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've done it in a 3 foot high crawlspace with 2 bombs. The mist is so fine that it'll spread just fine. One at each end of the house is plenty.

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.

maybe everyone should e mail them a catalog request, after several million catalogs go out and no sales they might stop spamming us

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...
