Don't think a "spraying program" requires lots of time, money or work. To the contrary, a season-long spraying program requires relatively little effort because its key is prevention and regularity. Just a few minutes each weekend of spot spraying...if necessary...can result in higher yields from your vegetable garden, more beautiful flowers, and a lush, weed-free lawn.

The purpose of your spraying program is to prevent insects or plant diseases from getting a foothold, and to hit "hot spots" before they become a major problem. The old adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," surely applies to your lawn and garden!

Why spraying can help you protect your investment!

Besides beauty, common sense tells us there must be a difference in value between a home with beautiful landscaping and one with a lawn filled with weeds or a garden of wilted flowers. This is easily confirmed by any realtor who will tell you that a beautiful, well-cared-for lawn and garden can easily add thousands of dollars to the selling price of a home. In addition, you no doubt have spent considerable time and money in producing the results you want.

Why be robbed of your investment by infestations of insects, weeds or plant disease? With minimal spraying and effort, you can keep your lawn and garden healthy and stave off potential damage.

Spray right...to save money and help protect your environment!

Extremely low doses of spray material...if applied correctly...will effectively stop and prevent damage from insects, plant disease and weeds. Check the label on a bottle of pesticide. Typically, directions call for just a teaspoon or two per gallon of water. With the right sprayer, a gallon of material goes a very long way.

The key to spraying right is to identify the problem.

For effective control identify the problem, then take action. Start with a general gardening reference book, or contact your garden supply retailer, university extension specialist, county agent or extension master gardener. There's no such thing as an "all-purpose" pesticide. To be effective, save money and spray right, you need to match the pesticide with the specific problem. Note that effective control may also be achieved with preventative spray application. For example, roses typically need at least a weekly application of a fungicide/pesticide formulation.

The other key to spraying right is to use the correct applicator. A Hudson sprayer does the job right. Here's why:

• With a Hudson sprayer you mix the spray material exactly according to directions and know you have mixed the right amount each and every time.
  

• A Hudson compression sprayer is adjustable...it can spray from a long stream to reach high into shrubs and bushes, to a gentle mist that envelopes a plant for thorough protection.
  

• You can adjust the pressure so you can apply a coarse, non-drifting spray to lawn weeds or a fine mist for your roses.
  

• With a Hudson sprayer you can easily and quickly turn the spray on or off. This means you can apply a little spray to a plant that needs it, but turn it off before it hits a nearby plant that needs no spray.
  

• Liquid in a Hudson sprayer goes a long way. You'll be surprised at how much coverage you can get with a gallon of spray when you have the sprayer adjusted for a mist. Typically, a gallon or two can protect most of the plants and bushes in your yard. Very minute amounts of spray are just as effective as "drenching," and a Hudson sprayer correctly applies these minimal amounts.
  

• With a Hudson sprayer you can easily apply spray right on target...even under leaves where most pest problems start. There may be no need to spray an entire plant or garden if there is just a single trouble spot. With a Hudson sprayer you can easily apply just a tiny amount of spray right where it's needed.
  

• With a Hudson sprayer you use only very minimal amounts of spray material so you will save greatly on the cost of spray materials, as well as help protect the environment by using only tiny amounts of material exactly according to the directions approved by the Environmental Protection Agency.
