FAQs
How long do I need to stay out of the house after using the fogger?
You should vacate the treated area for a minimum of 2-3 hours after activating the fogger. Following this, ventilate the area by opening windows and doors for at least 30-60 minutes before re-entry.
Is the fogger safe for pets and children once the area is ventilated?
Yes, once the area has been thoroughly ventilated for the recommended time and any hard surfaces that children or pets might frequently touch have been wiped down, it is generally safe. Always ensure pets and children are completely removed from the area during treatment.
How many foggers do I need for my home?
The Johnsons 4Fleas Room Fogger comes as a twin pack. Each fogger treats a specific volume or area (check the product label for exact coverage details). For average-sized rooms, one fogger may suffice. For larger open-plan areas or multiple rooms, using both foggers or additional packs might be necessary. Ensure you calculate the volume of each room.
Do I need to clean my house after using the fogger?
It's recommended to wipe down food preparation surfaces, dining tables, and other hard, non-porous surfaces with a damp cloth after ventilation. Light vacuuming of carpets and upholstery a day or two after treatment can help remove dead insects and assist in breaking the flea life cycle.
Can I use this fogger if I have fish tanks or other caged pets?
No. All aquariums, terrariums, and small caged pets (including birds, hamsters, etc.) must be removed from the treatment area or thoroughly covered and their air pumps turned off during treatment and until the area is fully ventilated.
How often can I use the Johnsons 4Fleas Room Fogger?
The product provides up to 7 months of protection from developing flea eggs. A single treatment is usually sufficient. If a severe infestation persists, a second treatment may be considered after 7-10 days, but always refer to the specific instructions on the product label for maximum frequency.
Does this fogger kill all stages of fleas?
It kills adult fleas on contact and contains an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) that prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing into biting adults, effectively breaking the flea life cycle. It does not explicitly mention killing pupae, which are resistant to many treatments, hence the recommendation for follow-up vacuuming or repeat treatment if necessary.
Will this fogger stain my furniture or carpets?
When used as directed, the fogger is formulated not to stain water-safe furnishings, carpets, or fabrics. However, it's always prudent to test a small, inconspicuous area if you have particularly delicate materials or are concerned.
Troubleshooting
Still seeing fleas after treatment
It's normal to see some fleas for a few days as existing pupae hatch. The IGR will prevent new fleas from reproducing. Ensure all instructions were followed, especially thorough vacuuming before and after treatment, and treating all affected areas simultaneously. Consider a second application after 7-10 days if the problem persists, as the twin pack allows for this.
Fogger didn't activate or stopped prematurely
Ensure the activation button was fully pressed down until it locked into place. If it stopped prematurely, the mechanism may have failed; do not attempt to reactivate. Dispose of according to local regulations and replace. Ensure the room temperature is within recommended operating limits for aerosols.
Strong chemical odor persists after ventilation
Thorough ventilation is crucial. Keep windows and doors open for a longer period (e.g., several hours) with fans running if possible. Wiping down hard, non-porous surfaces with a damp cloth can also help reduce residual odor. Ensure air filters in HVAC systems are clean.
Pets show signs of discomfort or illness after re-entry
Immediately remove pets from the treated area. Consult a veterinarian and provide them with the product packaging. Ensure the area was adequately ventilated for the recommended time before pet re-entry, and that pet bedding was properly treated or washed.
Fogger left residue on surfaces
A fine, almost invisible residue can sometimes occur, especially on very glossy surfaces or if placed too close. This is generally harmless. Wipe down any affected hard surfaces with a damp cloth. For fabrics, test in an inconspicuous area if concerned; usually, light vacuuming or wiping will suffice.

Setup Instructions
Preparation: Before activating, ensure all people and pets (including fish and birds) are removed from the treatment area.

Close all windows and exterior doors.
Placement: Place the fogger(s) on a raised, protected surface (e.g., a chair or table covered with newspaper) in the center of the room to be treated. For larger rooms or open-plan areas, use both foggers as directed, spacing them appropriately.
Activation: Follow the specific instructions on the packaging for activating the fogger. Typically, this involves pressing down a button until it locks into place.
Evacuation: Immediately leave the room and close the door, staying out for at least 2-3 hours (or as specified on the label).
Compatibility Notes
Surfaces: The fogger is designed to be safe for use on carpets, rugs, soft furnishings, and pet bedding without staining when used as directed.
Effectiveness: Works effectively in enclosed indoor spaces to control fleas, ticks, ants, cockroaches, earwigs, silverfish, bristletails, centipedes, spiders, and beetles.
Care (Post-Treatment)
Ventilation: After the waiting period, open all windows and doors to ventilate the treated area thoroughly for at least 30-60 minutes before re-entry.
Cleaning: Wipe down hard surfaces that may come into contact with food, such as kitchen counters and dining tables, before use. Light vacuuming of carpets and upholstery a day or two after treatment can help remove dead insects and dislodge remaining eggs for improved efficacy.
