Durvet 011-1131 No Bite IGR House Fogger (3 Pack), 6 oz

Thank you to the makers of this. I can't live without this. It's perfect anytime you have critters that rode in on pants/shoes. It kills them wonderfully. Helps with fruit flies too. It's expensive but you know it works and continues to work. So you can sleep peacefully again with no bites. Easy to use. Just shut off air circulation follow directions. I put newspapers directly under where I sit it to fog. Perfect.

I looked for a fogger which could kill hornets and yellow jacks at both Lowe's and Home Depot. Neither store carried anything like this. Recently, I had a closed-off attic interior roof space become infested with yellow jackets. Standing in both upstairs bedrooms, I could clearly hear them buzzing above the ceilings' sheetrock. It was really creepy! The upstairs rooms haves two crawl spaces which connect with where the infestation was happening thought a series of ventilation holes. I quickly opened the crawl space doors and set off a fogger in each rooms' crawlspace and shut their doors. Within minutes the noise of the yellow jackets began to die down and then completely stop. This fogger worked its way to the infestation and killed ALL of them! Success!My only gripe is that for the price, there should be 4 foggers in the package instead of just 3.

Good transition.

I purchased the Durvet No Bite IGR House Fogger (3 Pack, 6 oz) about a month ago to tackle a flea problem in my home, likely brought in by my 10-pound tabby cat. With a small house (about 1,500 sq ft), I needed a solution to eliminate fleas and prevent reinfestation, especially in areas like the living room and bedroom where my cat lounges. After using two of the three foggers, here’s my detailed take on their performance, including pros, cons, and tips for other pet owners.How I Used ItI used two 6-oz foggers to treat my single-story home, covering approximately 8,000 cubic feet (living room, bedroom, hallway, and laundry room where the litter box is). Each can treats up to 6,000 cubic feet, so I placed one in the living room and one in the bedroom, following the instructions: shake well, set on newspaper atop a 30-inch table, activate, and leave the house for two hours. After ventilating for 30 minutes with open windows and fans, I re-entered. I vacuumed thoroughly before and after treatment to disturb flea eggs and remove residue. My cat was treated with a vet-recommended flea topical prior to fogging, and I covered her water bowl and removed her toys during treatment.ProsEffective Flea Control: The combination of NYLAR (insect growth regulator), Pyrethrum, and Permethrin works well. Within a week, I stopped seeing fleas on my cat’s bedding or carpet, and no new bites on my ankles. The fogger kills adult fleas, larvae, and eggs, which is critical for breaking the flea life cycle.Long-Lasting Protection: The product claims to prevent reinfestation for 7 months, and so far (4 weeks in), I haven’t noticed any flea resurgence. This gives me peace of mind, especially with a cat who loves lounging on furniture.Broad Pest Coverage: Beyond fleas, it targets cockroaches, spiders, ants, mosquitoes, and more. I noticed fewer spiders in my laundry room post-treatment, which was a bonus.Easy to Use: The fogger is straightforward—shake, press the lock, and leave. The cans released evenly, and setup took less than 5 minutes per room. The 3-pack is convenient for treating multiple areas or reapplying if needed.Reasonable Value: At about $10 per can, it’s competitively priced compared to professional pest control or other foggers like Hot Shot, especially given the 7-month protection.ConsStrong Initial Odor: The fogger leaves a chemical smell that lingers for a day or two, even after 30 minutes of ventilation. I needed extra fans and open windows to clear it fully, which was inconvenient in humid weather.Prep Work Required: You must remove pets, cover aquariums, and store food/toys, plus vacuum thoroughly before and after. This prep took me about an hour, so it’s not a quick fix.Mixed Results on Non-Flea Pests: While it reduced spiders, I still saw a few ants in my kitchen a week later, suggesting it’s less effective for pests other than fleas. For wasps or roaches, you might need a targeted product.Safety Concerns: The instructions emphasize keeping pets and humans out for two hours, and I was extra cautious with my cat due to the potent chemicals. If you have multiple pets or kids, the process requires careful planning.ComparisonsCompared to Hot Shot Fogger with Odor Neutralizer (2 oz, 3-pack), the Durvet fogger has a larger capacity (6 oz vs. 2 oz) and longer-lasting IGR, but Hot Shot’s odor is less noticeable. Against Adams Plus Flea & Tick Fogger, Durvet is similarly effective for fleas but cheaper per ounce. If you’re considering professional pest control, this fogger is a cost-effective DIY option for mild infestations, though severe cases might still require a pro. I also used Arm & Hammer litter box deodorizers alongside this, which helped with overall pet area freshness but don’t address fleas.Tips for BuyersCalculate Coverage: Measure your space (length x width x height) to ensure you use enough cans. My 1,500 sq ft home with 8-ft ceilings needed two cans for ~8,000 cubic feet. Overlap slightly for thorough coverage.Prep Thoroughly: Vacuum carpets, furniture, and pet areas before fogging to disturb flea eggs, and wash pet bedding. Post-treatment, vacuum again to remove dead fleas and residue.Ventilate Well: Open all windows and use fans for at least 30 minutes (I did 45) to clear the chemical odor. If you have asthma or sensitivities, consider extra ventilation time.Protect Pets: Ensure pets are treated with flea meds and kept out during fogging. I boarded my cat for a few hours to be safe. Cover or remove pet items like bowls and toys.Who Should Buy This?The Durvet No Bite IGR Fogger is ideal for pet owners dealing with mild to moderate flea infestations in homes, apartments, or pet areas. It’s a cost-effective, long-term solution for fleas and some other pests, but requires careful prep and ventilation. If you have a severe infestation or need to target non-flea pests like wasps, consider supplementing with other products or professional help.Overall, I’m satisfied with the fogger’s performance for controlling fleas in my home. It’s given me confidence to let my cat roam without worrying about bites. I’m saving the third can for a follow-up treatment in a month to ensure no eggs hatch. If you’ve used this or have flea control tips, share in the comments—I’d love to hear your experience!

And all the bugs died

Ordered this to kill some yellow jackets in my shop (22x40 with 15 ft ceiling). Had them coming out of a crack in the ceiling of my shop. Opened up the access door and set one off in the attic as well as 2 others at floor level. Everything died including the stink bugs which was a bonus. Will be ordering again just to have on hand just in case.

Bought this fogger pack for a yellow jacket problem in my attic. After shaking the can, popping of the white plastic cap and pressing down on the fogger tab to activate it, the whole piece flies off losing it in the insulation. So I grab a second and repeat the process of shaking it and pressing down on the tab. SECOND fogger did the SAME THING!!! This time I recovered the piece and tried sticking it back on the can. Would not stay on when the fogger was activated.Now being in a confined space in my attic and having to hold the plastic piece in place would be dangerous breathing in those fumes. Not worth my health. Be warned that this can happen to you with this product. Once the fogger tab comes off the can, it stops spraying. You need the plastic piece on top to allow it to spray. Or take your risk and hold it down yourself but then your opening yourself up to health issues.

Does not kill mites.
