Determine what type of fogging and misting application you need for your home. An electric fogger is good for a small area and plugs easily into a wall socket, while a thermal mister is preferred if you are killing mosquitoes over a large area. Research the benefits and drawbacks for both in your situation.

Hook the propane tank up to your thermal unit if that is your choice. Light the heating element and allow it to work. This will reach a much wider area than the electric unit. But it is still important to have the unit centrally located so that the fog reaches all the crucial areas of your property to kill the mosquitoes.
