Default Natural Gas Mosquito Fogger

Has anyone converted the common propane style mosquito fogger to natural gas?

I have had it to the eyelids with these demons this year and would like to get a fogger going, have a spot that I can easily hook it to natural gas, be so much better than propane convenience wise.

Thanks in advance.

Are you asking about hand-held mosquito foggers, or, the bigger mosquito traps? I am guessing traps...My literature says trap must be placed;

-Between the area you want to protect and the area where mosquitoes are resting or breeding

-At least 30 feet from the area you want to protect

-Upwind from the mosquitoes' resting or breeding area

-In an area without high grass, hedges, or other barriers so the carbon dioxide can spread

-In a cool, damp or shady area, rather than a hot, dry, sunny one

And, from what I understood the propane is burned to generate CO2 to mimic exhaled breath. Natural gas is chemically different from propane.

McGyver could do it, but, why bother?

Spray all your grass and trees with malathion. It will last about 3-5 weeks and works awesome. Only downside is your supposed to stay of it for 24hrs. It’s cheap to and available at home hardware. Will also get rid of any unwanted bugs to
