1. A method for operating a fogging device comprising a portable housing, an atomizing disinfectant generator carried by the portable housing, a wireless transceiver carried by the portable housing, and a processor, the method comprising:
communicating via the wireless transceiver within a wireless communications network to initiate a treatment cycle on a coordinated schedule with at least one other fogging device spaced apart within the enclosed area;
increasing a concentration of the atomized disinfectant fluid in the room by causing the atomizing disinfectant generator to dispense atomized disinfectant fluid into the enclosed area along with the at least one other fogging device during an injection phase of the treatment cycle and based upon the coordinated schedule; and
decreasing the concentration of the atomized disinfectant fluid in the room during a dissipation phase of the treatment cycle by remotely operating at least one dissipation device including a dissipation filter medium and spaced apart from the fogging device within the enclosed area via the wireless transceiver and the wireless communications network based upon the coordinated schedule.
