Do you fumigate your shop?

[DCarr2]

I bought a fogger a couple years ago and use blackflag fogging juice from HD...

I fog my 1700 sq ft pole barn till I can see 2' in front of me... takes care of EVERYTHING with legs.

I do it once a month

 

[bgarrett]

what are you trying to kill?

 

[58Yeoman]

I've never used my fogger indoors, but I DO use it outside in the shrubs to kill biting insects. I've used those fogger cans in my shop and three sheds on occasion.

The black flag fogger says not to use indoors? Is this the same product you use?

I assume they don't want you to use it inside a house, but probably not a big deal for a pole barn that you can easily air out. Do you close the doors and let it fumigate, and then open the doors and air it out?

I’ve dusted cracks and sometimes spray, just got some 38% permithrin, but never fogged.

 

[TMcCay]

I've never fogged mine. However I do alternate between Tempo and Demon twice a year in mine.

I live an hour east of you and I never have had a need to fumigate my buildings.

Thats the stuff! We have some really scary looking spiders out here... and spiders and me dont get along...

I can honestly say there are next to no bugs in my shop

I do it at night close all the doors fumigate and let it sit til morning... then go out and sweep up all the bodies.

I do the house about once a year, really takes care of the flea issues with 3 dogs and a cat. (they get put into the shop)

Perfect timing on this thread. I just got attacked by a cricket the size of a honda civic this morning and I've been contemplating revenge. Fogger it is.

 

[Bretny]

You guys will spread poison for every bug and insect?

 

[OccupantRJ]

If I killed all the bugs, my shop lizard would not have substinence. I have a dusk to dawn light on the front apex of my shop and it tends to draw bugs, which I assume he is eating.

 

[brownbagg]

with all the tree roaches, lizards, cricket, spider, I would have to do it daily. I just let the armidillas and snakes eat them. now mice and rats, I dont like

the burgess fogger from walmart works great, just be sure to ONLY use black flag fogging juice. I tried a few other juices and it clogged the fogger to the point they no longer work.

1 can of BF juice will fit in the resivior.. also, let it 'warm up' for 2-3 minutes prior to the death march...

you can light it with a bic lighter, however I found lighting a propane torch with a bic, then using the torch to light the fogger works way better.

The method I use on the house:

I spread table salt on all carpets the day before... then, typically before I leave for work in the AM, I close all the windows, and start in the basement... I fog the entire house til you cant see 3' in front of you... when I come home from work, the fog is gone... and I open windows and air it out then vac the whole house.

this will erradicate ALL fleas, flys ,spiders ect.

then I let the pets back in to the house.

 

[bob15]

Yes i do. It is call open the 10 x 11' door and work in it with the door open.

OP, spiders are your friend, they eat the other bugs......

 

[dumper]

Yes, the day after all you can eat tacos

I knew this was coming, sooner or later. Hahahaa. Chinese Buffet works great too, but you've got to be careful...

 

[slip knot]

The Chinese buffet can quickly change from fumigating to spraying.
