What Is a Mosquito Fogger and How Does It Work?

A mosquito fogger disperses a fine mist to treat foliage, lawn edges, hedges, and shaded areas where mosquitoes rest. By coating these surfaces, you disrupt breeding and daytime harborage zones, reducing bites around patios, pools, and event spaces. See all Mosquito Foggers.

Why Choose a Backpack Fogger?

Coverage + Power: Backpack foggers move more air and deliver mist farther than small handhelds, making them ideal for yards, acreages, and light commercial work. They help you finish faster, reach tall hedges, and cover uneven terrain. Explore the Backpack Foggers collection.

ULV Foggers vs. Backpack Foggers: Key Differences

ULV Foggers create ultra‑fine droplets for precise indoor or enclosed‑area applications and targeted outdoor use when you want tighter particle control. Browse ULV Foggers.

Backpack Foggers excel outdoors for larger square footage, deeper canopy penetration, and quick turnaround. If your priority is yard coverage and hedge penetration, backpack units are your go‑to.

How to Use a Fogger Effectively (Pro Tips)

  • Treat habitat, not just air: Direct mist into hedges, undersides of leaves, fence lines, and shaded areas where mosquitoes rest. 
  • Right timing: Early morning or late afternoon when winds are calm and mosquitoes are less active in the air but resting on foliage. 
  • Slow, even passes: Keep a steady walking pace and overlap slightly for uniform coverage. 
  • Adjust droplet size: Use finer droplets for leaf surfaces and denser plantings; coarser for open lawn edges. 
  • Repeat as needed: Re‑apply after heavy rain or during peak mosquito season for consistent protection.

Safety & Best Practices 

  • PPE: Wear eye protection, gloves, long sleeves, and a respirator if product labeling recommends it. 
  • Label‑first: Always follow the chemical label for mix rates, re‑entry intervals, and target pests. 
  • Pets & people: Keep bystanders and animals away during application; allow drying per label guidance. 
  • Weather checks: Avoid windy conditions and imminent rain for best results and reduced drift.
  • Storage & maintenance: Rinse tanks after use, run clean water through lines, and store in a dry place.

Quick FAQ

How often should I fog? During peak season, many users treat every 2–4 weeks, or after heavy rainfall. Frequency depends on pressure, weather, and property size.
