Anyway, the sheer volume of clothing bins and bags that needed cleaning was daunting, because I had to unload them somewhere, find a way to clean them of the mold, and check the clothes inside of them for mold exposure before I could safely bring them inside of our new home to unload. Wiping each bin down, one by one individually wasn’t really an option, because it would have taken me ages. Seriously, by the time I finished, I would’ve been 10 years older. I don’t have that kind of time. Especially in the middle of moving. But what was I to do? I couldn’t just leave the bins and bags outside for days, or risk not cleaning them and contaminating my house and our other things. There is also a safety element with just wiping, because it stirs up the mold, and releases it into the air. Also, if you know there is mold, wear a mask, gloves, and immediately wash your clothes with something like the EC3 Laundry Additive when you are finished cleaning.

When the bins and bags were completely dry, I decided to make extra certain that I wasn’t bringing contaminated clothing into the house by removing and fogging the clothes inside of all of the bags. I then brought the fogged clothes inside the house to wash in the washing machine with the EC3 Laundry Additive to kill any lingering spores. (Here is the LINK to my post on Cleaning Clothes for Mold.)

Third, I filled the Sani-tizer’s gallon jug with the correct measurement of EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate to distilled water per EC3 package instructions. (FYI, to make a gallon of the mold-cleaning solution for my fogger, I mixed 16 ounces of EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate with 112 ounces of distilled water.) I also practiced pointing and adjusting the nozzle head and spray strength before using it. It is advisable to be comfortable with pointing, rotating and moving around with the portable fogger before actually using it, because once it is on and misting, you want to make sure to focus your spray on what needs to be cleaned. Ensuring that the aerosolized particles of the EC3 solution land and evaporate directly on the mold, makes it more successful at killing the mold. It can best be described as almost smothering it. here

If you are interested in how cold foggers actually work, here is my short, incredibly simplified version for your reading pleasure.

[Poorboy]

There are several ways you can remove the risk of foggers to other insects. One of the best ways that you can do is use the device at a specific time. Most pollinators don’t come out in the morning and evening, so spraying for mosquitoes at those times can be really helpful.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated several times that mosquito foggers are generally safe for humans. The fog will not harm humans, and synthetic pyrethroids are the main ingredients in the pesticides. here

Unlike a thermal fogger, electric thermal foggers require a power outlet to work. If you happen to be in an area without a power outlet, then it won’t work. more

These foggers are best if you want to cover a wider area without spending too much effort – you can simply spray it and then forget about it. But the stationary fogger is often louder, heavier, and less portable than the handheld version.

Smaller droplets are better for inside environments. They stay in the air a lot longer, and can reach smaller holes and areas where mosquitoes hide. These particles are the best at killing mosquitos outright, and the particles can get anywhere. here

Mosquito foggers can kill other bugs and insects, which can be a problem if you have a garden. [links]

[kwukduck]

The most popular type of cold fogger is the ultra-low volume (ULV) fogger. Most of the time, ULV foggers are considered the same as cold foggers.

[miranda]

Most cold foggers work using electricity. This means that you must have a power outlet near the area to be fogged or an extension cord that can reach the target area. Some, however, are battery-powered and others use gasoline to power the motor. more

For larger insects that live outdoors, you’ll want to use a droplet size at the higher end of the spectrum. Even a small breeze can blow smaller droplets away from the target area. Larger particles, on the other hand, will reach the target area even in slightly windy conditions. [links]

The fogging process with an electric fogger is similar to that of a propane fogger. You must push the spraying trigger every few seconds. These intervals allow the machine to produce a dry fog that works best for outdoor applications. more

[isabelbonaguidi]

The insecticide container is on the bottom of the fogger. This container stores the insecticide or any other solution used for fogging. This container is usually either plastic or metal. The insecticide container can vary in size, depending on the fogger, but the most common size is about 100 oz. (3 L). more

To make it easier to carry around, there’s a handle on top of the tool. In the handle is a built-in fogging trigger. When pressed, this pumps the insecticide from the insecticide container into the heat barrel. It’s then vaporized and sprayed out through the nozzle. more

The body is pretty basic looks-wise. The fogger’s body and handle are similar to those you’ll find on gas foggers.
