I would like to use one of these for oxalic acid to treat my bees. Have you heard of this?
-
Just wondering if a propane mix would work? Most shops here sell propane/ butane mix. Thanks.

Have you ever had any issues with using the larger propane tank instead of the suggested 14.1?

How to buy in Thailand

15 seconds of fog and 3:46 of looking at what may as well have been a still photo.
-
if the black flag does not work for you ie: not effective, you could hit up a do it yourself pest control website or store if there is one in your area...you can buy the same fogger chemicals the PC companies use..
-
use a large masson jar instead of res provided.
-
I wonder if you could use Diesel instead of Black Flag insecticide?
-
I tried this fogger last year and like the fogger itself but the Black Flag insecticide is not very effective. I am going to try a combination of permethrin and pyrethrin with kerosene instead of paying $10 for Black Flag that does not appear to work.
-
Will it keep the flies away?
-
Walmart sell the fogged and insecticide
-
Respirator mask should be recommended.
-
If you add a mixture of Hemp oil and Mineral Oil 3:1 It will calm routy neighbors and turn the bees and wasps into friendly pets.
-
Just substitute a standard I pint mason jar and you won't need as much pesticide.
-
I don't think thats safe to breath!

6/6/2014: I just purchased and used this Burgess fogger with Black Flag Mosquito fogging insecticide and I must say, THIS STUFF WORKS GREAT!
This year in Michigan we are having a larger than usual mosquito problem. I was fighting with them for about a week and stumbled on this option. I'm glad I did. Immediate gratification. The mosquitos are dead.
If this catches on I'm sure the EPA will declare mosquitos "endangered" and ban the possession or use of these units. -
Some states prohibit the sale of fogging insecticides, so save some time and order online. I was lucky as the first store I tried (Northern Tool) informed me.

you have a huge back yard i'm glad this fogger is very effective thanks for the vid.

I am not sure how effective it will be against hornets and yellow jackets
The Burgess Outdoor Propane Insect Fogger is a great way to help you regain some of your outdoor living space. There are a variety of options, but I am not a big fan of bug sprays, Citronella candles are barely effective, and devices like the Mosquito Magnet are non-toxic but very expensive. My new favorite method is to use the Burgess Fogger. My Thoughts- - It is effective, especially if used every few days as a systemic approach to reducing the entire mosquito population. You may still see an occasional mosquito, but their population seems to be cut by about 90%. - There is a slight smell - not really an odor, but more like the smell of burning oil (think of an oil lamp) - The propane tanks are very inexpensive - The Black Flag solution is required, and it is tough to find. I have looked for it at Lowes, Target, Walmart, and a local hardware store without nay luck. I have come to expect that the only place I will be able to buy it is on Amazon. - The 40oz tank is too big. This really is my biggest complaint. A 32oz bottle of Black Flag will only 80% fill the bottle, but the pump on the Burgess unit essentially needs it to be about 50% full so that the pump will reach the solution. This is unfortunate, because it means that at about 50% you will need additional solution. - Having said that - the Burgess fogger is very economical in its use of Black Flag solution. I am able to cover an acre or so with only about 4-5oz per application. - Seems to work on all of the annoying bugs - Mosquitos, flies, and gnats. However, it seems to not have any effect of bees, butterflies, and lightning bugs. How awesome is that? - I have asked my neighbors if they mind if I fog their yards too. They are more than happy to have me reduce their mosquitos, and for me it creates an even larger buffer between and the bugs. - So far, I have fogged a variety of plants... including some Hydrangeas, decorative Plum trees, Crab Apples, and a variety of other plants without damaging the plants. - I never leave the Black Flag solution in the Burgess Fogger - the problem is that every time I pour the solution out of the reservoir into the Black Fog bottles I seem to always spill or waste some of the solution. - Make sure that you allow the fogger warm up for a few minutes before using - you will know that it is ready when the fogger stops spitting fluid and everything comes out as fog. As you know - Mosquitoes bites can cause a wide variety of ailments, such as - West Nile Virus, Malaria, Yellow Fever, Rift Valley Fever, and even encephalitis. Final Verdict- The Burgess Propane Fogger is a very effective at reducing the population of mosquitos, flies, and gnats. While it does require an insecticide, I still think it is a better option that risking the West Nile virus and other diseases spread by mosquitos. For our family it has become our number one option for making our backyard much more comfortable. 4 1/2 stars
