a tool that sprays a fine mist of chemicals to control pests and insects
A fogger is a tool used to spray a fine mist of liquid, often containing pesticides or disinfectants, over an area. It works by breaking the liquid into small droplets, creating a fog-like spray that can cover a large space. Foggers are commonly used in gardens, homes, or other areas to control pests, such as insects or bacteria, by reaching places that are hard to treat with other methods. They are particularly useful for treating large areas or areas with dense plants where pests may hide.
