I always relieve the pressure when finished but I'm told the diesel is the problem. I'll look into the one at Home Depot. Thanks!

Downside: cows can smell it more and try to get away.elkwc":2f6279fj said:I was rotating between Ultra Boss and Ultra Saber. Now I'm buying concentrated sprays with their active ingredients and mixing with mineral oil. So far has worked well and a lot cheaper. Less than $50.00 to spray 190 had including calves. I try to rotate at least every 3rd time I spray. When using the premixed sprays it costs over $150.00 depending on what I used.
What kind of time frame are you getting between sprays using diesel. We don't use it because of the smell and it leaves spots on anything it contacts. And if you aren't careful you smell like diesel also. We get 2-3 weeks of good control between sprays. It depends on how much rain we get during that period. Around here haven't heard of any better from those using diesel. So curious what time frame you are seeing.
What is the name of the concentrated sprays you are using?elkwc":377bg44c said:boondocks":377bg44c said:elkwc":377bg44c said:I was rotating between Ultra Boss and Ultra Saber. Now I'm buying concentrated sprays with their active ingredients

You have a good mix, I mix PBO8, Lambdacy and corn oil as a pour on. We also spray CO-RAL and diesel a few times a year when needed.elkwc":1yrvdjts said:sstterry":1yrvdjts said:What is the name of the concentrated sprays you are using?
I will look when I get home. I use different brands but the main ingredient is either Pernethrin or Lambdacyhalothrin. If they don't have Piperonyl Butoxide I add it. I bought it in concentrate so just add it. Seems to improve the effectiveness.
