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.

Safety Precautions:

•Always wear protective clothing (gloves, goggles).

•Avoid breathing insecticide fog or vapors.

•Always pre-heat your fogger for at least 2 minutes while keeping the

fogger level to the ground. Failure to pre-heat may clog the burner orifice

causing damage to the unit.

•Use only Black Flag® Fogging Insecticide or Burgess Bug Killer

Insect Fog. Your Black Flag® Bug Fogger is designed to be used with

these insecticides only. The use of other insecticides or chemicals may

damage your fogger and could result in unsafe conditions thereby voiding

the warranty.

•Always operate your fogger in an upright position. Never turn the unit

upside down.

•Do not over tighten the fuel valve. Your fogger will continue to burn for a

short while (up to 1 minute) after the valve is turned off. Over tightening

may cause damage to your fogger.

•Always inspect the threaded outlet of the propane fuel cylinder and

remove any dirt that may be there. Improper attachment of the propane

gas cylinder to the fogger may result in a gas leak. Care must be taken

not to cross thread when attaching the cylinder into the valve.

• Operate the fogger only in well ventilated areas. DO NOT USE INDOORS

or within any enclosed structure. Always keep the fogger away from

flammable materials. Do not smoke while filling and/or operating the unit.

Do not fog near uncovered foods, cooking or eating utensils, or open fires.

Contamination, fire, or explosion could occur.

• Do not operate the fogger in areas where people and pets are present.

Keep the fogger, propane cylinder, and insecticide out of the reach of

children.

• Keep your face, hands, and clothing away from the mesh burner cover at

all times. The mesh burner cover becomes very hot while in operation.

•Never leave the fogger unattended while the burner is lit.

•Always follow the insecticide label instructions.

•Never store propane cylinders in living spaces or attached to the fogger.

Always store them in a cool, well ventilated space. Propane cylinders are

under high pressure. Do not handle them roughly.

•Do not incinerate the propane cylinder or insecticide container when

empty. Propane cylinders and insecticide containers should be disposed of

according to the manufacturer’s label.
