Q

Does FMC Residual Fogger product stain wood or unpainted sheet rock?
If I use this in a finished area of the house through a recessed lighting hole, will this product stain or seep through the plywood into the carpet above the joist or stain the unpainted sheetrock ceiling on the bottom of the joists?

A

The FMC Residual Fogger provides a mist with a mild odor that dries clear in the treated area. Be sure the area where you are using the fogger is at least 5 x 5 x 5 feet, and follow all precautions on the product label.

Q

Will FMC Residual Fogger kill Flea Eggs?
Not a whole lot of comments on this product yet. So I'm concerned that multiple applications would be necessary in a motel setting. Have a room that had a dog in it and its FULL of fleas. Also, will this product get rid of fleas/eggs on bed comforters too? Last product for other bugs (roaches) we bought from you was wonderful! Killed them all!

A

FMC Residual Fogger will not kill flea eggs and will only kill the fleas that are out in the open at the time you use it. It can take multiple applications to completely elminate fleas, but this is not the best product with which to do so. Nyguard Plus would be a better option as it also contai…

FMC Residual Fogger will not kill flea eggs and will only kill the fleas that are out in the open at the time you use it. It can take multiple applications to completely elminate fleas, but this is not the best product with which to do so. Nyguard Plus would be a better option as it also contains an IGR to help prevent the young from maturing into reproducing adults. It also has the benefit of being an odor neutralizer as well. Infested bedding should be washed and dried, and this will kill anything on it; neither product can be used on bedding. We also have a great guide here that explains the treatment needed.

Q

Can house plants be left in the house when the FMC Residual Fogger is used, or should they be removed outside?
I have a bird of paradise plant with huge leaves. The fog residue would cling to the leaves. Will this harm my plants? I have quite a few.

A

Since the FMC Residual Fogger is not labeled for use in greenhouses or on plants, specifically, we would recommend removing the bird of paradise or other houseplants from the treatment area to avoid any potential damage to the plants.

Q

Would the FMC Residual Fogger get rid of rats?
Would the fogger bother the rats in my attic enough to cause them to leave? I don't expect that it would kill them. I just want to annoy them enough so that they pack up and leave.

A

No, the FMC Residual Fogger would affect rodents. We would recommend using a rodent repellent such as DeTour Sealant instead.

Q

Does this Residual Fogger work well on German roaches?
I moved and my girlfriend wanted to keep the refrigerator we had in our old apartment. Turns out it had roaches in it and now the refrigerator, which is sitting in our garage, is apparently a hub for them. She still wants the fridge so if there is a way to kill them before they spread to the rest of the house, I'm all ears. I am hoping this will be a step in that direction.

A

Aerosol Foggers such as Residual Fogger can be used to treat the garage however will only kill roaches that are out when it is going off and can leave a residual to keep killing those that contact a treated area only for a few weeks after. It will not effect those that hide and do not come out. …

Aerosol Foggers such as Residual Fogger can be used to treat the garage however will only kill roaches that are out when it is going off and can leave a residual to keep killing those that contact a treated area only for a few weeks after. It will not effect those that hide and do not come out. Roaches, especially German Roaches require a combination of products and repeat treatments to fully eradicate. Roaches will nest in appliances for the heat source, this is common. Since you cannot spray into the fridge or electrical panels, we recommend using bait to lure them out of the refrigerator. We would recommend one of our roach control kits. You can see the kits by clicking on the link here. We also have a great article for eliminating them.
