looking for a gas skeeter blaster. Stihl, solo, invatech, tomahawk....... What is the good, bad and ugly on these. Thanks Keith
Never been around these. My instinct says look at Echo, but I see that they only sell those to Countries without arbitrary emissions orders. If I needed one, from your list I'd be looking at Stihl and Solo. No Solo dealers around me and I feel like maybe a fogger might be cantankerous at times (nozzles, valves, orifices and whatnot? That'd have me looking at Stihl.
I think I will look into the Stihl. I'm surprised echo is not in the game. Skeeters are going nuts with all the rain. Thanks for the replies!
Their units probably run best since we're not allowed to have them. They do make two models. They are found on the Echo Global website.
I have a Chinese Invatech (old model) and it's been fine for 6+ years that I've had it. I think I only paid $249 for it years ago. Mine holds 5 gallons where the new version holds less I believe. I had to replace the valve that controls the flow of product though. I have been wanting to upgrade to a Stihl or some other model as I'm sure I am on borrowed time with this cheap thing I have. I bought it not knowing how well spraying would work. I use it with Talstar P. Works GREAT for mosquitos and ticks along with a bunch of other stuff.
Well I pulled the trigger on a stihl SR-430. Sure looks like something from ghost busters. Take a while for the sting to go away. Now it's going to rain for a few days........
unfortunately, yes. I called the company before I bought and asked them where it was made. They told me Canada. When I received it, I could tell right away it was Chinese.
