Anyone tried the DIY mozzie foggers? Thoughts??

[Crossy]

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?

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.

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

That must be for your area as we got fogged a week or so ago.

My confusion was the the word displacement and something like 98cc or 32cc in the descriptions. 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.

We have used one like that, maybe now exactly that one, with success in our yard.
