Guest guest Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hello Kirsty, 2% is used as a stock solution. It is too strong to use in a fogger. Stick to the 0.1% strength for fogging. Fogging with stabilized chlorine dioxide is used to control microbials. There is a residual left after fogging. As moisture, in the form of humidity, keeps the solution from drying out, it will release trace amounts of chlorine dioxide as it encounters microbes that are slightly acidic. I am not sure where flea eggs fit into this, but it may be worth a test to try it out. When dealing with something larger than microbials, chlorine dioxide gas is more effective.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 That's an interesting thought Kirsty - I'd like something to do regular clean ups on my outdoor cat enclosure area which has a synthetic carpet like matting on the floor. So I'm all ears on whether the chlorine dioxide can be used that way to destroy fleas/larvae/eggs. Diatomaceous earth reputedly will do the job and borax will too but I don't really want fine grey powder (diatomaceous earth) through my cream Ragdoll coats and if I use the borax (1/3 cup per bucket of hot water) I would need to make it into a liquid, wet the matting, then wait for it to dry. Summer wouldn't be too bad, but even in our warm winters it could take days to dry properly. I've also discovered a company, Auschem, in Australia that sells the flakes/crystals but as yet haven't had a reply to my email.
