Sprayers for Sale         Product Registration         Chapin Item Search:         Sprayers come in handy for many jobs around the yard. Lawn care, gardening, sidewalk and driveway weed control, and the spraying of shrubs and fruit trees are some of the areas where you will enjoy the convenience of an efficient sprayer. When it comes to lawn care, spraying is an especially easy alernative to pushing a spreader. You can spray fertilizers, herbicides, or weed & feed mixtures in a fraction of the time necessary for spreading. Sprayers Available For Yard Care Yard care sprayers are available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate every yard job. There are single-action hand sprayers, continuous-action hand sprayers, hose-end sprayers, hand-held sprayers and hand dusters. Examples include the Chapin model 1002 hand-held sprayer for small areas in the garden and the Chapin model 6006 hose-end sprayer, a 6-gallon capacity sprayer ideal for applying herbicides to broad leaf weeds. Fertilizing With Your Sprayer Fertilize your lawn every spring with a liquid fertilizer. Use a hose-end sprayer such as the Chapin Models 6006 and 6007. These sprayers connect easily to your garden hose. Walk in straight lines across your lawn, spraying the fertilizer back and forth in front of you. Walk at a slow pace to ensure that your lawn will be thoroughly fertilized. After fertilizing, clean your sprayer by rinsing thoroughly with water to prevent corrosion of parts.

Lawn Mainenance Spraying is an extremely efficient method of weed control. You can use a post-emergent herbicide to spot treat individual weeds like dandelions, crabgrass and chickweed. A sprayer such as the Chapin Model 2101 is perfect for individual weed control. Spraying is also the preferred method of controlling lawn insects such as mites, whitegrubs, billbugs, cinch bugs, and sod webworms. When spraying mites, be sure to use a miticide rather than a common insecticide, since an insecticide will only kill insects that feed on mites, not the mites themselves. Spraying Tips For Yard Care Work Mix all chemicals outside. Be sure to wear protective goggles, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, rubber or plastic gloves, and sturdy shoes before beginning to spray. To prevent unwanted spraying of trees and shrubs, avoid spraying herbicides or pesticides on windy days. Exercise extreme caution when using pesticides hazardous to birds, earthworms, or other beneficial animals. Store chemicals in a place safe from curious children and pets. Also keep them well away from barbecue grills or other food preparation equipment. Warning Read All Warnings and Precautions Carefully! When activated, most sprayers contain chemicals under pressure. For the safety of the sprayer operator and everyone in the area of spraying, be sure you read and understand all warnings and safety precautions included in the operating instructions or posted on the equipment.    Privacy Policy       © 2008 Chapin International, Inc. - All rights reserved.
