Denis from Greer, Sc writes

Can I use the same Chapin 1 Gallon Pump Sprayer (#20000) for herbicide and pest control?

Answer:

It is fine to use different products out of the same sprayer such as the Chapin 1 Gallon Pump Sprayer (#20000), as long as you triple rinse the sprayer and wash it out thoroughly.  If you do not wash it out thoroughly, then you could damage or kill the desirable plants/grass, etc. with any herbicide residual left in your sprayer.  You should always triple rinse the sprayer if you are changing the product that you are using.  Triple rinse means to rinse out the inside of the sprayer 3 times, and also fill it with water and run clean water through the hose for at least 1 minute to make sure that there is no residual left in the hose in addition to the tank. We also sell tank cleaners that are excellent for removing any possible residual from your sprayer.
