Burgess 1443 Propane Insect Fogger for Fast and Effective Mosquito Control in Your Yard

All praise the glory that is the Burgess Outdoor Propane Mosquito Destroying Wand of Magic. I live in North Central Texas and the mosquito problem is insanely out of control. Ever since the mid 80's when the environmentalist were able to stop the use of city wide mosquito fogging and spraying by the municipalities there has been a mosquito epidemic. I have tried pretty much every possible mosquito control product available (including the mosquito traps - which work great by the way but are expensive and require a lot of maintenance.) Nothing I have ever used has produced the results of this precious little mosquito murdering package of joy. The construction of the fogger itself seems a tad flemsy but make no mistake this thing performs perfectly. The operation is very simple: 1. You fill the tank with mosquito killing love potion, 2. you insert your propane fuel source (the manufacturer highly recommends using the skinny 14oz tanks not the fat 16 oz camping tanks,) 3. light the fogging element, 4. pump the trigger a few times and watch the magic happen. This thing will produce a TON of fog and beats the pants of anything you can get from Home Depot or Lowes. The fogger will hold your blood sucking mosquitos at bay for at least 4 or 5 hours long enough for you to take care of business outside. The key is to find the source of your mosquito population and then lay waste to it. If you get rid of your still water sources around the yard and your neighbor's yard so the mosquitos can't reproduce then you will get far more bang for your buck out of this fogger. Also, did I mention it's really FUN to operate this magic mosquito exterminating machine? Once you light this puppy and start the fogging you will get thorough enjoyment out of fogging the grass, bushes, trees, shed, under the shed, rain gutters, the neighbor's grass, bushes ,etc. I wish I could hook 10 of these up to the back of a truck and drive around the entire neighborhood bringing foggy death to all of these blood sucking mosquitoes and become the neighborhood hero. But, alas, that is a dream. What is not a dream is this fogger - it's great, does what it says it does and is not a bad price given the return it will give you. P.S. I hate mosquitoes with every fiber of my existence.

Good product, it works properly, I have used it and it does its job, I have recommended it to my family

I was going to buy a different fogger but this one cost less. I didn't realize that in order to ignite this fogger, you hold a lit match under the metal shroud and then slowly release propane. It's easy enough but I kind of wish I bought the other for no other reason than convenience. I fired this one up w recommended Black Flag insecticide and fogged around the house. It works very well. You just need to get used to how much fog it creates when you squeeze the trigger. Be mindful of drips out of the nozzle after you're done. Maybe you have pavers or stones that might get stained. All in all, a cool product that definitely helps cut down on bugs. Also know that the manufacturer really stresses / recommends you use 14 oz propane tank and not the shorter stubbier 16 oz. They warn of "flare ups" with the later.

I bought this because my Daughter was having an outdoor wedding in a Florida garden full of dense vegetation and Live Oak trees. When we went to the venue to assess it, we were eaten alive by mosquitoes. It was at that point that we decided we would need to find some sort of mosquito control for the Wedding day. I bought this based upon other reviews and also because I felt it was the best way to cover such a large dense area. I visited the venue on Friday evening before the wedding and fogged the entire area (about 1/4 acre) in about an hour. I was careful to spray into large shrubs and bushes and also along open ground to ensure full coverage. The wedding was at 6PM Saturday evening and there were no mosquitos! In fact, there were no other annoying Florida bugs (gnats, no-see-ums) attacking us and the guests. I don't think this is something I would use everyday, but I will use it whenever we have outdoor events. It works very well and I highly recommend it if you have some outdoor family events planned; it makes it much more enjoyable.

I have mostly only good things to say about this product. On the one hand, if you didn't tell me what this thing did, I'd guess that it'd only cost $50. (They lowered the price from $63 to $58 after I wrote this review... HAH!) The plastic that forms the handle could be thicker. Everything else is pretty satisfactory, however, and I'm more than willing to overpay by $13 to get rid of these damn Asian Tiger mosquitoes, which I, after much careful study, have determined to be harbingers of the Apocalypse. I get about 10 bites a day and hate them with a passion. (For those unfamiliar with the Asian Tiger mosquito, imagine a normal mosquito that is more pervasive [they sneak inside your home with ease], more patient [they'll stalk you for hours], more intelligent [they will go away for 15 minutes if you swat at them and miss, and they will often just wait until you go to sleep], much more difficult to get rid of [the consensus seems to be that CO2 traps don't attract them unless supplemented with other attractants, citronella candles serve only as speed bumps, and they sometimes even ignore DEET], harder to see, and whose bite not only itches more than a normal mosquito, but also burns like an ant bite. In short, they are almost as annoying as fleas but far more difficult to get rid of. They are absolute b--tards and pose a more significant threat than al-Qaeda, Communists, mountain lions, mad cow disease, cyanide-producing grass, and even politicians [perhaps I got a little carried away with that last one.]) Seeing as how I got a West Nile notice taped on my door about 16 hours after my fogger arrived, I was even more confident in my purchase of this here brightly colored contraption. Upon declaring that this, amongst other incidents, was proof that I possess psychic powers, I got a few odd looks, but no matter. It needs 60-90 seconds to heat up fully, but after that, it's good to go. Wisdom acquired over the past decades has taught me to read instruction manuals prior to using products, but I figured with propane and poison involved, there wasn't much that could go wrong. In my first use, I learned three things: (1) don't go too crazy on the trigger because you'll start squirting liquid out instead of steam -- one squeeze every 4 seconds is about the fastest you'll want to go, (2) you can easily light a bush on fire with this thing so be careful (I didn't light a bush on fire, but I did spray it down a PVC pipe which had burs from being cut and almost instantly caught on fire, and (3) the Black Flag fogger liquid that I picked up at Lowes is (in)flammable and can produce a surprise fireball (I managed to make a 2' diameter fireball more near my face than I would have liked while bending over to part the branches of a bush. On the plus side, surprise fireballs make the work more interesting.) I've got a gallon of Bonide's fogger liquid en route, so I'll have to see how that compares. As far as the fogger's performance goes, it can produce a gloriously sized mosquito-killing cloud of joy. Any slight disappointment about the thickness of the plastic handle is quickly consumed by a thick, lingering, cascading cloud of death and subsequent elation. An Asian-tiger-mosquito hater such as myself has to make a conscious effort to not smile too broadly or cackle during application, as it may interfere with the airtight seal that a respirator mask makes with one's face. If this thing were for some other purpose, I'd give it 4 or 4.5 stars. Quite good, but not totally amazing quality where you will be asking how they manage to sell it for only $63. But it's for killing mosquitoes en masse, and it's good at the job, so it gets five stars no matter what. As a side note, I would be willing to pay $20-30 extra to get a stainless steel version of this fogger, as that should allow you to store the liquid without worrying about rust. Perhaps it would still evaporate and leave built up gunk behind, eventually clogging it, but maybe not. If rust is the only concern, though, then it would be nice to have a stainless steel version. I like to buy quality gadgets that will last 10+ years with as little maintenance as possible. In the grand scheme of things, considering the fact that you'll be using $50-200 in fogging insecticide a year (depending on the size of your yard and the severity of the problem), an extra $20-30 is a drop in the bucket, especially if it lowers maintenance and extends the life of the fogger by several years.

This product is fantastic! It exceeded my expectations in every way and has been an absolute pleasure to use. Highlights: Top-Notch Quality: The craftsmanship and attention to detail are excellent. It feels sturdy and well-made. Performs Perfectly: It works exactly as advertised, if not better. Everything about it is smooth, reliable, and efficient. Great Value: For the price, you get outstanding performance and features that surpass similar products. Easy to Use: The intuitive design made it simple to set up and start using right away. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into creating a product that delivers such a great experience. Highly recommended to anyone considering it—you won’t be disappointed!

I bought this fogger and followed the instructions to get it set up: 1. Filled the yellow container with an insecticide. 2. Attached a propane cylinder to the back. 3. Turned the propane knob a small amount. 4. Held a lighter under it until it lit up. 5. Waited a couple minutes for it to heat up, where all coils were orange. 6. Started using it, keeping it level and pressing the trigger every few seconds to shoot out fog and insecticide. At first it shot out huge amounts of fog, then after 10 minutes or so it started only shooting out tiny tendrils of smoke. The amount was so small that it couldn't effectively cover any area with fog. I turned it off, let it cool down, then repeated the process to get it lit again and it still only shot out small amounts of smoke. I tried multiple times on multiple days, and it still wouldn't shoot out nearly as much fog as it did at first so I returned it and they shipped me a replacement. Today I tried the replacement and the same thing happened. The first 10 minutes it worked really well, shooting out huge amounts of fog, then after that only a very small amount was shot out (too small to be effective). I looked more closely and noticed that the bolt on the end of the fogger which is supposed to have a hole in the middle to throttle the amount of smoke shot out had melted, so the hole was blocked. This fogger got great reviews so I'm confused as to what I'm missing. Did I happen to get two duds in a row, or is there some inherent flaw with the bolt? How can you supply a bolt that melts when heated, when it's going to get heated in every day use?

In the perpetual search of a mosquito control solution that works, I invested in this fogger. Setup/ warmup can be a little tricky but the neat thing here is that it totally penetrates bushes and other dense greenery. The problem is that it just doesn't seem to last. If you have a very small yard perhaps this will work better but for 1/3+ acres this just doesn't have staying power. If there is ANY wind at all, forget it, this thing is useless. The fog will just blow away and wind also makes it very hard to light and stay lit. You might be able to kill any hiding, hard to reach, resident skeeters but others will still find other paths to get to you. I find myself still having to spray down with repellent which sucks and why I bought this thing to begin with. Pros: -Propane makes it portable -Produces good amounts of fog -Uses very little kill juice and propane Cons: -Wind makes it impossible to light the fogger and blows away any fog you produce -Doesn't last very long -Large yards prove problematic due to wind/ alternate routes for skeeters to get through

Es justo lo que yo necesitaba

Awesome

التصميم رائع لكن المشكلة ليش عنده بخاخ غاز مشعل ناري للآلة

GREAT PRODUCT AND WORKS WILL AND GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY. THANKS. KEITH

Que esté aparato realmente funciona para su propósito de eliminar los molestos mosquitos, vivo en una zona con mucha maleza y una laguna, por lo menos paso las noches sin esa plaga, claro previamente tengo que termofumigar. Vale la pena la inversión.
