Added a new Ridgid Backpack sprayer to my yard tool arsenal
Posted By RichC on August 15, 2024
I’ve done my own foundation barrier and yard insect and weed spraying by using the 1 and 2 gallon pump up and pull behind yard sprayers for my entire life. Really they have worked fine and with a little cleaning have been an easy way to control bugs and weeds … but tools are tools and the temptation for me is too much. 😊
I’ve contemplated replacing the older and larger of the two pump up sprayers I use with a backpack sprayer that uses the 18 volt rechargeable batteries after buying some insecticide and vegetation killer from DoMyOwn.com.
So earlier this month I purchased the Ridgid Sprayer (hanging on wall photo) and so far it is working incredibly well for spraying the insect barrier. Next will probably be to control the inch worms that are showing up; I’ll hit hit a few areas of sod with Permethrin SFR to since I’m seeing some white moths fluttering around when I’m mowing the backyard. Stay tuned.
Noticed that the Ridgid batteries are getting larger too (see tomorrow’s post) … unfortunately they aren’t getting much cheaper.
