Effective Insect Control with Automatic Fogging Systems
Periodic fogging maintains minimal insect populations and prevents insects from rapidly reproducing and spreading throughout the plant environment.  An integrated management approach using sanitation and fogging will yield a consistent reduction in insect population. Fog with an insecticide and Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) for both immediate kill of insects and residual control of the immature life stages of insects. Eliminate product rejection and customer complaints.  An installed Automatic Fogging System often costs less than one fumigation.Â
Let Entech make a no-cost, no-obligation survey of your facility to submit a quotation for a cost-effective way to control insects.  Quotations include cost to fog each area of your plant and 12-month, no interest payment terms. Re-entry after fogging is normally less than 8 hours. Fogging time is normally less than 30 minutes.
USDA Report on Entech Fogging System
See a Published USDA report on the efficacy of the Entech Automatic Fogging System conducted by a Research Entomologist at the USDA, ARS, Grain Marketing and Production Research Center, Manhattan, KS.
Automatic Fogging System Overview
Operation
The system is controlled from one central location. Insecticide is transfered from a 55-gallon drum to overhead fogging assemblies located throughout the plant or warehouse. Compressed air is used to atomize the insecticide and provide a dry ULV fog. The system is started by inserting a key or with automatic delayed activation. The warehouse or plant may be fogged all at one time or as seperate fogging zones. Controls can be a PLC or a simple timer for smaller systems.
Supply
Insecticide for the Automatic Fogging System is supplied in a standard 55 gallon drum at the one central control location.
Chemical Transfer
Insecticide is transferred through stainless steel distribution lines to the fogging areas using a low-pressure, air-operated pump.
Security
The system is secured with a key start switch to prevent unauthorized activation.
Safety
The system ensures no personnel exposure to insecticide. Precision timing guarantees accurate insecticide amounts are delivered to each fogging zone.
Air Distribution Lines
The system uses durable, non-corrosive, maintenance-free PVC pipes for air distribution. These pipes are only pressurized when fogging, making them resistant to corrosion.
Insecticide Distribution Lines
Stainless steel tubing, rated for 2,000 lbs., is used for insecticide distribution. The system includes a test cycle to check the integrity of these lines at every start-up.
Ease of Use
Entech's labels ensure that empty insecticide drums do not require triple rinsing, simplifying maintenance

Automatic Fogging System Benefits​
Discover the benefits of automatic fogging systems for efficient, safe, and controlled insecticide distribution.
Cost Savings
Eliminate distributor price mark-up. Buy direct from the blender of the
insecticide and the owner of the EPA registered lables. Entech is the largest
supplier of fogging insecticides to the food industry in the U.S.
Entech can save you hundreds of dollars on a 55 Gallon drum of insecticide.
If you are purchasing insecticide from a distributor or Pest Control Company
you are paying far more than Entech’s prices. Check Entech’s prices on 55- gallon
drums, 5-gallon pails, and 4 x 1 gallon cases of insecticides.
Improved Insect Control
Use fogging insecticide for immediate kill of exposed insects combined with
an Insect Growth Regulator for residual control of immature life stages of
insects (egg, larva, pupa). Diacon IGR, (S)-methoprene, may be fogged along
with the insecticide at a minimal additional cost while safely providing
residual insect control. Diacon IGR is so safe the EPA has exempted it from
food additive tolerence levels. Diacon IGR may be added directly to any food
commodity. See a published USDA report, on this web site, that states 1.0%
pyrethrins fogging insecticide combined with s-methoprene could be an
alternative to fumigation when used with the Entech Automatic Fogging
System.
Readily Available for use when needed
The Entech Automatic Fogging System is readily available to fog without
the need to schedule an outside company or to set up portable fogging
equipment. You don’t have to skip a fogging due to scheduling difficulties
or time restraints.
Greatly Reduce Down Time when Fogging
With the Entech Fogging System you can fog the entire plant or warehouse
in 30 miutes or less using the maximum use rate of insecticide. It’s best
to always use near the maximum insecticide use rate to kill all of the insects.
. Food plants and outside PCO often have to cut back on the amount of
​ insecticide used to minimize down time while fogging and thus the insect
kill suffers.
Training Provide by Entech
Most states do not require any license or certification for regular food
plant employees to use Entech’s general use, non-restricted inscticides,
in-house. Entech provides on site training and a manual with the
information required by regulatory agencies and outside auditors like BRC. Entech also provides a training program on a USB drive.
On-Going Warranty on Automatic Fogging System
Entech provides an on-going warranty on the Automatic Fogging System with
the continued use of Entech insecticides. The warranty includes parts
replacement at no charge and, if required, on site servide at no charge.
Entech pledges to provide an insecticide price competitive with
any insecticide supplier in the U.S.
