Instead of promptly doing something, it appears as if the government effectively did nothing while Americans were at risk. This was yet another compromise. The EPA believes that many fogger accidents result from product overuse. Overuse results in the introduction of an excessive amount of material into the air and a dangerous buildup of flammable vapors. Generally, the EPA advises that one six ounce or eight ounce fogger is sufficient for an average size room.
Smaller sizes are available for apartments.
Foggers should not be used in very small spaces such as closets or cabinets. There is an equation that people can use to calculate fogger use. One ounce of product should cover 1000 cubic feet of living space. Ignition sources that can pose a danger include open flames, pilot lights, and sparks from electrical equipment that cycle on such as refrigerators and air conditioners. Foggers are cheap and generally effective.
