Buying Guide
What space size is your shed? Choose a fogger rated for the approximate cubic feet of the shed. For sheds up to 2,000 cubic feet, a single can may suffice; larger spaces may require multiple cans.
Is there a known nest location? If you can access nests, a fogger with strong penetrating mist is preferred to reach deep cracks and under shelves.
Indoor vs outdoor use: Some foggers are versatile, but always verify labeling for shed environments, and ensure adequate ventilation during and after use.
Safety considerations: Remove people and pets from the space during application. Wait the recommended time before re-entering, and ensure the space is well-ventilated afterward.
Post-treatment follow-up: Consider a second treatment if wasp activity persists after the initial fogging, and inspect potential nesting sites for re-infestation.
