Fumigating Crawlspace
 

Gotta do some work in crawlspace. Lotsa critters naturally live there -
some creepy, some dirty nasty, some poisonous (Recluses & Widows popular
here).

It would be nice if I could bomb the crawlspace like with those ones they
have for inside the house where you set and vacate for a few hours. Trouble
with those is they spray high and I believe must be vertical to empty.

Of course I would not do anything Darwin like go under house and try and
set and back out the 25-30 ft over pipes and ductwork. My thought is
fortunately at the far end is a dryer vent hole in the floor. I could reach
down from in the house and set a couple off. At the near end (near to
crawlspace entrance) I could discharge a couple there.

OK, beat me up here on this not thought through very much scenario.

Duct tape is your friend. Use duct tape to secure the bug bomb on the
end of a long length of PVC pipe so you can activate it and quickly send
it off into the far reaches of the crawlspace.

Appreciate the response Pete. Like I said, the cans have to be vertical
to empty I believe. No matter how I get it in there, if I do that the
spray shoots up (maybe 24") to the subfloor and just drips in a puddle
back in the dirt instead of fogging the airspace. But if a 45 deg tilt
empties 75% of it as a mist/fog then fine but I really don't know.

You can lean 'em over 30 degrees. They may not empty completely but a
couple ought to get the job done.

At a distance like 24" most of the fog should stay airborne and drift.
Since it's a fogger nozzle and not a spray one, it's not going to hit
the subfloor much. Try a regular spray bottle of glass cleaner as an
example and see how much will hit a ceiling 24" away. If you can
identify the position of the pickup tube in the can (usually marked with
a dot on a paint can) and keep that point down, you can get well over 45
degrees and still get full dispensing.

I sent a complaint to abuse at google a week or two ago. The reply I
got was really wierd, almost
like spam itself. I just sent a complaint to abuse at my isp. Mebby
trying that with your isp would
help. I know the isp's try to keep the spam email away, so going with
the isp might bring more success
than going to google.

This is interesting:

I'd be sure to bomb the inside of the house simultaneously with the
crawlspace. Otherwise, you risk the nasties finding an escape path to the
home interior, where they'd live happily ever after.

I've considered something like that Tony. At minimum, spray some kind of
Agent Orange on all room perimeters, pipes, vents, etc.

No no no, agent orange is only for landscaping use, not for bugs...

Send some here, I keep getting weeds in my gravel driveway and roundup,
triox, etc. won't keep them away.

Minimum order is 1 pallet of 4 somewhat corroding drums.

Thanks for all the replies and input.

Followup:

The dasterdly deed was done today. First sprayed all room/closet
perimeters, outlets, vents, etc. Raid does make some short fogger cans
putting 4 in a box. Crawled to my waist through the crawlspace door.
Directed a couple by hand away and deep. Can tilt can pretty far when it
first starts to empty. Gradually tilt more vertical as it empties. Got a
whif and a couple of coughs just as I was backing (quickly!) out the half
body length. Boy I tell ya if anybody tried that going fully in just a
few feet they'd be a gonner.

Went inside and stuck my arm in the dryer vent hole at the far end of the
crawlspace with one and unloaded that on an angle in a circle. Pulled arm
out and covered hole.

Fortunately there was no invasion inside from those trying to escape.
Found a few later on in the day that made it up and croaked. While
working just outside after, I did see one actually severely limping away
next to the foundation.

So, no coroner or ambulance had to be called and no explosion.
