Do mosquito foggers work?

I'm getting swarmed at the camp and need a solution so I can actually spend some time outside without going crazy. What brand fogger and chemicals work best? Any other recommendations are appreciated.

Not sure about a fogger but my old boss had a “mosquito magnet” it’s a propane device that captures mosquitoes. He would show us pics of bags of mosquitoes it caught each week. Said it kept his yard pretty much bearable in south Louisiana.

Yes. We have one at the camp that my dad bought in the 1980's and it still works like a charm.

I have the Smaller Stihl Backpack fogger. 2 1/2 gallon capacity. It’s a lot lighter for me to carry. And goes a long way.
I use Talstar as someone mentioned. Also some pyrethrin for fast knockdown of the insects.
I’ve been killing mosquito’s for a living since 1995. We bought it so we would have something to bring to the camp in the marsh.
Kills all the insects. I don’t spray high or late because of lightning bugs.

You can try everything. The only thing that truly works is a screened porch..

calm environment a fogger will work short term.... slight breeze and someone else is enjoying your fogger. it needs to have time to settle in an area. The propane mosquito collectors work but they are designed to attract. so dont put them near where you wanna chill.
Best thing i have found is Bifen and Permethrin mixed in a spryer double what th mix says with water and spray everything down and then the yard for about 30 yds out. hit any wet spots and standing water. repeat after rain storms. I can comfortable sit on our porch with fans on while neighbors cannot.

I live on the lake. I use a mosquito zapper. Spray with ONSLAUGHT. Seems to work for me.

i keep a can of Bengal fogger in my bucket. after setting decoys, fogging the weeds/roseau cane is the next thing to do. stuff works. you can hear the mosquitos humming around you, but no bites.
i know this is not exactly what you are asking, but this type of fogger works for sure.

I find they work for short time periods. If I’m cooking outside and hanging out I will fog before heading outside. I notice a difference.

Ryobi makes a battery powered 18v fogger. Like $80, I've used it for 4 years now. Works great and haven't had an issue. I use the Black Flag fogger repellent.
