Ground Fogging (Adulticiding)

When we ground fog or adulticide, we bring our vehicles into a specified area and drive through the streets emitting a spray / fog in order to kill adult mosquitoes. The effectiveness of the fogging may last for up to an hour depending on the environmental conditions and the number of adults present. 

 

Our fog will only kill mosquitoes that are flying.  If they are residing in your lawns, or shrubbery, our fog will not reach them.  We suggest you use a barrier spray to protect your property in those cases.  Please review the information on our Personal Protection page for more information.

 

We use ULV (ultralow volume) chemicals.  That means the fog comes out in micron droplets.  Approximately one 1 ounce shot glass of adulticiding product will treat one acre sized area.  This means that the fog that our calibrated machines emit comes out between 15 to 25 diameter micron dropplets.

Necessary Conditions

​

  • Number of mosquitoes identified. We evaluate this by the number of mosquitoes found when we trap in an area and the number of phone calls we get from an area.   We require a minimum of 25 adult mosquitoes in a trap in order to schedule ground fogging (adulticiding).   

​

  • The optimum temperature for fogging is above 54 degrees. â€‹

​

  • We cannot fog if the temperature is below because the product does not work  and the mosquitoes are not as active.

 

  • We can only fog if the wind speed is below eight miles per hour.​

​

  • We usually fog in the early morning or late evening.  The environment is most optimal then.
