How Foggers Work
-
Most foggers come in aerosol cans with tabs or buttons that release their contents into the air. The active ingredients hang in the droplets in the air before settling onto surfaces such as floors, furniture and counters.
Flea Locations
-
Fleas in the home congregate in the areas where there is a food supply such as in pet bedding or around the family sofa. The larvae cling to carpet fibers and other fabrics.

Problem
-
The chemicals settle on the surface of carpet and never reach to the depths where the larvae live. They also cannot reach under furniture or into folds of drapes or pet bedding.
