What Customers Are Saying
The mosquito fogger is generally effective at controlling mosquitoes and other flying insects, but its quality and durability can be inconsistent. Many users find it easy to use and initially effective, but some report issues with ignition, leaks, or the fogger failing after a short time. The effectiveness also depends on factors like wind conditions and the type of insecticide used. Overall, the fogger can be a useful tool for mosquito control, but customers may need to experiment with different insecticides to achieve the best results and should be prepared for potential quality control problems.

Works like a charm
Don't know what others were complaining about -- this fogger has been THE answer to my mosquito problems in my front and back yard. And super easy to use.
Thank you DMV1016 for your wonderful feedback. We agree!

Junk..... One star rating is generous.
I bought this fogger a year ago and it worked well the first time I used it. With each use the pump that injects chemical into the burner was less effective. Now summer is here for the second season and the pump no longer works. About 10 uses is how long the pump worked or about one quart of Black Flag. This product should be removed from the market.
Lotech, there are many things that could be happening here (i.e., propane low or attached improperly, clogged nozzle or coil, piston could be worn, o...

does the job
Would RecommendGgood product. Only problem is that this time of year lowes does not have the needed chemical .

Do not buy this
Would Not RecommendThe first one I bought maybe four years ago worked great. I finally wore it out with constant use. The one I just bought is worthless. The igniter won't light the propane. Have to use a charcoal lighter. The trigger that pumps the insecticide only barely works and is hard to squeeze. The coil doesn't heat up nearly as hot as my old one which means less foggy in time. Over all it was an absolute waste of $70. I should have read the customer reviews and saved the aggregation and money.
Ugh
Would Not RecommendThe first time I used the fogger, it was hard to light, but that was easily fixed with a butane lighter. Then it worked really well two or three times. Tried to use it yesterday -- was hard to light again, but I got it going with the lighter. Then it started leaking the fogging solution; apparently the reservoir sprung a leak. Taking it back today.
Fogs well but poor quality
Would Not RecommendBought this to combat the mosquitos. Out of the box, filled the tank and it took a number of strikes to get the ignition to work. It does drip to begin with but once it is hot it produces a substantial amount of fog. So far the chemical seems to be working. Second usage, ignition didn't work and the housing around the ignition button has a clear and clean crack in the cheap plastic. We now have to use a lighter to ignite ! The design is poor, the quality is terrible and to pay $70 for an item ...
2nd summer still doing well
Would RecommendI''ve read other reviews.....I don't have any issues with parts.....Last year I had a huge party for Labor Day (125 people in my backyard). I called someone to spray my yard for a mosquitos a week before the event. I use the fogger 2 hours before the event (yes I used the entire liquid).....for 3 hrs NO MOSQUITOS....I then reuse during the party abound the baseline of my fence and underneath my patio......I was good for another 2 hrs. I use it when I go out to play with my dog as well..it works...
Very Poor Quality
Would Not RecommendI bought this last summer, used it 2 times then put it away since mosquito season was over. Got it out to use it again this summer, noticed that the liquid was gone. Thought maybe it had evaporated. I filled it up and attached the propane bottle. When I picked it up the fluid was leaking all over!!! Tried to find out where it was coming from but couldn't get the bottom off. Looks like it is supposed to screw off but it won't come off. So I spent $69.00 to use it twice. It isn't like it got too c...
Love It !!!
Would RecommendThis is our 2nd year using the fogger and I love it. We live on a farm and have open air coops and during mosquito season, the mosquitoes are ruthless. It is very annoying to go out in the chicken yard and night and get bitten up by mosquitoes and to have the birds being bitten as well. Mosquitoes are dangerous to birds because they can get sick and die, so that's why it is VERY important to make sure that we control the mosquito population. I had been going outside with long sleeve pants, long ...
Works for me!
Would RecommendI've been using this fogger for about 3 yrs now. I have had very good results with it. The unit has worked flawlessly and if I use it consistently I get good results with it. We always use it about 30 minutes before we do any outdoor grilling and don't have a problem with the 'skeeters'.
One of the sorriest products ever developed
Would Not RecommendDid not even get 1 season out of it. Used 6 times. Pump and igniter failed. Plastic separated. Couldn't contact the manufacturer. Will not ever buy another Black Flag product.
JUNK (Bring back the original design)
Would Not RecommendI'm a previous owner of the original fogger and it worked great but after several years of heavy use it was time to buy a new one. There was no question I'm going to buy the same fogger again. The new fogger is not the same it doesnt stay lite and it blows out with very little wind. The problem is they changed the outside protection screen and it now has larger holes causing it to blow out. I bragged to all my friends how good the original product was now I have to tell them what a piece of junk...
Very Poor Quality
Would Not RecommendIt lasted about a month. I used it 4-5 times a week fogging out my car port. Worked well at first but just fell apart quickly. Very poor quality, Sould cost $25 not $70.
Black Flag Propane Fogger
Would Not RecommendFrom the day we purchased it, the flint igniter would not ignite the propane and we had to use a lighter. When we tried to fog the back yard, if there was a breeze, it would blow out the propane.
CARRIED IT BACK
Would Not RecommendTRIED IT ONCE, THE PLASTIC STARTED TO BURN. LUCKY FOR ME LOWES GAVE ME MY MONEY BACK.
Excellent. I never entertain outdoors without spraying the area for mosquitoes....it lasts 5- 6 hours.
