Default Propane Mosquito Foggers

Curious ... when you use one of those propane powered mosquito foggers is
the stuff they spray a toxin, or just a stinky smoke to drive them away?
Wouldn't mind using one, but I don't want to kill everything the fog
touches.

thanks

Never heard of a propane powered mosquito fogger. Are you talking about
those $300+ contraptions that attract and kill mosquitos? The ones I've
seen use propane to generate carbon dioxide (and/or use octenol) to attract
mosquitos to a central location where they are sucked to a chamber to die.

There's no toxins involved (unless octenol happens to be one).

correct. and they do work. the octenol is not a released toxin. Ingrid
