Crossy Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Madam tells me that the local authorities are not fogging for mozzies this year (no $$$) So, since I'd like to keep the beasties at bay, we need something to DIY. We only have a couple of rai so I really don't want to spend $$$ on things with engines etc. along with the hassles of getting the ruddy thing started, I really don't get along with 2-strokes! (OK, they hate me!) There are quite a few Heath-Robinson devices on Lazada, for less than a Grand I'm prepared to give them a go, but has anyone actually tried one? https://www.lazada.co.th//products/i2884647091-s10525830858.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Sorry no. I've only ever used an old kerosine-powered job that had a pulse jet-type combustor. I didn't even know they made two-stroke ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think I may have been confusing with the backpack type ULV chemical sprayers on the engine front. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ulv-i4867972852-s20355934469.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have wrongly assumed that was the two-stroke of which you talk, which would supply heat from the exhaust to vapourize the insecticide.
