The reality

Mosquitoes Shouldn't Decide When You Go Inside.

You bought the patio, the grill, the string lights. Then the mosquitoes showed up and took it all back. Here's why most fixes fall short.

They Ruin Your Evenings

Cookouts cut short. Kids called inside. The patio sits empty by sunset because no one wants to be the meal.

Candles and Sprays Fall Short

Citronella covers a few feet of still air. Bug spray protects one person for one evening. Neither clears a whole yard.

Pros Cost a Fortune

Professional barrier spraying runs $100 or more every month, season after season, on a service you could run yourself.

DIY Gets Confusing

Granules, traps, zappers, and sprays each promise a fix. Most are messy, fiddly, or simply don't cover enough ground.

Professional-Grade Foggers. Homeowner-Simple.

The same thermal fogging technology pest control pros rely on, built for a homeowner to pick up and use. Choose propane for go-anywhere portability or electric for plug-in convenience.

Heritage

Backed by 100+ Years of Sprayer Expertise.

Burgess foggers are manufactured by The Fountainhead Group, the same family-owned company behind Indian Fire Pumps, Field King, Smith Performance, and licensed Roundup and DEWALT sprayers.

The Fountainhead Group has been building sprayers and application equipment since 1888, when D.B. Smith introduced one of the first compressed air sprayers. That long bench of engineering experience is what stands behind every Burgess fogger.

The result: professional-grade thermal fogging, engineered to be picked up and used by a homeowner on a Friday evening.

Why fogging works

Why Fogging Beats Every Other Backyard Solution.

Fogging doesn't ask mosquitoes to stay away. It clears them out of the whole yard at once, then keeps them out. Here's what sets it apart.

01

Whole-Yard Coverage

Treats 5,000 sq ft in under 10 minutes. No candle, spray, or trap covers that much ground that fast.

02

Kills And Repels

The fog clears out the mosquitoes that are there now and keeps new ones away for up to 6 hours from a single treatment.

03

Safe Re-Entry

Family and pets can return as soon as the fog disperses, typically within 5 minutes. No long wait to enjoy your yard.

04

No Mess Left Behind

Unlike sprays, granules, or traps, fogging leaves no residue on your furniture, grill, or surfaces.

05

Go Anywhere (Propane)

The propane model needs no cord and no outlet. At just 2.8 lbs, take it to the far corner of the yard or the campsite.

06

Pro Results, Homeowner Price

The same thermal fogging technology used by pest control pros, starting at $93.99 -- not $100 a month.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A Burgess fogger is a thermal insect fogger used for residential mosquito and biting-fly control. It heats a fogging insecticide into a fine fog that settles across your yard, killing and repelling mosquitoes for up to 6 hours. Burgess foggers come in propane-powered and electric models, both of which treat an average 5,000 square foot yard in under 10 minutes. Burgess foggers are manufactured by The Fountainhead Group, Inc.

A thermal fogger heats a fogging insecticide and disperses it as a dense fog of tiny droplets. The fog penetrates the shaded, low areas where mosquitoes rest, such as shrubs, tall grass, and under decks, killing the insects on contact and leaving a residual that repels them for up to 6 hours. A Burgess fogger treats an average 5,000 square foot yard in under 10 minutes.

Yes. With a Burgess fogger, family and pets can re-enter the treated area as soon as the fog disperses, typically within 5 minutes. Burgess foggers are for outdoor use only and should not be used indoors or in enclosed spaces. Always read and follow the insecticide manufacturer's label, instructions, and Safety Data Sheet.

Burgess foggers are designed for use with Black Flag, Cutter, or Repel branded fogging insecticides only. Always read the chemical manufacturer's label, instructions, and Safety Data Sheet before use. Using chemicals not intended for thermal fogging can void the fogger warranty.

Choose the Burgess 1443 propane fogger if you want complete portability with no cord or outlet required, ideal for larger yards, campsites, and areas away from power. Choose the Burgess 960 electric fogger if you fog close to an outlet, such as a patio or deck, and prefer not to buy propane cylinders. Both models treat a 5,000 square foot yard in under 10 minutes.

A single Burgess treatment kills and repels mosquitoes for up to 6 hours, so many homeowners fog shortly before an evening outdoors. For ongoing control during mosquito season, fogging once or twice a week, and again after heavy rain, helps keep populations down. Always follow the insecticide label for application frequency.
