    Solo 451 Mosquito Fogger/Mist blower

    By Steve on 04/17/2012

    Verified Purchase

    Awesome machine!! Well worth the money if you live in an area where mosquitos make enjoying the pool or hot tub in the evening impossible. Last year I paid a major Pest Control company $100.00 a month to fog my property to control the mosquitos, it worked great but we were at the mercy of a company who was not prompt, missed appointments or rain delays = Mosquito re-infestation forcing us inside the house. I am now in control of my pest control thanks to DoMyOwnPestControl.com, I purchaced a gallon of Talstar P concentrate to go with my new Blower/Mister and it appears to work wonderfully, I sprayed my yard 2 weeks ago and have not seen 1 mosquito since, that is saying something considering I live 1 block from a large lake in Southwest Michigan. I highly recommend the Solo 451 Blower and Talstar P insecticide, I received my order quickly, I highly recommend ordering from DoMyOwnPestControl.com, I will definitely be a repeat customer.

    Mosquito Free

    By Jeff on 01/14/2015

    Verified Purchase

    This works. It isn't cheap, but it works. I was rather hesitant to spend this kind of money, but my desire to use my backyard in the summer won out. We live in the Memphis, TN area, in a wooded lot with a lot of bushes: i.e. mosquito heaven. I would get multiple bites just walking to the mailbox and back, let alone when our three kids would play in the backyard. If we wanted to spend any time outside, we had to drench ourselves with bug spray, otherwise they feasted. I finally got fed up staring longingly at my backyard through the windows and started looking into ways I could control the mosquitoes in our yard. I bought one of those handheld propane foggers, and it sort of worked for a short time. There wasn't a residual, and the mosquitoes found us soon after. Local companies wanted up to $150/month to fog my yard, and I was just about to break down and do that when I figured that this fogger would pay for itself pretty quickly if I used it for just a couple years. I'm glad I did: mosquitoes are hardly a problem anymore in my backyard. This isn't a 100% solution for me, but we can deal with a bite or two every once in a while in order to go outside whenever we want without bug spray. It's almost strange to go outside now without mosquitoes swarming us. If I go too long between treatments, the kids ask me to kill the bugs now. I'm still trying to find the right combination of concentrate to water, saturation of my bushes, frequency of fogging, and dosage setting on the fogger. It seems like the bug population starts to pick up after about 2-3 weeks, so I'm not sure if that's me, or just the reality of where I live. The “problem” is that I only had to fog a handful of times (once I got it this past summer) in order to control the bugs, so I didn't have many opportunities to tweak how I fogged. The machine runs really well, and starts pretty easily. It is heavy: 4 gallons of water and fuel, on top of a 25 lbs engine and that's 50+ lbs. Once you get it on your back it's comfortable, but it can be awkward trying to get it there. You also get an additional benefit of being able to use this to apply Talstar to the outside of your house too. I did that while I was treating the yard, instead of using a pump sprayer inside and out like I normally have and we haven't had any bugs inside. I can't speak to the longevity as I just got it this past summer. But, if you something to control the mosquitoes in your yard, this is it.

    The mist blower works as expected. No problems, so far. I also use Solo's backpack sprayers and have had many years of good service with them.

    Best Mistblower out there

    By Joseph on 04/08/2014

    Awesome machine! It beats out the Stihl I own hands down, its far more comfortable and very simple to use. I find that I have slightly better spray performance with the Solo.

    I could not have believed it if I did not see it myself. I live in the woods and bees and Mosquitos are the worst. I do not have a problem anymore. Best money I ever spent!!

    Mosquito Buster!!

    By Doc on 07/13/2014

    Verified Purchase

    I assembled it in 9 minutes. I watched the video prior to using it the first time and began the mosquito termination. I used the Bifen IT. We had a down pour about 90 minutes after application. Still no mosquitoes!!! And that was 3 weeks ago. Very pleased. I do recommend using the respirator I bought from you also. This "Mosquito Buster" is worth every dollar. We can enjoy our yard and gardens once again.

    solo 451 - Does Exactly What You Expect, Does it Well

    By Kevin on 06/27/2016

    I live in a heavily wooded area in Southeast Massachusetts, we have a built in pool and with the short summer season here we want to spend s much time out doors as possible. Because of the wooded area the mosquitos are brutal, I purchased the Solo 451, and I am very happy I did. It works great controlling the mosquitos. I followed directions, used it at dusk, avoided the plants the bees favor and couldn't be happier. This thing is heavy when full with insecticide but very manageable if using a table to load it on your back. Start with the low flow setting on insecticide dispersal. I use the lowest setting and it works just fine even with the high population of mosquitos and large number of trees and bushes. I Highly recommend it. Seems well built. Easy to use, takes no real time to prepare and treat my 3/4 acre, I have a lot of trees and bushes, but it is just a walk around the yard.

    Blower saves me lots of time

    By Dave on 07/07/2014

    Verified Purchase

    I have a very large yard and this blower allows me to spray my entire yard and surrounding area with 4 gal of the mosquito barrier mix in just 45 min saving me a lot of time compared to using the 2 gal hand pump sprayers that will work good for this applacation however my yard is just too large to do it that way.

    Solo 451 Mist Blower

    By David on 12/01/2015

    I have a 20 year old Solo mist blower that served me well for all those years. I decided it was time to get a new blower and this is as good as the old blower and has several improvements over the old blower. I am very satisfied with the new blower and look forward to many years of service from the new blower.

    Great mist blower

    By Jeremey on 05/13/2017

    Works great. I'd recommend that you get the booster pump if you have any trees. I use it with Talstar for mosquito control. Works great. Pays for itself in a year if you spray all summer.
