What is the difference between a thermal fogger and a cold fogger?

What is the difference between a thermal fogger and a cold fogger?

The cold fogger is just the opposite of the thermal fogger. Also called ULV (ultra-low volume) foggers, they do not use heat to vaporize the fogging liquid but instead use the method of cold spraying, which in the majority of the cases uses the air pressure to spray the liquid out in the small particles.

What chemicals can be used in a thermal fogger?

A professional thermal fogger designed for applying water and oil based solutions with droplet sizes between 5-30 microns. A professional insecticide that contains 1% pyrethrins and 5% PBO providing fast, effective control of even the toughest insect infestation.

What are thermal foggers used for?

Thermal fogging turns cleaning solutions into heated fog that can get in between crevices. The disinfecting fog permeates the whole structure. It cleans the air and surfaces. When done right, thermal fogging eliminates many of the pathogens found in an area.

Is thermal fogging safe?

Portable thermal fogging machines are used outdoors by pest control companies to kill mosquitoes and other outdoor pests. Due to the gas or propane needed to operate them, they pose a fire hazard and are NOT recommended for indoor use.

Does thermal fogging leave a residue?

Even though they don’t provide residual they are quite effective when installed correctly. Thermal foggers can also cover a much larger area than traditional “wet” applications so in theory you can treat a larger area with less chemical and in far less time.

How do you make thermal fogging liquid?

Put a 1/4-pound of garlic in a blender with one quart of water and blend until it is a smooth liquid consistency. Place a piece of cheesecloth over the top of a mason jar and slowly pour the mixture through it to strain out the bits of garlic. Pour the garlic juice into the fogger tank and use immediately.

Which chemical is used in fogging machine?

NCORE -1Ltr (Deltamethrin 1.25 % ULV) Chemical For Thermal Fogging Machine

What is the particle size when ULV fogging?

20 microns
Cold foggers (such as the Sterimax ULV Fogger) produce a mist with micron sizes of at least 20 microns. A 20 micron particle in still air has a “settle velocity” of about 43 metres per hour so from a height of 8 feet the settle time is 3.5 minutes – and is much, much shorter for larger droplets.

What is a thermal fogger?

Thermal foggers use heat to vaporise a fogging solution and spray it out in form of a fog. Thermal foggers are equipped with a heat barrel that gets preheated to high temperatures using either a propane gas or electricity depending on the type of a fogger.

What are the different types of fogging machines?

There are two types of fogging machines or foggers used in the pest control industry – thermal foggers and cold foggers (ULV). Thermal foggers use heat in the fogging process. Thermal foggers use heat to vaporise a fogging solution and spray it out in form of a fog.

How do I order a fogger outside of Australia?

Do I need an industrial fogger?

If you have mosquitoes or other annoying insects requiring control then this industrial fogger is a must. It can function as either either a thermal or ULV mist type fogger. As a thermal fogger its pulse jet engine generates huge volumes of dense, thick fog which can penetrate deep into tree foliage achieving immediate, targeted impact.
