Abstract: A hand held thermal electric fogging device is disclosed comprising a housing having a barrel-like connector provided thereon which is adapted to receive the valve means of an aerosol container containing the insecticide/oil solution. A plunger is movably mounted on the connector and is movable from a normal inoperative position to an operative position to open the valve means on the aerosol container so that the contents of the container are supplied to the discharge outlet of the connector. A tubular heat shield or manifold is connected to the housing and extends therefrom and has a coiled conduit positioned therein. The inlet end of the coiled conduit is connected to the outlet end of the connector so that the insecticide/oil solution is supplied to the interior of the conduit. A spray nozzle is provided on the discharge end of the conduit. An electrical heating means is positioned in the central area of the coil for heating the solution in the coiled conduit.
