Flea and Tick Tips

Sprays and Foggers

Sprays:
These are insecticides that can be used indoors or outdoors and that treat the environment. Before using sprays make sure they will only be toxic to fleas. Carefully follow the directions printed in the spray can.

Foggers (or bombs):
These are similar to sprays but are only for indoor use. A fogger is designed for a single use and is discarded after the insecticide has been expelled. Usually, a fogger is placed in the center of the room to be fumigated. A special nozzle is depressed and begins to release a "fog" of insecticide. Any humans and animals should immediately leave the area. Following the times specified on the package, the room should be ventilated as instructed on the package.

Both foggers and sprays will probably need to be used more than once to fully control the insect infestation. Whenever using sprays and foggers, remember to carefully read and follow the package instructions before using the product.
