Default Fogging for insects with my Burgess Fogger? On ROSES?

I just purchased a Burgess Insect Fogger for $69.
I hear they are available at Home Depot and Wal Mart
in certain Areas. It takes oil based insecticide
and with a propane burner tank, turns it into a
thick fog that can be broadcast around your home.


Oh. My. God.

You cannot be serious.

If you are, the first thing you need to get is a respirator, the
highest grade available.

Then, look around at any other living things that might be in your
yard, such as birds, etc., and kiss them good bye if you cannot
confine them to your house.

I am the Chemical Queen around here, (I spray with Orthenex every ten
days) and I would not even mess with a fogger.

My advice to you is to take that thing back.




Anyone used this on their roses? If so, what
insecticide should I purchase to load into
it? Is it safe? Is it smart? did it work as an
effective replacement for standard spraying?

Thanks!
