Prevent Plantskydd Sprayer From Getting Clogged Up

Question From: K. Marshall - Alma, Michigan, United States
Q: I would like to use Plantskydd but I can't find a sprayer that doesn't get all clogged up with it. I've tried 2 different pump sprayers, the ready to spray bottle from the company, concentrate, and granules. Everything gets clogged up so that I can't spray. S0, what type sprayer do you use?

A: I use the one the liquid comes in. I shake it well before using and when I'm finished I take the sprayer top off, stick it in a plastic glass of clear water, spray until the water comes out clear and then screw it back on the bottle. Sprayers need to cleaned after use no matter what your product. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy

Comment: Thank you. I will try again with the ready to use spray bottles. I do clean my sprayers out after each use. My experience has been that the solution clogs within just a few minutes so it's hard to complete a whole application. But, I am highly motivated to keep the deer from eating all my flowers. I am slowly changing to things they don't like, but I have a large yard and it takes time!

Response: You may find the powder that you have to mix better as far a clogging. I have also resorted to dumping it into a sprinkling can. Use a light hand with this method. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
