Sprayer "Beetle": reviews and practice of application

Care of the garden and kitchen garden is an interesting and very responsible business. And the reason is not only that we need to perform weeding, in time to feed and water plants, but in the amount of pests that do not mind eating the fruits of your labors.

To help the truck grower in the difficult matter of fighting parasites, a sprayer "Zhuk" was developed, the reviews of which indicate its good quality and efficiency.

Short description

This device is hydraulic type. In simple terms, the liquid is sprayed due to the fact that some amount of compressed air accumulates in the reservoir, which pushes the mixture out of the water and the active drug through the nozzle. The device is equipped with a telescopic handle, some models are equipped with a handle for pumping air and maintaining the necessary pressure.

It is because of the latter circumstance that the sprayer "Zhuk" is so popular. The reviews note that due to the possibility of pumping air in time it is possible to reach the optimal flow rate of the working mixture. So, when spraying potatoes, you can pour more liquid into the tank, which you can spend completely, without going several times to refuel.

Durability

Most of the parts are made of plastic. But do not think that because of this quality suffers. If you take the device in a specialized store, then the sprayer "Beetle", reviews about which are more often positive, can last for many years.

In addition, because of the large number of polymer parts, its weight is low. This is especially admired by elderly gardeners, who even a couple of extra pounds can be a burden.

Negative moments

As usual, everywhere there is a fly in the ointment. In this case, a number of negative reviews are due to the fact that the resistance of various kinds of rubber and polypropylene liners to the action of rather aggressive chemicals is low.

True, not all cases of the "Zhuk" itself are to blame. Often you can hear stories about when, instead of certified preparations for treating the garden against pests, gardeners use a variety of veterinary drugs. They are designed for minimum dosage (ampoules of some drugs are bred for two or three buckets), while "generous" truck farmers fill them with almost bottles. Naturally, the sprayer "Beetle", reviews about which in this case are far from ideal, quickly fails.

Care Tips

To prolong the life of such a wonderful device, you need to follow the simplest tips for caring for him. So, all the rubber parts need to be loosened from time to time, then rinsed in a warm soda solution with an old toothbrush.

Opinion of professionals

Experienced gardeners speak for this, for which the pneumatic sprayer "Zhuk" has long been a faithful assistant in the ongoing battle for the harvest. According to them, with proper care, he quietly works for a couple of years, almost without the need for maintenance and repair.

And one more positive quality is its cost. Sprayer "Beetle", the price of which in most stores does not exceed a thousand rubles, will be an excellent choice and a good help in the farm.
