Thermal Fogging (Routine fogging harmful to health)
Has thermal fogging been recommended as a solution to the ever-rising mosquito menace at your office building? It is a misconception that fogging is one of the best solutions to get rid of mosquitoes.

Thermal fogger solution uses diesel as a carrier for the insecticide. This makes the constituents of the fog fat soluble. These small droplets can easily be absorbed into the body.
