It's like all things.........you get what you pay for, but my stainless one is still going strong after 10 years of use........and it has done hundreds of treatments. . Rolfe. Quote Link to post

HUnter_zero 58 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 As already said, Gloria for wet spray & DR5 for wasp nests both are more or less industry standard. PM to follow. John Quote Link to post

Urban Fox Control London 8 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) I have had a few gloria sprayers in the past and have found that after a while you cannot screw the pump into the tank as the threads becomes worn out. I now get a £17.99 6L sprayer from Machine Mart that works just as well as a £100 one, and as and when (not often) it needs replacing, it doesn't dent the wallet. If you just going to be spraying occasionally for Garden Ants with Ficam or Cytrol Forte, this will do the trick. Come with a variable brass nozzle.

d6k 11 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) I use a b&g 2.5l I rarely need more that a few litres so its ideal. Edited April 4, 2010 by d6k Quote Link to post
