Can use this in my Ortho garden sprayer? It has a 1 oz dilution setting per gallon of water and would be easier than climbing a ladder to reach bees

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. And it will definitely kill bees. I would suggest you do it either in the evening or very early in the morning.

We use a sprayer also instead of using a ladder. This way we can get into the eaves with no problem. We have been using the Viper spray for 4 years now and is the only kind we use. Works Great!

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.

The label on the bottle contains the correct dossage per gallon or dial setting for hand held sprayer. A little goes a long way. Just note that this chemical is normally used early in the growing season when weeds are just emerging and is generally not used during the heat of summer.

If talstar clogs your sprayer then this probably will too. That said you might want to switch to a bigger nozzle. You don't want to atomize this stuff, just put out a stream or mist to dry on a surface. It will minimize the amount you breathe in and maximize the effectiveness

Will you be standing on Ladders? I used this sprayer for weeds and grass on the ground. The spray and stream I would say goes 3-4 feet from the nozzle. To spray trees you may want a sprayer with battery or power source that compresses the tank to have a long spray. For trees you may want a "fogger". Me personally I would NOT use this to spray 40 foot tall trees with this. Yes, our 15-20 foot pine tree as when I reach over head my arm is 3 feet long and the wand is greater than 3 feet long and the spray is 3-4 feet, so can spray about 9 feet high. When I stand on ladder then could reach the top of 15 foot pine tree. Will you be standing on Ladders? I used this sprayer for weeds and grass on the ground.

You could, but I would not use foliar spray. I would drench the potting soil with 1 teaspoon / per gallon.

I really don't think so. I have a large spray bottle that I have continued to use over time that has been diluted and it seems fine to me. I mix a couple of drops in my watering can that I water my outdoor flowers with this time of year and the plants are really healthy and growing!

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.

I wish I could provide a good answer to your question but I really don't know much you should dilute it. I'd suggest you contact your local County or State Agricultural Extension Agent to determine the correct mix of this herbicide & water to spray on a specific plant. I used it full strength (no dilution) when I applied it to the Chinese Tallow trees I was trying to kill, and from the results I've seen in a very short time, I can say it's a VERY STRONG & effective herbicide. It's so strong that it might have been effective (in my case) if I'd diluted it 50-50 water & herbicide. Regardless of how much it's diluted, you'll need to use extra care to avoid having it contact ANY nearby vegetation that you don't want to kill. Wish I could have been more helpful.

It worked well with homemade fertilizer, which I assume is much thicker than liquid cleaner. I put a PVC pipe in the bucket I was siphoning from so I could make sure the liquid was siphoned off. When I noticed the level was not dropping, I increased the flow of the nozzle.

I use this as the "wicking" element to self watering buckets using potting mix and it works very well. Straight dirt . . . I'm not sure as dirt usually is quite soluble. Garden soil mixed with coir might do good.

Yes. You only need a few tb per gallon of water depending on what your trying to kill. So you need a sprayer for this product. It is the best I have used for the hard to kill weeds like creepers.

For a number of years I have mixed mine in an "old fashioned" garden watering can, poured it on, and it has worked very well. Not sure if a sprayer would put down enough of the Roundup or not.

I use it in a pump sprayer and mix accordingly. Mixture calls for 2.5 oz / gal. I would not use in a hose sprayer unless I knew the distribution rate /ratio.

I only use it for spraying individual plants because of the cost. If you can aford it, you could try it. My recommendation is get a small container and try a area the way you want to use it. I would only use it after the yard has dried out from any rain, after at least a few days, on a sunny day with no forcast rain for a few days, to get the best results. If you don't have pets or kids to worry about, I would use other higher concentrated more economical products.

I don't think it will help much. I mix it in a used water bottle and poured over my roses thinking it would clog sprayer nozzle. Leaves looked dusty after it dried. Didn't seem to help much as mixing it directly into the root zone. Beginning to notice that it is a great root stimulator but still need fertilizer or compost to make plants green

I just used a regular garden pressure sprayer. I mixed the concentrate according to the directions and no problems here. Does this side of you house get wet when it rains.... Maybe you could try wetting the house with a hose a few times as this works best with regular rainfall after it dries. Mine gets better with each rain. I usually do mine every two years.
