Tried searching this but the only thing that comes out of search engines anymore is AI slop. I need a garden / insecticide sprayer that can reach 3 stories up so I can hit the soffit areas on my roof. I've got a log home and I need to control carpenter bees. Does anyone know of a sprayer that can hit that sort of height?
I don't think it would work for your application, but these nozzles are all the rage with the soft washers. Maybe you can make a concocotion and use a pressure washer? https://youtube.com/shorts/zekOVdzlfYA?si=moIGAeMG_pZkwg_G https://www.cnrccp.com/
I do have a pressure washer but it seems like that might end up in a somewhat toxic mess all over the place. Might work tho...
How about a backpack aka mosquito blower sprayer? Something pet safe like bifenthrin works well. The houses i spray get the soffit area sprayed no issues.
My main issue with a backpack sprayer is I have other things to spray like herbacide and if I'm spending 200+ on a sprayer I need it to be able to handle multiple chemicals without an in-depth cleaning. Now if there was a backpack sprayer that had interchangeable tanks that would work. EDIT: looks like Milwaukee has a interchangeable tank sprayer but it comes with 2 problems: - Too expensive ($400) - Only shoots 25' which I don't think is enough to cover 3 stories
I have used a cheap compressed air hand pump sprayer by adding a hose between the nozzle and trigger and zip ties and tape to hold it to a few lengths of emt conduit.
Seems like it would be easy enough to make one from a portable air tank and a trip through the crop sprayer isle at the local farm store...might have to use a small 0* pressure washer tip for the nozzle?
The wands on the 12V spot sprayers from TSC will reach out a pretty good distance. Worst case scenario you might have to do it from a ladder.
