I can't say for sure. I bought the backpack sprayer from harbor freight and use the yellow mist tip below. I can't remember if the tip came with it or if I bought it separate somewhere else. It will put out a very fine mist/cloud that I can mist shrubs and the yard. I can tell a huge difference the day after I spray. The sprayer is uncomfortable as heck, but it's 30 bucks and dedicated for talstarP. So 30-45 minutes every month or two is all I have to wear it. I've got .5 acre with plenty of shrubs azaleas, boxwoods nandina and rhododendron. I can mist up in the Leland cypress about 10-12 feet with this setup. I mist the yard and bushes, and stick the wand in the bushes to mist inside the foliage. (Mosquitos like the underside of leaves) I mix 4 gallons at 1 oz per in the sprayer. Avoid flowering bushes unless they are getting eaten up by June bugs, and I can do the yard and perimeter of the house with 1-2 tankfulls depending on how pissed I am at the bugs.
My wife and kids get eaten up by mosquitos 10-20 bits in as many minutes. I had a baby deer trapped in the yard for a day last week, so I hammered the yard with talstarp to kill any deer ticks that might of rode in on that deer. We spent most of Sunday outside and not one single bit on anyone.
I can't justify the extra expense of a blower setup with the results I get from this sprayer. Especially with 3-4 applications a year. If I had the disposable income and space to store it I would get a blower setup for sure.
Do some research and asses your yard to see where the bastards are likely to be breeding or hiding. Shrubs, porches or decks close to the ground. Cooler dark places during the day is their typical hangout spot. Good luck. And let us know how it goes.
but the mosquito's are no longer an issue.
