I bought two bottles of Spray and Forget several months ago, along with a Gilmour sprayer to apply it with. I treated one side of our house once, but there has been no change. I think it is because the sprayer can't be "dialed up" to a strong enough concentration. If anyone has used a sprayer and it worked with this product, would you please post what brand and model it is? Thanks!

I used the $40 sprayer Spray and Forget sells. BUT I Sprayed it about a year ago and it Forgot to work. My roof looks just like it did a year ago - ugly. And here's the kicker. I could not return it as I used it and the vendor's policy was 30 days and the stuff is not supposed to show results for months. So they can sell it knowing they never have to provide a refund. Even though I bought it through Amazon, Spray and Forget said the vendor was not a distributor so they would not refund or replace either. For whatever reason I don't see the sprayer on their website so I can't tell you where to look. BUT like I said the crap is crap and doesn't work. I used the $40 sprayer Spray and Forget sells.

Used an older Sears Stainless steel sprayer, pretty generic. I soaked the shingles but not enough for it to run. It took 3-4 months, depending on amount of rain. It needs rain to work. My roof looks 90% better.

I just used a regular garden pressure sprayer. I mixed the concentrate according to the directions and no problems here. Does this side of you house get wet when it rains.... Maybe you could try wetting the house with a hose a few times as this works best with regular rainfall after it dries. Mine gets better with each rain. I usually do mine every two years.

Spunky, I used my Stihl back pack sprayer. Used a ration of one Spray and Forget to 2 of water in the sprayer. Do not expect this product to produce immediate results. My house is all brick except the sofitts which are vinyl clad. Brick on my terrace looked terrible as did some of the sofitts and I sprayed both. At first I thought I had wasted my money but after a couple of good showers I started to see the how well it really did work. It has probably been about two to three years since my first application. Still looks good.

Is your sprayer a pump sprayer or a hose end sprayer? I don't think the hose end sprayers work with this product (but I'm not certain about that). I used a generic pump sprayer and mixed according to the directions on the bottle. It does take a few months and it does need to rain. Maybe give it a little more time, especially if it's been dry. Also I called the company directly with some questions prior to purchasing and they were extremely helpful. They may have some better advice.

Buy the Spray and Forget super concentrated formula. It has a sprayer built into the bottle.

Just make sure the end of the sprayer is set to " on". If you look carefully, you' ll see it says either "off" or " on". It can be turned to either setting. If it's set to "on" and doesn't spray, return it or try to find a compatible sprayer.

Ours did not work either. Jane finally got it to work. you need to pump the top up and down 10 times to build up the air pressure then it will spray a fine mist for 10-15 seconds, Works great! saves Oil usage. very pleased.

Yes, you can use any solution. I used different brands in mine all the me. Works just the same. Just make sure to run warm water through it to clean it when you are done spraying.

SO frustrating when that happens! I'd look around the house for another spray bottle that's nearly empty and use that, or go to the 99¢ store and buy a product in a similar bottle, like glass cleaner, and dump the contents and use that bottle. Good luck!

Can't help you with this one. I sprayed it on when the lawn was dry and then the sprinklers come on the following day and watered it in. That said, the stuff works, it's just a little pricey. I would recommend you strictly follow the directions and not over-dose.

Sorry to be the banter of bad news, but it does sound as though you have a defective unit. The good news is you are still under warranty. Do not waste another minute; call the store where you bought it and have it returned. This device is a no brainer; you plug it up, turn it on and watch it go...the spray should work with ease and percision. Buying defective items does happen in life; sorry you had to experience that. Best wishes with everything.

I use a pump up sprayer and my lawn is Centipede. I was overrun with nut sedge after a hurricane and it took 4 applications to destroy the weed. That was over a year and a half time frame. Just now we are using it once again for a wild violet that blew in during wind gusts. So far one application has withered the outer leaves only I see fresh shoots starting. Unfortunately the day I spayed this area had a cloud burst, where else but over my lawn. I hope someone who has St Augustine will share their findings with you. As far as the Image goes in controlling weeds, I don't use anything else. This product works if directions are followed as stated on label. Scots001.

Sorry to tell you this - I've had my first machine for yr and it worked fine until it would no longer spray- since it was old I thought some part must have worn out - and since it had given me many yrs of great service - I just went out and bought another one - I have had this new one for just about a yr and now the same problem is happening to this one - I've given up and use a spray bottle to apply solution and the machine to pick up the residue - I'll have to be in touch with the company - but this does seem like it could be a chronic problem.

The package tells that it loses it's strength in a day or so, I believe. My experience since I've used this product (about 20 years) is that it does not lose it's strength at all. I have some in my sprayer in the garage right now that is over three months old and I keep it because I know for SURE it is potent and will work JUST as well today as it did the first day I mixed it. Perhaps in a clinic they can actually test and see that potency decreases after time, but in my home or yard where I use it, the bugs would HAVE to disagree. :) I've never used old Demon to find that it did not work.

I mix 4 Oz of this in a Gilmour hose end sprinkler and add water to top and spray twice a year. It does not plug my sprayer and does a good job I also, in addition broadcast the granular Bifenthrin. I was having trouble with Springtails. Don't get discouraged as it takes awhile. Hope this helps good luck.

Sorry but I don't have a video. I followed the owner's manual and had no problem. Following the step by step instructions allowed me to successfully complete my 1st project. If you follow the instructions and you still can't get it to spray, check the troubleshooting section for resolution.

I have always used the spray applicator; however I purchased a new one a few weeks ago and is not working as well as the first one. I am disappointed with it.

In order to apply this product that is part of the perimeter such as a drive or porch, I use my 2 1/2 gallon pump-up sprayer. I set the nozzle for the thickest stream of spray and just apply the Termidor/water mix moving slowly until the mixture just runs off.The mixture will continue to absorb into the ground over a period of time.This option is slower but for me, it is effective.Termidor is a good product, but it should be used carefully and outdoors.lI know you will have success with it, if applied as directed.Alfred E.

My sprayer stopped working too. It's too bad they put such a cheap sprayer with such a nice bottle. Anyway, I think the sizing of the sprayer is fairly standard cuz I went to Container Arts and bought a small (travel size) pump sprayer. I went home, took the pump off and screwed it onto the glass bottle, and wa la! It fit.

For a number of years I have mixed mine in an "old fashioned" garden watering can, poured it on, and it has worked very well. Not sure if a sprayer would put down enough of the Roundup or not.
