Fogging is a technique used in pest control to disperse pesticides or insecticides as a mist (or fog) in the air. It's often employed to target flying insects or pests present in the air or on surfaces. However, it's important to use fogging methods safely and responsibly.

Fogging involves using a machine called a fogger that converts liquid insecticides into a fine mist. This mist is released into the air, allowing it to reach areas where pests may hide. Fogging is commonly used in both indoor and outdoor settings. It's often used in large spaces, such as warehouses, greenhouses, and outdoor areas, but it can also be used indoors in homes, hotels, or commercial buildings. The type of insecticide used in fogging can vary depending on the target pests. Some fogging solutions are designed to target mosquitoes, while others may focus on flying insects like flies or moths. Fogging requires careful planning and execution. Safety precautions are crucial as the mist can pose health risks to humans and pets if not used properly. Protective gear, such as masks and goggles, should be worn during application. Occupants should vacate the area being fogged and return only after the recommended re-entry time.
