Overview

Cutter Backyard Bug Control Outdoor Fogger is an aerosol can that releases a mist of insecticide over a patio, deck, picnic area or backyard. It works on contact, so insects are hit directly as the cloud spreads.

Hitting biting insects on contact clears an outdoor space after a few minutes, and the pack arrives with a spare can. The limits are the volume each can treats and the list of ants it does not reach. It is a spray-and-wait product, so calm air gives the cleanest result.

Who it's for

Homeowners preparing a patio or lawn for a get-together who want flying pests cleared on the spot. Anyone dealing with the excluded ant species, or needing protection on the body, should use a different product.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Kills mosquitoes, gnats and flies on contact
  • Two cans in the pack
  • Covers deck, patio and picnic areas
  • Aerosol, no mixing or equipment
Cons
  • Excludes carpenter, fire, pharaoh and harvester ants
  • Reapply limited to once per day
  • Treats only a limited space per can
  • Works best in calm air

Performance notes

The aerosol releases a mist of tetramethrin and phenothrin that kills flying insects when it reaches them. Spraying in calm air, or with a slight breeze at your back, helps the cloud settle over the area instead of drifting away. Allow a few minutes for the product to work, and repeat no more than once per day.
