User questions & answers

Question:	Is this home defense max? description says it is but photo shows only home defense and it's not the max
Answer:	I use it to spray nematodes. Works just fine.
Question:	What are the active ingredients in this product
Answer:	I am very satisfied do not be surprised at the first water valve turn on as it may leak for a few seconds. Mine no longer does this. Depending on your water pressure you can spray upwards about nine to ten feet.I can reach the roof line of my ranch style home.
Question:	do you have to apply after every rainstorm ???? can get very expensive
Answer:	The lowest is 1 teaspoon and it goes up to 8 ounces.
Question:	Any way to revive the sprayer after it stops working
Answer:	When these work, they are awesome. Read the instructions for you chemical, determine how much concentrate to add per gallon of water. Fill the container with any amount of concentrate, set the dial. For example, if you are to add 3 oz. of concentrate per gallon, just put the concentrate into the container, set the dial to 3 oz. and spray. The sprayer will suck out the concentrate mixing it with the water at the concentration that you set on the dial, in this case, 3 oz. per gallon. Problem is, these are a little flimsy, So I suggest that you put water into the container the first time to make sure it works right, then play around with the different concentration levels. Set it to the highest concentration level and it will suck the container empty pretty quick, that way you'll be sure it's syphoning.
