Advice on Backpack Sprayers

[NorthwoodsLife]

So, I am looking for a smallish gas powered pack back sprayer for insecticides. And I need it to spray verticle up to my 2nd story eves for wasp control. As well as fog.

5 gallon I think is too big for my old back to haul around.

I'm considering the Stihl SR200, at 2 gallons cap.... but I think that it is more of a fogger.

And also considering the Tomahawk 3 gal unit. Which as I understand will fog and also shoot a stream with the right nozzle gun.

Or any brand and model you'd recommend.

I don't think any battery powered units will have the power needed.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you.

I believe the one you specify is a fogger and not anything like a sprayer.

There are backpack sprayers similar to pump up sprayers that are used by exterminators. They are battery or manually powered and spray a stream. I doubt they are able to reach a second story eave on a house.

Can of wasp spray can shoot like 27 feet, and it's designed for quick killing of wasps... the two units you listed will work to Fog an area... like for mosquitos.

Yeah, I looked online again this morning.
It looks l like the 5 gal Tomahawk will do what I need. I'll just only put 2 or 3 gallons in it to keep the weight down.

I just don't know Tomahawk. I have Stihl and Echo, etc. Tomahawk gets good reviews tho.

Thanks. Tried them. They work great but shoot too short on a couple places on the house.
