Read more about Mosquito fogger and its Best time to be performed :-

Mosquito fogger is a device that is used to repel or terminate insects, mostly mosquitoes. After discovering areas where mosquitoes are living, next thing to do is to choose the most effective time for fogging.
The best time to fog is when the activity of mosquitoes is the highest. Most mosquitoes are active in evenings and only a few species are active during the day. In general, mosquitoes don’t prefer sunlight and are looking for shady areas to hide during the day. The best time for fogging is in early mornings and evenings around dusk. Mostly fogging is done during evenings because during evening hours and around dusk the day temperature has lowered and most of the time the temperature closer to the ground is going to be higher than that in the air. This allows the fog from an insect fogger to settle on the ground easier and therefore the fog is going to stay in the area for longer time. At this time wind is usually died down, which is very important for a successful fogging session.
It is also important to fog in low wind or ideally in windless conditions. Low wind conditions are vital for a successful fogging season, because particles of the fog made by an thermal or cold fogger are very small and can be easily moved by a tiny wind gust. Low wind or windless conditions will allow the fog to stay on the area fogged for a longer period of time, which results in more terminated mosquitoes and will also repeal the mosquitoes from that area for longer time.
