Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / May 2005Fogging at the camp site?
I was wondering if anyone here has or has used a propane fogger, insect control device, at the camp site? What are the costs of operation and how well does it work? It seems like it could be nice for some more rustic areas where black flies or deer flies can be kind of tough. Do state or federal camping areas allow you to pull a fogger out the basement to light up the woods? Thanks in advance, Jon > Do state or >federal camping areas allow you to pull a fogger out the basement to light >up the woods? I hope not.

Steve Leave the fogger in the basement and increase your garlic intake, it doesn't take much and you will be surprised on how effective it is. Plus garlic taste better than fogger solution.

Especially those down wind.  SignatureJon JPinOH >>I was wondering if anyone here has or has used a propane fogger, insect >> control device, at the camp site?

We just returned from the Land Between The Lakes in Kentucky and at our campground they drove by with the fogger wide open. Would shut it off when coming upon humans.

That said let's look at the reality check before the visa card bill gets increased . Foggers are of limited and special situational value. The standard Propane hand fogger of "Burgess" design =$29~55 cost. Propane tank-maybe several hours runtime at best =~$2.50~5.00 cost. Fog juice is controversial as to use the "Less lethal" Pytherin or the "Nerve Gas" truly COULD KILL HUMANS if misused overkill stuff. Both average costing of $ 7.00~45.00 a "bottle" size to price varies! The risk factors of a mischosen *DEADLY* commercial insect poison intended for professional restricted use are sobering. Certain * supposed to be restricted* industrial grade stuff found at flea markets if run thru that Burgess "Silent Spring Machine"....... May be a home run for Darwin. And still leave the blackflies laughing! /me shrugs-unka Chuck takes what he can get. Reasons further considered to costs/usefulness being also iffy. Then factor into it the near certain wrath of SOMONE either official or another camper and it looks dismal for fogging indeed. IF after all the above you consider still fogging do some research first. Plan your attack so you work backwards out of the breeze. Avoid breathing any fog! OR having anyone else even animals do so. Fog low to the ground for grass critters. Here at our campground the only things we use foggers for are wasp/hornet nests in otherwise inacessible places and similar indirect hit needed situations. Oren Beck www.campdownunder.com " Does anyone even mention Silent Spring anymore" > May be a home run for Darwin. And still leave the blackflies laughing! IIRC, there was a situation either here in Las Vegas, or California and on our local news, where a family set off about a dozen foggers, and left the house. The resultant explosion was massive.
