Use separate sprayers for herbicides, pesticides, oil based sprays, etc. ALWAYS label sprayers so you do not mix different kinds of chemicals.

Spray Bottles
- Use for premixed pesticides or small quantities.

Cyclone Spreaders

Ross Root Feeders (Our favorite product)
- Used for deep root watering. Advantageous for trees because you get the fertilizer to the tree roots and not to the lawn.
