Designed for portability, the Black Flag 190095 allows for treatment of deep yard perimeters where power outlets are unavailable. The unit uses a stainless steel vaporizing coil that resists corrosion from common yard treatments and is paired with an HDPE reservoir for chemical stability. Tests show that it produces a consistent mist with droplets sized between 15 to 25 microns, which helps the application remain suspended in the air long enough to be effective.
To ensure steady performance, it is helpful to allow the unit to pre-heat for two to three minutes while kept in an upright position. Operating the unit at extreme angles can affect the fuel flow to the heating coil. The ignition system uses a piezo-electric spark designed for thousands of uses, though keeping the unit clean of carbon buildup around the orifice every few uses helps maintain a reliable flame.
The housing is constructed from heat-resistant polymers, providing a layer of safety during operation. However, because the unit relies on an open flame for heating, it is best used in calm weather conditions with wind speeds under 5mph and kept clear of flammable structures. A standard 14.1 oz propane cylinder provides over two hours of operation, making it suitable for larger properties.
For those who prefer a similar design but want to compare different branding options, the Repel 190397 offers a comparable 40 oz capacity for campsite or yard use.
Organizing your outdoor maintenance tools is just as important as your indoor space; you can view more options in the propane-powered thermal foggers section to find the right fit for your shed.
