Bug Bombs - How much fogger do you need?Width times length times height will give a room's cubic feet.

Measure the length and width of the room in feet. Multiply the length of the room by the width of the room. Multiply that number by 8 (average ceiling height is 8 feet) to get the volume of the area. This answer gives you how many cubic feet are in the space to be treated. 

  • Example: A room that is 10 feet wide by 12 feet long and 8 feet high is 960 cubic feet. 

If you are treating more than one room, add the cubic feet of each room together.

  • Example: A house with a bedroom (800 cu ft), a living room (1800 cu ft), a kitchen (1000 cu ft), and a bathroom (400 cu ft) would have a total cubic volume of 4,000 cubic feet.

Make sure to only use the amount of fogger that you need. Learn more about other problems to avoid when using bug bombs.
