warm up again after the fog has been released. This means that you'll have to wait about 15 minutes. 5 seconds or longer, resulting in slightly longer fogging sessions than with a propane fogger, especially if you need to fog a large area. br>The fogger is only meant to be used outside. It creates a thick, white fog cone that lasts for about 15 minutes. The odor of the fog is determined by the insecticide used in the fogger, which can range from 10 feet to 3 meters in length. br>Another thing we can recommend is that you plug in this fogger with an appropriate extension cord designed for outdoor use, especially if you are fogging in the late afternoons or early mornings when the grass may be wet, causing electric damage to the fogger and possibly harming the person operating it.
