Fogging is a way to atomize products registered with the EPA for this application. This method allows approved mold removal products to be delivered to every part of the targeted area extremely effectively. Attics, crawl spaces, large rooms or areas, and new construction are ideal for fogging. This method can reach distances of 30 feet, and cover every inch of the space being fogged. Use only EPA-registered chemicals approved for fogging (NOTE: Oxy-Mold MX-501 is not approved for use in foggers).Never fog with bleach.

Cold fogging is required for mold remediation. Most foggers on the market use either propane or electric heat to atomize the product. Heating the product in any way will destroy the chemical properties of the product and render it ineffective. Our foggers are air based and do not heat the product.

Ultra-Low-Volume (ULV) Cold Fog. A ULV Fogger generates atomized fog particles by using a high volume of air at a low pressure. Such a system enables droplets of a more precise size to be generated. The absence of a large number of very small droplets will limit the penetration of the fog into highly obstructed areas. ULV foggers can dispense mold treating chemicals in a more concentrated form since less dilution is required. Also, the ability to be able to calibrate the machine to produce droplets of the optimum size for the type of chemical being used makes ULV fogging the method of choice whenever possible.

• Attics with Mold
• Crawl Spaces with Mold
• Basements with Mold
• Large Rooms with Mold
• New Construction with Mold (Pre-Drywall)
• New Construction Mold Preventative (Pre-Drywall)
• Entire Homes with Mold (Used under strict guidelines)
• Large Buildings with Mold, Virus Problems (SARS, Anthrax etc.)

Fogging can be done easily and safely. First use only a fungicide registered with EPA for this application for indoor mold applications. Completely fix any leak or humidity problem that caused the mold in the first place. Then dry the area completely with fans and or de-humidifiers (close off the area with taped plastic if mold spores may be pushed around the home or area by using fans). Mix the water based product according to instructions. Break the area into 15' x 15' virtual quadrants. You DO NOT have to put up a plastic barrier for each 15 x 15 foot area. Unless you are using multiple foggers, you will have to move the fogger to each 15' x 15' area until the job is complete.

Turn on the fogger and allow it to run for 30-45 minutes at a time checking the fluid levels of the product periodically. Put the fogger on a timer so that it will shut off when your job is finished. Wear a P100 respirator with organic vapor cartridge, gloves, goggles and coveralls when entering any fogging space while the machine is running or a mist is still present. The same applies for fogging any basement, crawl space, or attic. Allow the product to dry and properly ventilate the entire home before reoccupying the space. You will need to do this a minimum of two times in between treatments. Then you may reinstall insulation, drywall, and or close the space back up.

For homes or offices with constant moisture it may be necessary to do this on a regular maintenance schedule (every month to three months) depending on the humidity levels etc. Warning: Mold may reappear if you have not solved the humidity, leak or moisture problem.

The fogger used MUST be a cold fogger. Some pest control foggers use heat which can change the chemical properties of the product. Not all cold foggers on the market are the same. We have dealt with a number of manufacturers and found this product to be the best one for this particular application. You may find a fogger cheaper but it will not be a professional grade fogger.
