What flow rate should I put on a water hose sprayer/mixer of this product to kill ticks? It is a Chameleon Model# 62140 sprayer.

You should use a fine sprayer, like the 2-gallon pump type. You will blow through the bottle of this stuff in no time using a hose-end sprayer.

I really don't know an answer to that one. I use a hand pump sprayer and just mix to the recommended ratio. It works well for me this way and I spray the areas of high concentration for ticks, ie under trees. I also spray the mix on clothes I will be working out in the grass in and let it dry for several days prior to wearing. It will actually last through several gentle wash loads as well.

I would use no more than 2 tbsp per gallon of water. If needed increase to 3 for bad infestations

I use about a teaspoon .along with a few drops of hand soap or dish detergent and warm water.. spoke to an exterminator and that's what he recommends. . Seems to work well. .. this is in a 32 oz spray bottle

My critters are not exposed to tick areas so I don't know. It does a great job on flea destruction. CC

Probably depends on how mild or corrosive your mix is. I would defnitely make sure you are comfortable pulling out the pump and hitting it with some petrolium jelly if you are mixing it pretty stout. I doubt that the tank will have any issues. My concern with any sprayer and something like you are talking about is the washers and seals. I do know that there are specific sprayers for heavy duty chemicals such as http://www.amazon.com/Chapin-Industrial-Concrete-Sprayer-19049/dp/B000Q3X7J2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1378265526&sr=8-4&keywords=chapin+chemical+sprayer Might want to check those out.

Not sure, I only run a low pressure pump so it's just a dribble. It likely depends on the water pressure. If you have full-hose pressure it will probably spray a short distance.

I use a 12VDC pump sprayer with intent of wetting an area to clear spiders from forming webs. Does a good job wetting into crevecise and the spiders seem to enjoy the shower.

I'm not sure about it. I use this product for lice and nits. I never try to use it for ticks.

I'm assuming that's the kind you'd put the Insecticide into, and the hose water coming through would dilute the material as it sprays? ... If you can figure out the ratio, I suppose it could, but I'm not that familiar with how they work .. The Suspend container meters out the amount to be diluted per gallon of water, in pump / pressure sprayers, or foggers, we use it with a 15-gallon battery powered sprayer. This product seems to be safe on everything except what we want to kill .. creepy crawlies & fliers of all kinds. Our dogs have NEVER had a tick or flea, not even ONE, by using this in their yard; and I HATE spiders, so killing them is a MUST for me ... same for earwigs, and this kills them like it's their 'White Plague'!! This newer mix, should have 90-days residual effect, if not washed away. VERY effective product; informative label, too.

I would not hook this up to a hose sprayer. You should stick to using a pump sprayer. I am not sure about treating flees.

I'm sure the product breaks all of our flow rate rules...it's that good!!!I have tried to google the informantion and it's not coming up. If it really matters to you? Contact the company. Otherwise, it was the best 8 bucks I ever spent!!!

I really don't know. I treat my yard with Diazanon pellets and I just never have fleas or ticks. I am thinking it should kill them. My reason for this purchase was because there was an old rent house next door full of roaches and we could not get rid of them. It did work. For roaches i had to spray every three months inside and out to get rid of them. My guess is if it says it kills ticks then it probably does.

I used it last year (the one that hooks to the hose) to get rid of sand burrs. It did! It killed them and left the grass. We have since moved, and I am now using it on poison ivy & poison oak. So far it is doing the job. I also used this brand for ticks (the bug version that hooks to the hose), and it worked wonders! I get this brand for under $8 at our local W*****t and trust them to do the job.

Mr. Harry:I had to do some math to figure out that also. I see I wrote down 1/3 oz. for my 2 gal tank sprayer. Six teaspoons make an ounce, so I use 2 teaspoons for my 2 gallons. Therefore you only need 1 teaspoon for 1 gallon. So far I only used the product for one application because fall came and grass was going dormant. I did after several weeks start to get that frost look, but what I read is that it really needs 2-3 applications. Another trick I use is to add some Bonide Spreader Sticker to the mix. It provides adhesion of the tenacity so it sticks better to the vegetation and lets it perform better. I bought that on Amazon also.

TC-848 won't deliver enough CFM for the touch-up gun. At 2.6 CFM, liquids wouldn't be atomized very well and it would likely just spatter and cause a mess. The spray gun requires 5 CFM to work well.

You can dilute it with water an make a great insect repellent. I would use about an ounce of Permethrin to 15 ounces water. That will give you a .0625% solution, which is a little higher than store bought tick spray.

I have no idea which flow rate I have. I love my faucet though. I find that the hand held spray nozzle has more power. Exceptional value.
