Angela,

The product on this page is nothing but a hose end sprayer so I’m not sure which one you’re asking about.

But if you review our Tree Frog article, you’ll see several listed. Your best option is the Pest Rid. Spray it on any plant the tree frogs will immediately leave. It can be applied with any standard pump sprayer and treatments generally last a month.

For tall trees, use a fogging machine to apply it.

For reaching 30-40 feet up, go with this model:

Marilyn,

No. In fact, we’re not aware of any hose end sprayer capable of spraying such a concentrated end mixture. Think about it. If you want a 50/50 mixture, you would need to add 1/2 gallon of bleach to 1/2 gallon of water. So even if this sprayer had a 1 gallon holding tank and you filled it with bleach, you would need the sprayer to disperse the entire amount by spraying just 2 gallons of water which it cannot do. In fact it will take 20 gallons of water to empty the tank so for every gallon of water you spray, it will only have about 1.5 oz of bleach.

More importantly, bleach won’t control mold. At best it might turn it light (bleach will turn many things white and take away the color) but it won’t kill it. And the super low PH the bleach produces on the surface of the roof will allow the mold and algae to grow back very fast once the bleach is gone (which is usually within a few hours).

So if you want the mold and algae killed and to stay away a lot longer, go with the Mold Blaster we have listed here:

Mold Blaster: www.bugspraycart.com/sanitizer/liquid/mold-blaster-gal

It only takes a few oz of Mold Blaster per gallon of water and it will both kill and prevent mold/algae from coming back a lot longer. Typically you’ll only need to use it once a year and you won’t be seeing anything new growing if you follow that maintenance program. And you can use the sprayer above to make the application too.

Jessica,

The general rule on how high it will reach is based on how high your hose will spray when using any standard spray nozzle. This sprayer will use the power of your water pressure so the reach will vary from house to house. At my home, the pressure it quite high so I can spray it upwards about 30 feet. And with a little extra effort, almost 35 feet. But my parents old home had such weak water pressure, the hose could barely spray 15 feet.

Tiffany,

Not sure we understand how you “think” its works but we can tell you how it actually works. Its really quite simple.

In this case, if you add 5 tablespoons of the product you want to use and then add water to the sprayer so it fills to the 5 gallon line, when you spray it all out, you will have sprayed 5 gallons of water/chemical. At NO TIME WILL MORE WATER GO INTO THE SPRAYER.

This sprayer works when connected to a hose and as the water passes through the top of the sprayer, the water will siphon out the contents you mixed inside. It does so at the proper rate regardless of how fast or slow you turn on your water pressure so it works the same for every home regardless of water pressure or water flow speed. To check, you can add water to the 5 gallon line, hook it to your hose and spray into 5 gallon buckets. By the time you fill the 4th bucket, the water in the sprayer will be gone.
On a side note, which product of ours would you be using at this rate? 5 Tablespoons is not something we normally recommend; its always in oz per gallon or gallons of water.
On another side note, the 5 tablespoons you mentioned; was that for 1,000 sq/ft? 5,000 sq/ft? This is super important as you must apply the proper amount of chemical over the sq/footage we recommend if you are to get desired results. What most people fail to understand is that as long as you’re doing that, its not important how much water you use. So you can use 1 gallon, 5 gallons 10 gallons or more of water as water is only the carrier. Whats important is the chemical so as along as the right amount is applied over the sq/footage you want to treat, you’ll have results.

Marsha,

If you refer to our cluster fly article, you’ll see the product you’ll need is our Maxxthor which can be sprayed on turf, plants, house siding, etc.

Marsha,

Not sure what you mean by “who” but we use FedEx, USPS and UPS every day so any of those depending on where we’re shipping, what you’re ordering, etc.

Great! This is great! Works exactly as explained. I was hesitant at first, but once I turned it on it was great. The only downside is once you hook it up to the hose, if the hose kinks you can’t undo it by twisting the side with the sprayer because the pesticide comes out the top. I also wish the on/off switch was easier to use. The measuring instructions were a little confusing, but actually spot on – I just didn’t realize how slow the sprayer sends out the chemicals. WEAR GLOVES AND EYE COVERINGS.
