Sprayers & Guns

Sprayers and hose guns for feeding and pest control

A good sprayer earns its keep on foliar feeds, IPM sprays and general watering duties where a jug just won't reach evenly. Hand-trigger mister bottles from 1L suit spot treatments and small numbers of plants, while a 2L pump-up compression sprayer gives you continuous spray without constant pumping — the better option once you're treating a full tent rather than one or two plants.

Even coverage matters more than pressure. When you're applying an IPM spray or a foliar feed, get the undersides of leaves as well as the tops — that's where pests and their eggs actually sit. A pump sprayer with an adjustable nozzle switches between a fine mist for foliar work and a stronger jet for rinsing runoff trays.

Buying advice

Rinse a sprayer out between different products, especially if you've used it for anything oil-based, since residue left in the tank or nozzle can clog the next spray or contaminate a different treatment.
