Fogger

A fogger is any device that creates a fog, typically containing an insecticide for killing insects and other arthropods. Foggers are often used by consumers as a low cost alternative to professional pest control services. The number of foggers needed for pest control depends on the size of the space to be treated, as stated for safety reasons on the instructions supplied with the devices. The fog may contain flammable gases, leading to a danger of explosion if a fogger is used in a building with a pilot light or other naked flame.

Foggers are also used in aeroponics, a branch of modern agriculture.

Fogger composition

Total release foggers (TRFs) (also called "bug bombs") are used to kill cockroaches, fleas, and flying insects by filling an area with insecticide. Most foggers contain pyrethroid, pyrethrin, or both as active ingredients. Pyrethroids are a class of synthetic insecticides that are chemically similar to natural pyrethrins and have low potential for systemic toxicity in mammals. Pyrethrins are insecticides derived from chrysanthemum flowers (pyrethrum). Piperonyl butoxide and n-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide often are added to pyrethrin products to inhibit insects' microsomal enzymes that detoxify pyrethrins. To distribute their insecticide, foggers also contain aerosol propellants.

Falling

by: Voyager

One by one
We are blinded to forget
All the things that we wish we had said
Stare right into the darkness into which we ride
Far too late - for the fact that we're alive
And we're all falling down through the window of the world
No one cares no one's falling with us
Call for help in the void, but there's no one here to sell
You a place on the throne of your time
Stare right into the darkness into which we ride
Far too late - for the fact that we're alive
And we're all falling down through the window of the world
No one cares no one's falling with us
Call for help in the void, but there's no one to sell
