3 Ways Backpack Sprayers are the Most Effective Application Method for Eliminating Ticks and Mosquitos

The weather is warming up and summer is on its way! Soon families and friends will be gathering for backyard cookouts, kids will be playing in the grass and more time will be spent outdoors. However, ticks and mosquitos will also be hanging out in your backyard; unless you take the initiative and find a way to eliminate these pesky and persistent bugs.

But how? There are many ways to get rid of ticks and mosquitos, but they aren’t all equally effective. Below are three ways backpack sprayers are the best method to wipe out ticks and mosquitos on your property.

 

1. Backpack Sprayers Reach Where Ticks and Mosquitos are Hiding

Backpack sprayers use air power to apply product. Airpower breaks the liquid tick and mosquito solution into tiny pieces that turn into an airborne mist. This mist created can reach difficult spaces like under a deck or inside a tick shrub or tree where ticks and mosquitos like to hide. Blower sprayers are used by a service technician and have no restrictions on where they can reach.

 

2. Backpack Sprayers are Less Wasteful and Only Apply the Appropriate Amount of Product — Without Drenching Your Property

By using backpack sprayers, the technician is able to better control the amount of product being applied to your property. Other methods of tick and mosquito treatments can use too much product leading to problems. For example, if too much product is applied to a leaf, it will drip right off. Backpack sprayers use less volume but have a higher concentration of active ingredients making the method less wasteful and more effective.

 

3. Backpack Sprayers Produce Stronger Results

Other methods of tick and mosquito applications tend to water down the active ingredient in the product. Backpack sprayers have a higher concentration of active ingredients leading to better results. Would you cut your bug spray with 50 percent water… or more?

At Pure Solutions, we use backpack sprayers to treat ticks and mosquitoes. It may look impressive when a tick and mosquito control company pulls into your driveway with a big truck mounted with a spray rig, but ticks and mosquitoes could care less. A blower paired with our products will deliver the best results.
