re: Do mosquito foggers work?

Permethrin and bifenthrin are both synthetic pyrethroids of pyrethrin.

Pyrethrin is the natural extract of the Chrysanthemum family of flowers. It has fast knockdown properties. Good for flies because it gets them before they can haul arse. My pyrethrin will knock a horse fly out of the air.

Talstar ( bifenthrin ) and Permethrin10% lend longevity to your mix solution.

Pyrethrin degrades in a few hours.

That’s why we use both pyrethrin and Talstar. I don’t touch permethrin. I don’t like it because it’s nasty. Talstar is more pleasant to use.


On the fogger.

Who ever gets one I guarantee you will enjoy it. You can put a 45degree louver on the nozzle to do soffits and trees.

It’s fun when the termites swarm. You knock them down by the millions and the chickens love eating them the next day.

We have ran ours on a wooded “ island “ surrounded by marsh and only five hundred yards from the beach of the GOM. Lots of bugs.

Nothing where we fogged in the lower trees. Nothing.

Everything I have is Stihl. Chain saw, blower, weed eater. Can’t go wrong .
