When spraying a highly concentrated disinfectant, both all surfaces and hard-to-reach areas are treated. At the same time, the mist saturated with a disinfectant remains in the room for a long time, guaranteeing effective air treatment. Because a highly concentrated product is sprayed with only a small amount of water added, the surfaces of the room are only sprinkled - so no water runs off and the disinfectant can remain on the surfaces longer for optimal results.
Viruses, fungi, bacteria and parasites that multiply in stalls cause various diseases in farm animals. Under unfavorable living conditions and a low level of hygiene, even harmless microbes can multiply greatly and lead to a surge in morbidity in animals.
To maintain productivity, it is imperative to take measures to prevent the proliferation of microbes - regularly carry out sanitary and hygiene measures. A specially designed hygiene control system is required, which, in addition to thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the stalls, ensures that the germ count is maintained at the lowest possible level for the longest possible time.
In crowded places, such as public transport, restaurants, factory kitchens, as well as in places with unfavorable hygienic conditions, such as hospitals, various microbes are present. Germs can be transmitted in different ways, such as airborne infection or contact infection. For a healthy person, a number of microbes pose no danger. However, if a person is at risk or his body is weakened, even infection with harmless microbes can have serious consequences. Severe infectious diseases can spread at tremendous speed, causing outbreaks of epidemics and even pandemics.
To combat germs (you can buy a fog machine for this purpose) transmitted through contact with an infected person or through surfaces (contact infection), it is usually sufficient to disinfect surfaces and hands. To destroy airborne pathogens and disinfect rooms that require sterility, such as operating rooms, special treatment is required. In places where simply wiping surfaces is not enough to disinfect, it is especially important to have a hygiene monitoring system. It should include antimicrobial treatment of surfaces and indoor air and counteract the development of resistance in microbes.
Disinfection of the food industry
The food and processing industries, butchers, bakeries, wholesale and retail grocery stores, hotels and catering establishments place particularly high demands on the quality of products, their shelf life and their microbiological safety. Enterprises of this kind are required to have a professional hygiene control system, which includes thorough, high-quality cleaning and disinfection. Therefore, you may need a disinfection device!
Thanks to their technical characteristics, stationary and portable aerosol generators of hot and cold fog from IGEBA (devices for disinfection of premises) are an ideal solution for disinfection and pest control. Uniform distribution of the disinfectant, constant operating speed and uniform flow of the working solution guarantee efficient distribution of droplets in the air. In this way, not only all surfaces and tools are disinfected, but also the air in the room as a whole.
Disinfectants specially developed for the food industry allow you to quickly and effectively treat even refrigerators. At the same time, the main requirement for the product used is that it is harmless to human health and the quality of food products. When processing, be sure to take into account the rules of use and concentration standards of the product specified by the manufacturer. Let's take a closer look at the possibilities of cold and hot fog for disinfecting rooms and open spaces.
The cold fog treatment method is most widespread due to its safety for people and animals. This allows processing in residential premises and agricultural premises in the presence of animals and is its undeniable advantage.
Working principle of a cold fog generator
Cold fog is air with particles of active substance suspended in it. In the case of disinfection measures, this will be a solution of a disinfectant, for example, virocide; when destroying harmful insects, it will be an insecticide, etc. The size of cold fog droplets is no more than 80 microns. The small size of the droplets makes it possible to distribute the disinfectant cloud evenly over all surfaces, as well as the penetration of fog into all crevices and hard-to-reach places.
This makes cold mist several times more effective than conventional sprays with large droplets. To disinfect premises using cold fog, all kinds of disinfectants are used, as well as agents against insects, microorganisms, fungi and bacteria. During the formation of cold fog, the products do not change their properties, because are not exposed to temperature or chemical influences. Disinfection with cold fog is common in motor transport enterprises, as well as in organizations of the agro-industrial complex - on farms, in greenhouses, and poultry farms. This treatment can be carried out in the presence of animals, it is safe for living organisms.
To carry out disinfection using cold fog, specialized equipment is used - cold fog generators. They differ in power, efficiency and ease of use.
Fine-drop spraying: “proven classic”
Now, a few words about our processing method. In apartments we use fine-droplet (mechanical or electric) sprayers, whose droplet size is slightly larger than that of a “cold fog”. At the same time, we treat selected areas where parasites are concentrated (such as bedbugs, cockroaches, moths, flies, etc.). The fact is that our drug not only destroys parasitic insects, but infects them , and they subsequently infect their relatives. This is a proven, reliable and safe technology, while we are always selecting new drugs, improving the quality of processing. After our treatment, the room must not be left for 3 days, as in the case of “fog,” but only 3 hours, then the apartment must be ventilated.

Types of cold fog generators
There are the following types of cold fog generators: - aerosol; — disk; — pneumatic; - ultrasonic. — Aerosol models are the most common, affordable and structurally simple. The principle of their operation is simple - a stream of air from the compressor breaks the disinfectant liquid into droplets and then the droplets, together with the air stream, come out through the spray nozzle of the generator in the form of fog. Generators of this type can be portable, equipped with shoulder straps, or stationary. Stationary generators are usually installed on a frame with wheels for ease of movement around the treated area. The downside of aerosol generators is the loud sound during operation. This should be taken into account when working in a room where there are animals, because... loud noise may frighten them. In disk generators, cold fog is generated using a rotating disk. The working solution of the disinfectant is supplied to the disk, where it is broken into droplets under the action of centrifugal force, and then the droplets are discharged out in the form of fog using an air jet. The advantage of such a generator is the ability to regulate the size of the fog particles by increasing or decreasing the disk rotation speed. Also, these devices are much quieter than aerosol ones and can be used in the presence of animals without the risk of scaring them. Disc cold fog generators are slightly more expensive than conventional aerosol ones, they are more difficult to repair and service, but they are considered more durable. Ultrasonic cold fog generators are considered the most advanced. In them, the working solution is divided into droplets under the influence of ultrasonic waves. Such generators create fog with the smallest particle size, they are the lightest and quietest, but also the most expensive to repair and maintain.
Where can I buy
The widest range of these products can only be found in the online store. Not all cities have specialized stores that will sell such a narrow profile, and they will still have a more modest selection.
But sites can surprise the user with the variety of products offered among special effects generators. The new products section will introduce the buyer to new arrivals. Filters based on the necessary queries will allow you to choose the most optimal option based on price, manufacturer or specific type of generator.
Popular models usually appear at the very top of the list, so it may be worth paying special attention to them. It is also recommended to read reviews from other customers: they can provide information about the quality production of specific equipment.
On the website, each special effects generator has a detailed description with all the characteristics, as well as an image of the product itself. If necessary, you can consult with the manager or seller.
Upon final selection, a purchase order is submitted. After this, the user waits for the goods to be delivered within the agreed time frame.
Cold mist for disinfection
With the help of cold fog, you can perform a greater number of tasks - from removing unpleasant odors to killing pests, cultivating the soil in a greenhouse before planting, etc. Let's take a closer look at disinfection. Cold mist is very effective when used for disinfection purposes. It helps to quickly and effectively sanitize all surfaces and hard-to-reach places, without causing harm to animals and plants. This treatment method is very effective in disinfecting air and surfaces in enterprises and premises of the agro-industrial complex. Properly selected disinfectants can either completely destroy or significantly reduce the population of bacteria, harmful microorganisms, fungi and viruses that cause animal diseases. Currently, due to the coronavirus pandemic, thorough disinfection of surfaces and premises has become more important than ever. For these purposes, entire aerosol complexes are designed that can treat huge rooms, for example, modular hospitals, in a matter of minutes.

Rules for treating premises with cold fog
When disinfecting rooms and areas using cold fog, certain rules must be followed. If you are using a stationary generator, then you need to consider its location so that it covers the largest possible area. If disinfection is carried out in the presence of animals, the flow of fog coming out of the generator should in no case be directed towards them. Treatment should always begin from the far corners of the room, gradually moving towards the exit. It is important to consider temperature conditions. The ideal temperature for cold fog treatment is between 18 and 29 degrees Celsius. At lower or higher temperatures, the product loses its effectiveness. You also need to control the humidity in the room, because... cold fog treatment can increase it. If it is necessary to maintain certain humidity indicators, then it is necessary to artificially lower it before disinfection begins.

Hot fog disinfection
Hot fog is hot steam that is formed from a disinfectant working solution. The particle size in hot fog is much smaller than in cold fog and is no more than 0.5-20 microns. Drops of such a small size remain in the air for a very long time, slowly settling and completely covering all surfaces and hard-to-reach places with a uniform film, and filling all open spaces. The effect of hot fog continues for several days. To carry out this type of treatment, hot fog generators are used. Their difference from equipment that produces cold fog is only in the presence of a heating element. When the generator is operating, the working solution is exposed to high temperatures for a few fractions of a second, and therefore retains all its disinfecting properties.
Reviews
Below are reviews from people who have already used cold fog to remove insects and are now ready to share their impressions of the procedure:
- Galina: “For three years we have been unsuccessfully fighting against house bugs. We tried various means against them, used a whole range of measures to treat the apartment, but they did not give any result or only got rid of the parasites for a short period of time; even a control procedure did not help. The last time we decided to call specialists to spray cold fog at home, and this became our salvation. On the same day, they swept away whole heaps of dead insects with a broom, and for six months now, they forgot about the problem of being in the neighborhood with them.”
- Svetlana: “After an unsuccessful fight against cockroaches, I decided to use some global method of exterminating them. My brother advised me to call specialists and treat the entire apartment with hot fog, but I still used the cold variety because it is safer and costs much less. When I returned to the apartment after treatment, I was horrified: I thought that this terrible and pungent smell would never disappear. To my reassurance, it disappeared within a few hours after I opened all the windows and doors. The procedure was completely justified, despite the fact that I waited for the cockroaches to return after some time, they disappeared once and for all.”
- Evgeniy: “I decided to spare no expense and buy myself a generator for spraying cold fog to get rid of cockroaches in the apartment. I read that I would then need to leave the premises for several hours, but taking into account the fact that I have pets, we decided to refrain from visiting our house for several days so as not to risk it. After treatment, not only cockroaches disappeared, but also small red ants, which were sometimes found in the kitchen and were the lesser of the evils.”

Operating principle of a hot fog generator
Hot fog generators have a similar operating principle to cold fog generators. Air from the environment is forced inside the generator. The air stream is heated and a working disinfectant solution is injected into it under pressure. Next, the hot stream of fog comes out through the spray nozzle and, under the influence of the ambient temperature, condenses, forming tiny droplets. Just like cold fog generators, hot fog generators can be mobile or stationary. Stationary generators have high power and are capable of processing large areas in a short time.
Hot fog for disinfection
Hot fog is a very popular method for disinfecting premises. It completely destroys all harmful fungi, bacteria, microorganisms and insects. A huge advantage of this method of disinfection is the slow settling of active particles from the air and, as a result, a long time of exposure to negative microflora. The fog also penetrates into all hard-to-reach places, even those where cold fog particles cannot reach. One treatment is often enough to get rid of all pests and microorganisms for a long time. Also, using a hot fog generator, it is very convenient to carry out preventive disinfection treatment without waiting for animal and plant diseases.
Limitations when working with hot fog
Hot fog is much more dangerous than cold fog and requires greater care when handling this method. Hot fog must not be used in residential areas or in the presence of people or animals. It is also harmful to many plant species. Care should be taken when selecting a product to use as a working solution. Not all disinfectants are suitable for working with a hot fog generator, since some of them lose their effectiveness when heated. Information on products suitable for the hot fog generator is indicated in the instructions for it. Also, hot fog should not be used near heating elements, batteries, or switched-on electrical appliances, as in this case it can cause a fire. And thirdly, hot fog must be used with caution; it can cause a fire or explosion if the instructions for use are not followed. Our company has been presenting cold and hot fog generators from the leading manufacturer IGEBA on the Russian market for many years. This brand produces generators of any purpose and power - from small portable ones to heavy-duty stationary ones. We also always have in stock all related products for generators - disinfectants and cleaning compounds, insecticides, odor removers. We also provide ongoing service and warranty repairs for equipment purchased from us. Our experienced specialists will be happy to advise you in detail on any questions that may arise and provide assistance in selecting equipment and related products for it.
How to choose special effects equipment
If you plan to purchase a smoke generator, then first of all you should take into account the area of the room in which the event will take place. For maximum effect, the fog or heavy smoke should fill the entire room or settle on the floor. Therefore, the main role in the choice is played by the power of the equipment and what area it is designed for.
When holding a holiday in a small room, it is more advisable to choose equipment with a power of up to 90 W. But if you need to fill a concert hall with a large area, then the generator power must be more than 3000 W.
Another important criterion is the time required for the equipment to heat up. There are models on sale that are ready to work within 15 minutes after switching on. But you can also purchase generators that take more than 30-40 minutes to warm up.
The equipment can be controlled using a remote control or digital control. Depending on the installation method, you can choose a hanging or floor-standing option.
You should also pay attention to the noise of the equipment. Some models are equipped with air compressors, which affects the volume of their operation. When holding weddings or other events of a similar scale, it is better to opt for quieter equipment.
Similar requirements should be observed for other types of special effects generators - the larger the area where the event takes place, the higher the power the equipment should have.
The cost of equipment for a party also depends on the functionality of the models. The most budget options for home use cost about 4,000 rubles, while powerful, professional and multifunctional ones cost up to 500,000 rubles. The price category depends on the scale of the holiday and how often the device will be used in the future.
Particular attention should be paid to choosing the brand that produces the equipment. The most popular domestic brands are JEM and CHAUVET. Among foreign manufacturers, it is worth noting MLB, Involight and DJ Power (China).
The noted recommendations will allow you to purchase the right device and avoid making the most common mistakes when choosing a product.
