Hello!

I had seen, that garden owners order sometimes guys with a big smoking "gun", which they use to treat a garden against mosquitoes or their eggs. 2 questions:

- what is it exactly, how it calls, I want to read details about it

- how to order such service in Chiang Mai, Sansai area?

Ask your local OhPohThoh (อ.ป.ท.) (Department of local administration) because they make regularly use of this service. Your friendly Thai neighbour will tell you were the nearest one is, almost every village has its own O.P.T. station.

The machine is called a fogger.

As part of our Pest Control Contract our Contractor fogs each month.

The last question - how green is it? Is it kills other insects/animals/plants? Is it dangerous for people?

If the guys spraying the stufff wear face masks, you should tripple up on that/

I live in Nong Khiao which is near Sansai. They have been spraying the entire village over the past couple weeks. On Friday, I saw a group of about 20 people on scooters, all wearing the same colored shirts, and carrying flags, which had pictures of mosquitoes in an x'ed out red circle. I couldn't read the Thai script but it appears there is currently a "stamp out mosquitoes campaign" of some kind.

The above quote seems like good current advice.

Why you talk about spraying, but not fogging/smoking?
