My recommendation is not to skimp either. Use one bomb per room
because the fog has a difficult time making it from one room to the next.
This can be an expensive proposition but I would go this route.

Never over do the flea bombs...they can be ignited by a spark or pilot
light.... then house goes boom.


So should cutting off the electricity to the house via the circuit
breaker get rid of the pilot light ? THe directions on the Zodiac
fogger states to make sure elctrical appliances which cycle on and off
such as thermostats and refrigerators be shut off. Sam e with a pilot
light. I think the pilot light comes on automatically when the heater
is turned on. Not sure.

I tried the carpet powder, and it didn't work. Unless i didn't use
enough per carpet. I think it made the problem worse!!!!! I only
lightly sprinkled, and used one sweep of a broom to work it in.i USED
THREE CANS FOR 4 ROOMS and a hallway and a staircase. Maybe those one
gallon jugs of Zed flea sprays they sell at Home Depot would disperse
the IGR and adulticide better.Powder dispersion is not so easy. One
can of powder per room or rug?

Anyway, my mom is deathly afraid of the house blowing up if I use the
foggger, but that seems to be the best option for DIY. Ican't beiive
they made a product so freaking dangerous.
