Sprayer Depot Blog

Pest control applicators are some of the hardest working people we know, up before sunrise and still out in the field at dusk. At Sprayer Depot, we appreciate the tireless effort you put into your job, and we want to remind you that we are here whenever you need us. Whether you need a new sprayer, parts and accessories, or even just application advice, you can reach us by phone, email or chat! 

Spring is the official start of the spray industry busiest season, so we know even longer days are ahead. Before our schedules get too hectic, we thought we would take the time to celebrate pest control professionals by joining in observance of National Pest Management Month.

The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) celebrates April as National Pest Management Month, an observance that has been taking place for more than 30 years. National Pest Management Month honors the professional pest control industry for playing a key role in protecting both health and property from significant pest-borne threats.

"The NPMA is pleased to have the opportunity to publicly recognize the important work that pest professionals do every day during National Pest Management Month," says Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the NPMA. "In honor of National Pest Management Month, the NPMA is dedicated to raising public awareness about the risks posed by household pests and encouraging homeowners to take proactive steps to prevent pest infestations in their homes and properties."

We've compiled 3 of our favorite pest control tips that can help make this season just a bit smoother:

Recently Corn and Soybean Digest reported on a newly released smartphone app called Sprayer Calibration Calculator that is designed to assist spray applicators with calibrating a pesticide sprayer. The app was developed by the University of Illinois Extension and is available free to those with Apple and Android phones. As we’ve shared in previous posts, the cost of wasted chemicals can be high when your best tool isn’t set up right.
