05/16/26
FMC Residual Fogger (Formerly known as the CB PCO Fogger), manufactured by FMC Pro Solutions, is an effective aerosol insecticide bomb formulated with pyrethrins for a quick knockdown of indoor pests like moths or cockroaches and 2 synergists to provide a powerful effect against severe infestations.
Formulated with the active ingredient esfenvalerate (piperonyl butoxide) 0.100%, which provides a maximum flushing and kill of targeted insects like rice weevils from deep cracks and crevices. Additionally, this ingredient creates a 30 day residual effect within various indoor sites such as non-food and food areas.
FMC Residual Fogger comes as a convenient fogger (bomb) to quickly eliminate and repel insects up to 5,000 sq. ft. from their breeding and nesting sites. With its ready to use design and active ingredients this fogger creates a cost-effective way to treat large infested areas at one time.
Tools Needed
Tools are not needed to use the FMC Residual Fogger. To safely set off the fogger some newspapers, a table or something sturdy to sit the can on will be needed.
How to Use
- Step 1: The FMC Residual Fogger is meant to be applied indoors and can cover an unobstructed area of 5,000 cubic feet. Determine the cubic footage of the area you are treating by measuring (in feet) the area length, width and height and multiplying the values (length x width x height = cubic footage).
- Step 2: Prior to fogging in a residential site, remove all pets out of the home, cover fish tanks, remove pet food and water before activating the fogger. Remove and cover dishes, utensils, food processing appliances, and cover kitchen counter tops. All doors and windows must be closed.
- Step 3: Place several layers of newspaper on a stand or table in the middle of the room. Lock the valve on the can in the open position and place it in the middle of the newspapers. Do not set the Residual Fogger can near heat sources, pilot lights, or open flames.
- Step 4: Wait 2 hours and ventilate the room for a half hour before re-entering. Do not stay indoors in any part of the home while the fogger is activated.
Where to Use

The FMC Residual Fogger can be used in residential homes, apartments, manufacturing plants, storage, packing plants, offices, locker rooms, and other areas where food is not out in the open and humans and animals are not present.
