Yes and no. Insect foggers or bug bombs as some people call them serve the purpose of releasing a "fog" of contact killing pesticide into the air with the hopes that it will contact bugs in areas that you couldn't get to while just spraying.
Foggers, while initially effective, often times push roaches into deeper hiding where the fog will not reach, causing roaches to re-infest an area a few weeks down the line. They usually won't affect insect eggs either, making the problem tough to get rid of by just using the bug bombs.
Insect foggers are also dangerous is misused. They can be extremely flammable and explosive and if not set off correctly it will combust.
The best way to use a fogger is as a tool in an overall program. Professionals will use a fogger to flush out the roaches and get them running. Before they set the bug bomb off they will put down a residual product around the perimeter and in cracks and crevices. Then the roaches or insect will run across the residual product and die.
One good application for a fogger is if you are dealing with large numbers of flying insects. A good fog can knock that problem down fairly quickly.
Thanks for sharing this! I was thinking about getting some bug bombs to take care of a pest control problem I have, if they end up not working I will have to hire a pest control in Edmonton to do the job.
ReplyDeleteI would generally steer clear of any bug bombs and would only use a fogging machine for very specific treatments. As mentioned, these can in fact push the insect into the walls.
ReplyDeleteI use a company that doesn't use foggers. They actually just do the entrances like doors and windows. fumigation can sometimes be harmful.

Many people in our area of brooklyn new york try to use bug bombs for bed bugs. As with many other insects what this does is it creates the facade that the insects are gone. What really happens is the bug bomb works almost as a repellent and drives the bugs deeper into the walls. If you live in a building you can cause a building wide infestation by carelessly setting off bombs. Read more info on our bed bug extermination blog

The first car I ever bought came with a spider infestation. When one fell on my face while driving, I bombed the car. It worked just as well as you said it would. The spiders were gone for a while, but they came back. The fog must have not killed their eggs.

It makes sense to me that bug bombs can be pretty dangerous if not used correctly. If I remember right, one of my neighbors is dealing with a pretty serious bug problem in their home, and they're considering bug bombing it. I'm sure they'll end up calling someone in to take care of it for them. Hopefully it works out for them and they won't have to deal with so many bugs in their home.

That is a good thing to know that do it yourself bug bomb or foggers do not always work. It is better to get professional pest control services to take care of things than try and do it yourself. That is because sometimes the pests hide deeper where the fog cannot reach. That is why it is better to go with a professional company instead.
