Haha! Hey man I’m sorry about that. Xandyr my senior pittie was crying because he couldn’t hangout while I was filming. I promise no camera person was harmed during filming!
I’m going to be honest and say while technically yes it can be used as a leaf blower, it has this little fan mechanism at the very front of the tube that is vital for the misting action and it is super delicate. I just don’t think it would put up with the same abuse as I put my echo leaf blower through. Hope this helps!
Absolutely, I run water through it after every cycle and when I first got out tried it with water first until I got used to the mixing valves response. Thanks for doing by and hope this helps!
Thanks for stopping by! I will say that this works on pretty much everything MINUS the May flies we get here in New Hampshire - I have yet to find any product that gets rid of those little suckers. The mix I am using does an awesome job on mosquitoes, just keep in mind that with anything "natural" that it isn't going to be as potent as a chemical solution so retreating weekly has been the best method for my personal situation. Hope this helps!
Hey Jeremy, thanks for stopping by. You can buy this one right off of Amazon. It is about half the cost of a Stihl and this will be my third season with it and zero issues
im guessing you have had it about two years now... Are you still happy with it? I ordered mined last week should I add warranty for about 40-50 bucks paid 400 for mined on amazon July 2024
Thanks for stopping by! This is my third summer using it for both mosquitos as well as ants. Couldn’t be happier as I get to apply as often as I want without the hassle of a company spraying just before it rains and saying “oh well, that’s when you were scheduled”. Totally worth the warranty if it is only $50 for an extra year. In 3 years I’ve recouped the cost of the machine and saved about $1500 in application costs. Just use good fuel mix and run it dry when not in use.
Im curious about the natural solutions. I would like to use that at my house and I just purchased this. Do you have a recipe you'd be willing to share?
Hi Jake! Thanks for stopping by. The mixture I use is combination of concentrates similar to Mosquito Magician without the sulfates. Garlic, Citronella, Rosemary, Geraniol, Cederwood, and Lemongrass oils with no filler. I then dilute this on a 12oz to 4.5 gallon ratio as a good starting point. Some seasons we have mutants that require a little more to have an impact and as things calm down less is required as the season progresses. Any of these can be purchased in bullk from an apothecary supply. I have about 2-2.5 acres that I treat so $109 a gallon is a little steep when I can half that if I purchase in bulk and make it as strong as I need. Sorry for the winded answer, I hope this helps somewhat.
did ypu beat the person with the camera to make them film? sounds like crying and moaning in the background

Does it double as a leaf blower?
I’m going to be honest and say while technically yes it can be used as a leaf blower, it has this little fan mechanism at the very front of the tube that is vital for the misting action and it is super delicate.

Can I use water by itself just to set my fogger to the right demensions instead of wasting chemicals?
Absolutely, I run water through it after every cycle and when I first got out tried it with water first until I got used to the mixing valves response. Thanks for doing by and hope this helps!
So how does it work? Does this keep the mosquitoes and hopefully flies away or does this attract more flies?

@@myrandom603 Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Can the sprayer be used for fertilizer and weed control applications?
Hi and thanks for stopping by. You can use it for both of those applications provided there are no solids in either.

Absolutely, a tailgate is the perfect height.
