Can over the counter foggers kill bed bugs and fleas?

Answer 1

Some of the adults, but I would not rely on one for either of these pests.

A fogger will kill some of the adults, but a fogger alone cannot solve a flea problem. the problem with fog is it has to be very highly concentrated to kill and there is no residual killing effect. Fleas are also deepo in plush surfaces and carpets. It's a labor intensive job and you have to be very thorough-this is something very difficult for a novice to do. Foggers are also outrageously expensive and in many cases-flammable. If you are a determined do it yourselfer use Precor 2000 aerosol (about 1 can per room, give or take) and start by treating all carpeted surfaces and any plush furniture especially under cushions and check your pets and resting areas if they stay inside. Do one room at a time so smell is not overpowering, frequent vacumming afterwards will stimulate new fleas to emerge, contact treated surfaces and die out. In about 2 weeks, problem should be gone. Yards may need done too if you have an animal that travels between indoors and outdoors

Generally no, foggers are not effective against bed bugs. The reason is because bed bugs hide in cracks and crevices all around a room and foggers don't penetrate all of them.Bed bug bites are often discovered as the first sign of a bed bug infestation, the raised red lumps often do not show up until 24–48 hours after being bitten. Bed bugs don’t live on the bed or in the mattress. They hide in a variety of places around a room generally no further than 15 feet from the place where a human spends a prolonged amount of time, be it a bed, couch, doctor’s waiting room, bus seat or movie theater seat. The bed bug detects the co2 released by a human , they follow it’s lure, feast for 5 to 10 minutes and then retreat to they’re place of hiding. People sometimes assume bedbugs are invisible or hard to see but a full grown bedbug is as big as an apple seed and very easy to spot with the naked eye if you are familiar with their hiding places and are able to scout them out. Some places where bed bugs tend to hide are behind baseboards, under switch plates, behind socket covers, behind picture frames, on the underside of furnishings, in folds of clothing. Depending on the severity of the infestation and whether or not other bugs have taken all the “good spots” first, a bed bug can be virtually anywhere in the room where it can slip into a crack or crevice and feel unexposed.
