Hot Shot(R) No-Mess!(TM) Fogger3 With Odor Neutralizer

I used the Hot Shot No Mess Fogger in a basement and garage area that had a bug problem, and it worked exactly as promised. The design really is “no mess”—the dry fog leaves no sticky residue or film on furniture, walls, or floors. After airing out the space, I noticed a dramatic reduction in pests almost immediately, and after a few days, there were no signs of activity. The 3-pack is convenient because one fogger covers a decent area, but it’s nice to have extras for multiple rooms or a repeat treatment if needed. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I appreciated that the canisters lock in place so you don’t have to worry about them tipping over. If you’re looking for an affordable and effective way to tackle a bug problem, this is a solid solution. Just be sure to follow the directions carefully and allow proper ventilation. Highly recommend for peace of mind and a pest-free home.

Used in my car and I don’t notice residue in surfaces or even the glass. Car is still in the garage so I am not confirming that it does not leave any film.

Simple and easy to use and did not leave any real sort of residue, even though it is 100% recommended that you wipe off and clean any surfaces afterwards. Can't be too sure about the effectiveness of it since I only ever saw 1 spider in the pod that it was used for.

Worked great. Killed bugs instantly.

I bought this product more than 10 years ago to kill some spiders in my garage, then never got around to using it. Recently I had a horrible outbreak of Northern Fowl Mites and Red Mites in my chickens. Red Mites are extremely difficult to kill, as they live in the microscopic cracks of the wood in the coop and attack the chickens at night, then leave the chickens and retreat back to the cracks before daylight. The Northern Fowl Mites live on the birds usually, but there was a sudden explosion of mites when the migratory birds came through and infected the chickens, so the coops were thick with both species of mites. I treated both the birds and the coop with all the standard treatments. The treatments on the birds worked, but then they got reinfected every night. It was a losing battle because I couldn't get into every crack within the coop, and the mite population was exploding! Then I thought -- mites and spiders are similar, I'll fog the chicken coop. First thing in the morning I let the chickens out and covered the coop with plastic tarps. I set off 2 foggers inside the tarps, which was about 1/10th the room size that these foggers should cover, so the fog would be very concentrated. Then I sealed the tarps with duct tape so it would be air tight. While that was happening, I treated the chickens again for the mites that were on them. I left the coop sealed for 4 hours, then held my breath and pulled the tarps off. I let it air out for an hour, then took a fan out to thoroughly air out the area and minimize any outgassing from the wood in the coop before the chickens would be put back in for the night. Killed every single mite, with foggers that were more than 10 years old!!! This was almost a year ago, and I haven't had a problem with them since. Bought another box of these in case I need them in the future -- I know they have a very long shelf life.

Twenty-five years ago I used one of these foggers to clean black widows out of my two-car garage, and it worked beautifully. Figured I’d do the same again because I found a black widow in a corner, but when this arrived it certainly felt like a much smaller tin than I remembered. Maybe it was just my memory, right? Taped the doors, made things as air-tight as I could, turns off power to the garage so it wouldn’t accidentally combust, set off a fogger and came back next day. Instead of a residual fog the air was so clear I wondered if I hadn’t set it off correctly. Nope, times empty and that stupid spider was still happily living in the corner. Yes, I could have squished it but I was using him as my control subject, figuring when he croaked then could assume any other vermin would be dead, too. So I set off both of the other foggers and came back the following day. This time the spider WAS dead, but still no residual odor. Now, I guess that might be a “new & improved feature” but I’m still perplexed by how small the cans are and how poorly the first one performed. Would I buy again? No…but I’m not entirely sure anything else is better or if my memory of how big the tins used to be is just wrong.

This fogger works great. It’s easy to use, and the odor neutralizer helps eliminate the smell while killing hidden bugs. I liked that you don’t need to turn off pilot lights, which makes it more convenient and safer to use. Overall, a solid product that does what it claims.

Works great
