What should you do if you find that your sprayer is leaking during application?

When you discover that your sprayer is leaking during application, it is essential to prioritize safety and effectiveness by stopping to check the hoses and fittings. Leaks can lead to inefficient application of pesticides, which not only affects the efficacy of the treatment but can also create environmental hazards and pose health risks to you and those nearby.

By inspecting the hoses and fittings, you can identify the source of the leak, make necessary repairs, and ensure that the equipment is functioning correctly before continuing with the application. This approach helps to prevent pesticide waste, minimizes the risk of contaminating unintended areas, and promotes responsible and effective pest management. Addressing the issue immediately is crucial for maintaining compliance with safety regulations and product labels, ultimately leading to more successful pest control outcomes.
