Well looks like Home Depot also carries a 1 Gallon container of a Pyrethin
based insecticide which appears to be the preferable stronger? pesticide to
use.
I haven't actually seen the unit at Home Depot yet, and was assuming that it
came with the Resmethrin insecticide based on what i saw at an online
retailer. It may come with the Pyrethin quart container.
The 1 Gallon container is also sold by Burgess. Anyone use this before?

Im looking into getting one of the Burgess Foggers from Home Depot.
I plan on using it near a lake, and around some flower beds. There are
also
a lot of birds, squirrels, and a few cats around.
My primary concern would be the hazard to myself while fogging. Quite
often
the wind is blowing off the lake, but is usually calm in the early
mornings
and at night.
The Burgess unit comes with a .2% Resmethrin insecticide solution which is
oil based from what i have read.
From what i have read about Resmethrin at the two sites below it seems
somewhat safe to use, but as the one site shows it can be harmful to fish.
But that site also shows it being used in a much higher concentration.

My other concerns would be to the pets and wildlife in the area, and
lastly
to the flower beds.
Anyone using this under similar conditions? Any precautions or other
insecticides that might be less harmful?
All comments welcomed.
