Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've purchased lots of stuff from Amazon and this sprayer is one of the best items so far! A must have if you're looking to cover a large area (or a small area) thouroghly (and quickly) with liquid chemicals. I've been using a 4 gallon backpack pump sprayer for application of bug killer and weed killer outside my home and cabin. The backpack sprayer was nice but #1 is was a little heavy. #2 It was cheaply made (especially the shoulder straps) #3 It didn't spray a large enough volume for large areas...it took forever. #4 Always had to stop to refill it. This sprayer suffers from none of the above issues. All you need is a garden hose and the chemical. I used this sprayer at my cabin to apply Talstar Pro for ants in yard, mosquitoes and anything that crawls. I sprayed the ENTIRE yard, deck, picnic table, foundation to cabin and even the exterior walls (siding) Took no time at all, sprayer didn't leak and it seems to be heavy duty. Quality made with brass fittings....not that plastic junk you get at the hardware store. The only issue I had was finding hoses in garage to put together to make it long enough! Lol. You fill it up with chemical, connect a hose, select a mixing rate between 1 & 10 and start spraying! I played around with the mixing rate. The sweet spot for my chemical was 5. If I couldn't see some residue in the water after an area was sprayed, I made it stronger. I started at 2 and ended up at 5. Make sure you put the selector on whole numbers only...do not put them in between where "half" numbers would be. If you don't keep it on whole numbers, it mixes at the full rate 10. Make sure to clean/flush thoroughly after you're done using it so it doesn't plug up!
