Equipment and Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your spray nozzles is essential to ensure optimal performance and extend its lifespan. Here’s how to clean and maintain your nozzles and recognise when they’re damaged.

Spray pressure, flow rate, droplet size and coverage are all interrelated. Adjusting one element has significant effects on the others and influences the volume and uniformity of your pesticide application, as well as the risk of spray drift.

Different nozzles are designed for different application functions, so selecting the right one to match your job is essential for achieving effective results. In professional pest control, the most common spray patterns are fan, cone and pin stream.

When it comes to maintaining your spray equipment, regular small actions can add up to extend the life of your sprayer for years to come. Keeping it in top condition requires cleaning it out after each use in order to prevent chemical buildup.
