Black Flag Bug Fogger Manual Del Usuario página 2

Congratulations!
You have just purchased our finest quality Black Flag® Bug Fogger. Fogging
is one of the most effective and economical means of creating a mosquito
free backyard. The Black Flag® Bug Fogger adds the convenience of total
portability for today's mobile, outdoor-oriented living. Most yards can be
treated in a matter of minutes.
The secret of the fogger's success lies in its ability to reduce insecticide into
microscopic particles averaging 15 microns in diameter (a micron measures
1/25,000 of an inch). By contrast, mist droplets range from 50 to 125 microns,
and spray droplets more than 125 microns.
The tiny particle size allows the fog to spread through the air, penetrating
shrubbery and other insect havens. The result is that more insecticide particles
come in contact with a larger number of insects for greater kill and repelling,
yet fogging uses far less insecticide than conventional sprays.
Be sure to read and follow all instructions.
If you have any questions on your fogger after reading through the instruction
manual, please call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-311-9903.
Where and When to Fog:
The Black Flag® Bug Fogger is designed to provide fast control of
mosquitoes, flies and other flying pests in outdoor areas such as yards,
patios, picnic areas, campgrounds and other places where insects can spoil
outdoor living.
The ideal time to fog is around dusk, when the wind has usually died down
and the temperature at ground level is somewhat higher than that of the air a
few feet off the ground. This temperature inversion will tend to hold the fog in
the treated area for a longer period of time. It is not advisable to attempt
fogging when the wind is blowing more than five miles an hour, since the fog
will be blown away before it has the opportunity to be effective.
Dryness or wetness of the fog is controlled by the rate of pumping. Pumping
at the recommended rate of once every 3 to 4 seconds will produce the most
effective fog. The fog should appear dense and white in color. If the fog
appears to be thin or yellow in color you are pumping too slow.
Keep the fogger about 5 feet away from the object(s) being treated
( plants / shrubs, furniture, or outdoor carpeting, etc.), since the oily residue
could have damaging effects. Let the fog drift in the desired direction. At this
distance, any non-vaporized particles of insecticide will have settled to the
ground. Always keep the breeze at your back when operating the fogger.
