Hit that Super Thanks if this helped you out!
What’s the part you put on blower been looking one I see was 99.99😳
Now this is what hacks should be like, finding the parts and making something useful. Very well done!!
EXACTLY
Fantastic idea and hack!! I’ve been paying for a substandard mosquito treatment plus year round because they won’t do mosquitos without a year contract. It’s time for change! And you have provided the answer!
I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.
Proper Attire for pesticide application is waterproof boots, pants, long sleeve shirt, chemical resistant gloves. Respirator is required for a fogging application.
Prove it😂
A tip that might make it easier. Instead of having the wand handle from the backpack. Just run a line right from the backpack to the blower tip with a cutoff valve in the middle. That way you can just close the valve. Build up your pressure and then open the valve.
Your a good dad! Nice hack
Well done! Well thought out! Very thorough! Thank you for taking the time in putting this together! Excellent!
Thank you! If you would subscribe it would really help the channel! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Great idea. You help a lot of people with the mosquitos problems.
Sweet hack. I love McGuvering everything!!
That's BADASS dude. Good hack. And u saved a grip
thanks for the info. Ill try and remove the wand (from sprayer) and go directly to the hand nozzle with the hose. Then you can switch hands and use the hand with the hand nozzle to pump without setting the blower down. Going get this tuff today, thanks again.
Awesome! You’re gonna blast those little blood suckers lol
Great job!!! 👏🏼 I’m dealing with mosquitos now and those big box over the counter backyard hose end sprayer just doesn’t cut it. I recently decided to take it up a notch and sprayed bifenthrin in the entire property. But I’ll be looking to piece together this hack to make sure these mosquitos never come back.
Brilliant, and didn’t even have to change out of the lounge gear...
I was just doing a demo here. Wear protective clothing and glasses and mask
First off, this is a legitimate hack that's great for the home user. I have a campground and my dads farm. So for me, there are a few more considerations. First, the purchase is tax deductible. Second, I don't want to store more stuff, and my blower is a backpack blower, so that would be hard to workout. But lastly, its just convenient for me to have a "one tool does it all" item. I think for residential, this is really the answer, but for any commercial application it won't work.
Agree! This strictly for the home owner trying to save a buck who already has a blower
Found this video completely by accident. I’ve been looking at the sr-200 for a couple weeks and just cant justify 400 bucks for a blower. I’m building this this weekend with my existing blower. Thank you!
Yes! Subscribe to the channel bro! Trying to grow this thing lol
Same here. Live in florida. Mosquitoes are out of control. But don’t want to spend the 400 bucks. I’m definitely making one
Love seeing people find smart ways to get things done!
Gotta do what you gotta do to get things done haha
I was gonna get dad one for Father's day but this sounds much funner. He just has to build it for us 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Nice job on the hack….keeping it on the cheap! Love your shirt! Keep the faith!
This weekend our Pastor will be sharing a story about us. Tune in online or at one of our many campus’s! Life.Church 🙏🏽
Dude you are a genius. This reminds me in the early 70s when every farmer ditch the plastic canister from the brand you mentioned and turned into today's blowers.
😂 I’m sure he didn’t invent it😂
Great hack nice instructions as well!❤
I have a Battery Powered Craftsman 4 gallon back pack sprayer and a Battery powered Stihl Blower …. I just need a couple modifications and i got it !!! Too Cool ..
I literally have ALL of these things already... including the permethrin concentrate. I'm definitely gonna do this. Just need to go buy that tubing. I may have that too. Awesome job on your hack. 👍
Permethrin. Is that what you use? Does it harm what you spray? I got fruit trees and stuff I eat from in the yard
Sweet hack. I have a electric sprayer and a electric blower. I’ll put the 2 together to make this wonderful contraption.
Awesome! Don’t forget to sub to my channel it would be helpful
Good video Brother, got mine and sprayed yesterday with permethrin. Used it all
around yard and into foliage on all 3 sides of house. Got no bites yesterday eve, gonna see how long it lasts.
What a great collection of ideas all rolled into one ingenious hack! This video should really pump up your subscription base. I have an Echo backpack blower that I want to convert the most distal piece to accept the fogger head. When I just wanna clear leaves, it can be removed because I usually don't use the end piece because it makes the blower hard to maneuver and performs better with the end piece removed, when blowing off sidewalks and driveways. With the end piece having the fogger head, i can use the blower for both purposes. My sprayer is a 3 gallon hand carry type. If I could find one similar that's battery operated, That would be sweet!
Thank you brother!
You could by a regular mosquito blower sprayer Stihl or tomahawk so it would save you headache. You are doing lots of work
very smart. u probably don't need the wan part from the storage tank because maybe the orange know on the mister can regulate the pressure and u just have to pump and hold one thing. U may need to put a a little on/off valve on there though depending if that nozzle will actually restrict the flow or pressure
Awesome idea! I was just scrolling the web looking for ideas and came across your video when looking for mosquito sprayers.
This fogger hack is great. I already have a Stihl blower, just have to spend a few more $$$ and pick up the odds and ends to attach the two systems. Keep up the good work!
Yesss! Thanks for the watch and consider subscribing! Helps the channel
Dudes a genius, I am building one too exact same way he did
DUDE YOU’re The MAN👏🌟‼️‼️‼️
You could take that spray handle off and put some kind of valve in its place between the line from the bacpack and the hose to the blower. Would be exacly how the stihl backpark works.
Sacrifice a couple inches of the wand to make a short want to attach to the hose.
Unscrew at the base of the big wand, remove and slide the small piece in, and retighten.
Lock the sprayer “trigger” to on. Or if you don’t have a lock feature, zip tie it down.
Now you can use the blower in your right hand and pump the sprayer simultaneously with the left.
Glad to see HFT listened. The older backpack sprayers didn’t have any padding. Just web straps. I’d end up with bruised and scuffed shoulders from the weight and the thin material. I ended up buying a strap setup off Amazon to put on the sprayer. It was more expensive than the sprayer lol.
if you switch the blower to the right hand and the spray nozzle to the left, you could be pumping the sprayer without the need to put the blower down. other than that, this is a great idea, also where did you find the mister attachment?
Just an idea. Get rid of the handle part on the harbor freight sprayer. Then in 1 hand pump the sprayer and in the other hand your have your blower and when you want to stop just don’t pump. Inside of the backpack there should be another compartment that had the pressure and so you won’t have to worry about leaks if you do that. Granted your sprayer would only be useful for this contraption but just a thought.
That's badass I love the ingenuity
That's pretty darn inventive brother.
Oh my goodness, that's a true DIY! Awesome!
I automated my harbor freight backpack sprayer years ago. uploaded the video. saves you all that manual pumping.
This is one great hack! Thanks for showing us how you did it!
DUDE, that's the coolest idea of the day. My friend, who owns a pest control business told me you couldn't do that, because it was a special rig. OOPS! I think he fibbed... Thanks for the video BRO I'm doing this.
Actually, he is not lying, it is gear differently than a normal blower and is specialized for spraying. Your friend is right
Keyword he owns so of course he’ll say you can’t be he wants to charge you🤷🏾
Similar to the Mosquito sniper system for $50
Thank you, I felt the same way "I don't want to spend $400 on this thing"
That's just slick as hell, good job!
Thanks man! The things those little buggers will make us do lol
Very good, It looks like it sprays better than the really thing. Loved the video. Thanks
It really works. Might do a more detailed video of the build. Stay tuned!
Nice job man. I wish I knew about that hack before I went and spent $400.
Wow cool I always thought of doing something like that but with a Ryobi 18volt backpack sprayer !!you beat me to it came out good.
Dude, I just love that idea. Was thinking I needed to purchase another tool which I did not want to. Thanks so much for sharing your idea. Peace, Mo
Glad it was help Mo!
Genius!!!! Looks like I’m on the hunt for that tip!
well done !!!! my kind of MacGyver hack!
Thanks Glen!
By the way I loved MacGyver lol
That's awesome! You can even disconnect it and use the two tools apart. I was looking for a fogger, but I think you can even turn that into a fogger if you wanted to.
He just showed you he changed it into a fogger...
Run the tube directly to the valve on the blower. Start blowing and slowly open the valve. Stihl are gravity fed not pressurized. I have one of the stihl backpack blowers on my truck I use frequently. You don't even have to pump or squeeze just run the tube to the valve on the blower tip and slowly open while blowing. Also, It's not just water in those tanks we're running permethrin
Nice. Just like the professional service
I am going to do this on my Toro electric corded blower attached to my battery operated sprayer from Global Instrusties that looks similar to your Harbor freight sprayer.
Good idea. Conect your spray wand to your hand pump and you won’t have to set it down.
Great tip!
Shorten the wand on the sprayer and zip tie the handle to the handle on the blower. Use your thumb for the sprayer and your finger for the blower.
Dude…Great hack👍 Very good video! Thank you for sharing ✌️
Nice Set Up!
Good ole fashioned ghetto ingenuity!
I grew up in the ghetto. If he's living in one, that's the nicest ghetto I've ever seen!
Great!! Have a back yard Linden Tree which is the Home Office for many bugs. Will check this out. Lowes sells a bunch of insect spray liquids and I just bought the 4 gallon backpack unit you are using.
Wear the eye protection, cover your skin and wear a mask
@@Hoodsaintfishing Thanks for the safety tip. Be sure to be upwind from any breeze or air movement!
Yooooo fam you really did that,great job my man👏🏾🙌🏾
Thanks bro!
Battery backpack will make this perfect
Looks strong. Im using the ryobi fogger.
Bro I love you for this you saved me a gang of money!! I shortened the length on the sprayer tho it was too long
You the boss, youtube worthy
this is the hood solution i was looking for! of to the depot i go
Ingenuity at its best. Nice job!
Thanks Dorsey and let’s save some $$$ 😁
Looks like an inconvenience. Need a trigger for both.
It's real cool, I was wondering should you wear a respirator?
@@ogsvideos6423 yes you should. This was just a test with water
@@Hoodsaintfishing thanks
I did the opposite. I use my backpack blower and a 1 gallon sprayer. retrofitting is similar. It would help if you removed the wand extension too.
Thank you fir that I’m gonna try it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Do you have pics or video? I have a backpack blower also. Would love to do this.
@@dlay165 I will make one soon
@@dlay165 No, just find the nozzle for the end of the blower and you are set.
I'll check it out
Way to go bro. Great hack. I got three of those stihls and that’s putting out more product. Lol
Do you have to use That blower? Or any blower? What pesticide did you use?
It's also a rainbow maker 4:52
Thank you.
Bro, I was planning on building something almost exactly like this. I see that yours works great, so I'm feeling pretty positive my design will work out just fine too. Great vid!
Do it bro!
@@Hoodsaintfishing looks like I'll have to find a different nozzle tip that works. I just looked up that Stihl nozzle and I can't find it anywhere. Thanks for the reply man, these mosquitoes are no joke!
@@jamal69jackson77 I found it on eBay
@@Hoodsaintfishing I know... it's currently out of stock. Maybe I'll find it in stock later.

My brother, I was a pest control tech/ mosquito control tech a few years ago, I love how you think outside the box, awesome..what kind of pesticide ate you using?
Bifen IT brotha
Great hack, seems silly to pay $500+ for something you already probably have. I couldn't find the stihl head at a reasonable price.... but I found this thing for $40 called the mosquito sniper system. It's essentially an adjustable nozzle you put on the end of the blower to do the same thing, and attach it to your sprayer.
Am waiting for a blower to come in, in 3 more days. Only $222 after Sale price and Rebate. No need to spend twice that amount, if you look around.
thank you sir
!
NICE!
That's badass.
Do me a favor and sub!
Silver cymbal ain't got nothin on this guy.
Just got my own DIY sprayer set up and wondering what number setting you have the Stihl nozzle cap set at?
Not sure just try it first with water
Dang that’s a good idea
It’s amazing what we’ll do to save a few bucks 🤣
Outstanding build!!
