Cleaning Backpack Sprayers Cleaning backpack sprayers is much different from cleaning a field rig. Backpack sprayers are far smaller in size with a lot less plumbing to hide pesticide residues. Thus, they are much easier to clean. In fact, cleaning a backpack sprayer is a lot like rinsing a pesticide container. Rinse out the tank thoroughly and then spray the rinsate from the sprayer onto the site of application. When applying the rinsate, do not exceed the legal amount of pesticide that may be applied to a given area. Repeat this procedure for a total of three rinses. For the second rinse, consider using a commercial tank cleaner to make a solution that will more effectively remove residues. See the pesticide label for recommended cleaning agents. Another source is the Guide for Weed, Disease, and Insect Management in Nebraska, EC130. Allow the solution to sit for the amount of time listed on the label of the cleaning product. Rinse a third time with only water. After the third rinse, the sprayer should be sufficiently cleansed to be used with a different product.

hi I’m in the same boat, how did you get on did you notice anything?

@@mayah9885 Hi! It turned out that my cat had fleas. Much easier to deal with than bed bugs!

@@mayah9885same issue happened to me, turns out they were coming from my upstairs neighbor

i think you have acute toxicity

Depends on the company, 2400 sq ft house cost us $140 for k9 inspection.

If you have bed bugs, it will be like a rash. We have a problem in our building, and I did not have a problem, I let two people in to look at my bed and they said you do not have bed bugs. I said I knew that otherwise I would have been bitten. As soon as they left I felt lousy. I now have a rash and I thought that it was just the mattress becoming old and maybe the insides affecting me. I was going to turn the mattress over this afternoon, and then I noticed on the opposite side of the bed, I had bugs. One side was clear and I never bothered to check the other. So when I saw those, I killed them straight away, you can do this with your fingers they die easy enough, however, when I turned the mattress over, I noticed black on the mattress, like they have been doing their business. If you have black anywhere, then get rid of the mattress, and get rid of it, if your son does get a rash. You have to wash and dry your clothes and bedding on as high a temp as possible, heat kills them so I am going to go around with the iron and boiling hot water. I might do the water first on the carpet and then when dry use the iron but obviously only use an iron if you don't mind replacing the carpet, hot water will be bad as well as it might shrink the carpet.

​@@marknorville9611 in what way do you use the iron? Thank you
