Can I use this sprayer for roundup? Roundup is relatively abrasive and I reade somewhere that one should use a diaphram sprayer for roundup instead of a piston. I was looking at this sprayer versus the solo backpack 425. Opinions? Thanks

Have been using it exclusively for Roundup since I purchased. Still going strong. Has lasted longer than any other sprayer I've owned.

I haven't use that before. I like it a lot. I been using lime pellets and going to use to put bug control product down next.

I've gotten in to a running dialogue with Bonide on what plants its safe to use on. They say its safe for all plants. Thing is, I used it on my Epiphyllums and several weaks later they did not look well at all. They are slowly coming back. I did see leaf drop and leaf discoloration on other plants after using it. I can say there are no bugs. I hate dealing with scale which is the reason I decided to give it a try.

I use a pump up sprayer and my lawn is Centipede. I was overrun with nut sedge after a hurricane and it took 4 applications to destroy the weed. That was over a year and a half time frame. Just now we are using it once again for a wild violet that blew in during wind gusts. So far one application has withered the outer leaves only I see fresh shoots starting. Unfortunately the day I spayed this area had a cloud burst, where else but over my lawn. I hope someone who has St Augustine will share their findings with you. As far as the Image goes in controlling weeds, I don't use anything else. This product works if directions are followed as stated on label. Scots001.

It is rather granular. I think it would be a lot of trouble to completely dissolve it so it might clog your sprayer. Miracle Gro makes a cheap lawn sprayer that works well with it. That's what I use.

Most leaves have a thin waxy layer called 'cuticle' that covers the surface; sometimes its thinner, sometimes its thicker. Add a drop or two of dish detergent to each gallon of spray. It helps the solution 'stick' to leaf so it can be absorbed. I haven't used this brand of glyphoste before, but assuming its the same as Roundup, it will kill your weeds and this tip should help.

It is concentrated. I mixed 2 ounces per gallon into a 2-3 gallon sprayer but you can mix it hotter if you like. I am not sure if I filled the sprayer 2 or 3 times but I do know this is what I sprayed:(45'X7' area), gravel hill at the back of our yard (80'X4'), perimeter around deck pad (14'X14'), gravel area around home (12'X12' appox.) and a few other small areas. It took almost a week before I saw evidence of the product working. For years I used the strongest Round Up sold at local stores but the last 2 years the weeds would return and I was sick of spraying as often as I had to or pulling them by hand. Looked online and read this is the strongest Round Up sold so I bought it. Will see what spring brings. I live in upstate NY so everything is dormant right now.

Yes, I use one of those battery operated Eagle-1, 5 gallon aprayer. I put in 3 gallons of water and then add the Roundup Concentrate, follow dilution directions, I use 2.5 oz per gallon and top off with water to the 5 gallon mark. This is to eradicate weeds.

If you use bleach with this unit you can damage O-rings, fittings and internals of the sprayer handle. I would advice against it. It is not design for this. On the other hand the ratio is very important, you may get by with light use. But if you need a sprayer only for this use this is not the one. Good luck.

I'd try going to the Hudson website. However, be sure to ask if the pump is made to use the chemicals you are using. They told me that it is not intended to be used for herbicides like Roundup.

Search amazon for "non-aerosol sprayer" I have a red one from here, a blue one from another retailer on amazon and a green one from napa (expensive!)

There is a informational booklet in your order for which tip to use for various applications. If you didnt get the booklet, I would try each tip with water in the sprayer first to determine which gives you the desired spraying radius your looking for. All th tips will work with pesticides, it just depends how much coverage your looking for, ie.. a narrow spray, medium, or wide spray.....

I did not use Avent bottles so I can't vouch for them firing. With that said I did use a combo of tommy tippee and dr. Browns. Many times because of the size of the tommy tippee and all the parts with dr browns it did take 2+ cycles to do everything. However even if yor able I do 4 at a time they are done in an hour so I was okay with that. Hope that helps somewhat.Good luck :)

I don't know. My husband had no problems. Was your sprayer clean before using this? If you had something else in there and forgot to clean it out, it might have caused a problem. Did you make sure it was mixed? Also, did you make sure you had the right amount mixed in the sprayer. These are the only suggestions I have. It worked great for us.

my question why? get a HVLP sprayer. Although this post is very old i will still give my 2 cents. if you get sprayable dip then you fine. if you get the unthinned dip you need a 50/50 cut with whatever thinner you want to use. Google what you should use for your results. HVLP sprayers will give you a much better/smoother result

I have used that same sprayer with no problem. When I add the Viper I always put a little extra in. Shake the sprayer while using to keep it mixed up.

Have used Round up and similar products over the years a lot for weeds and most unwanted veg and have had good success with 2 oz. per gallon. Helps to spray when driest and hottest and going to stay that way for awhile. Takes a few days to take effect after spraying.
