Question 1

How do I prepare my home before fogging?

Accepted Answer

Remove all people and pets from the home, including fish tanks (cover and turn off the pump). Cover food-contact surfaces and remove exposed food. Turn off all ignition sources including pilot lights, fans, and HVAC systems. Close all windows and doors. Set the fogger on a newspaper-covered surface in the center of each room and activate before leaving.

Question 2

How long do I need to stay out of the house?

Accepted Answer

Stay out of the treated area for at least 2 hours after fogging. When you return, open all windows and doors and ventilate for at least 30 minutes before re-entry. The odor neutralizer formula clears faster than standard foggers, but thorough ventilation is still essential. Wait until the mist has fully settled and the odor has dissipated before allowing children and pets back in.

Question 3

Does it work on German cockroaches?

Accepted Answer

Foggers are less effective against German cockroaches than gel bait because roaches hide deep in cracks and crevices where the mist may not fully penetrate. For German roach infestations, use Maxforce FC Magnum gel bait as the primary treatment and a fogger as a supplemental knockdown. The combination of bait plus fogging is more effective than either alone.

Question 4

How many cans do I need for my home?

Accepted Answer

Each 2-oz can treats up to 2,000 cubic feet. A standard 10×12 room with 8-foot ceilings is approximately 960 cubic feet — one can per room. For a 2,000 sq ft Arizona home with open floor plans, 3–4 cans typically provide full coverage. The 6-pack gives you enough for a thorough whole-home treatment with cans to spare for the garage.

Question 5

Can I use it in my garage for scorpions?

Accepted Answer

Foggers have limited effectiveness against bark scorpions because scorpions are not highly susceptible to airborne insecticide mist — they need direct contact with a residual surface treatment. For garage scorpion control, a microencapsulated pyrethroid like BASF Cy-Kick CS applied to walls, floors, and entry points is far more effective. Use the fogger for roaches and spiders in the garage, not as a primary scorpion treatment.
