Thermal fogging is a method often used to remove pests or odors left behind by smoke damage. However, it can also be a safe, effective way to disinfect surfaces. Disinfectants and thermal foggers have gone hand-in-hand since the late 1960s. As a disinfecting services company in Metro Atlanta, Virus Busters offers thermal fogging to remove bacteria, pathogens, and viruses, including COVID-19. We provide our disinfecting services to both residential and commercial customers. Our disinfecting team follows all protocol outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to avoid cross-contamination, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Our certified technicians wear nitrile gloves, N-99 respiratory masks, biohazard suits, goggles, and protective shoe wear. If you’d like to learn more about the proven science behind thermal fogging, we encourage you to contact us!

Thermal fogging differs from cold fogging in that it uses steam sterilization to heat and penetrate surfaces and fabrics. A thermal fogger device atomizes spray solutions via heat and kinetic energy release until it creates a fog that can be sprayed into the air or on hard surfaces. Steam disinfecting involves steam, pressure, temperature, and the disinfecting solution. The disinfecting solution is pumped into the tank, and then the air is pressurized by the nozzle until it can be sprayed as a mist. Virus Busters infuses the water with our nontoxic disinfecting solution to produce the best results.
A common misconception about thermal fogging is that it heats or burns the chemicals being atomized. Although this may be true with one specific type of backyard fogger commonly used for mosquito control, it is not how thermal fogging is used with disinfectants. The disinfectant solution applied by our thermal foggers doesn’t remain heated long enough to be affected by the heat.

Many people prefer thermal fogging over cold fogging because it produces a thicker cloud of fog. This makes it easier to see and monitor its progress during application. Because you can see where the fog is, you can aim it towards the targeted areas with more precision and less difficulty. Not only does this give the customer peace of mind being able to see what’s being done, but it’s also easier for our employees to avoid direct contact with the fog itself.

Since thermal fogging has proven effective at disinfecting surfaces for many other pathogens and viruses, it stands to reason it may be able to disinfect against the coronavirus (COVID-19) as well. Various studies have shown that thermal fogging, combined with other disinfecting methods, produces superior results over the alternative alone. Because the heated fog can get into crevices and other hard-to-reach areas, it can disinfect large spaces, which is crucial during a public pandemic. It can also reach airborne pathogens, which is also beneficial in the fight against eliminating COVID-19. Virus Busters usually combines various disinfecting methods to produce the best results. Our field technicians also wipe down all high-touch areas, including restrooms, doorknobs, stair rails, and light switches, per the CDC’s recommendations.
