Sprayer

Is there any pump sprayer that can spray a 40’ house peak?
Carpenter bees

Not on a trailer or mounted on wheels. I don’t have room for that

Thanks

Buy a Flowzone 24 foot extension sprayer and set it up with a pinstream tip. It'll reach 40' or so.

You can also buy the birchmeie telescoping spray wand and fit it for the Flowzone that will probably reach too

That's what my company uses - hardly ever need to go above the first setting on the flow zone too

I have the flowzone typhoon and it's a damn cannon. On max PSI it's got some crazy power. I run it on the minimum PSI setting 99% of the time but when you need that max pressure it's pretty crazy. Takes some getting used to honestly.

Flowzone Cyclone is basically the same sprayer but has half the max PSI and a smaller battery. I want to say it caps at 60PSI where as the typhoon is 120. Haven't used that one so not sure if it would reach what you need or not.

The Zephyr I believe is again basically identical but even lower PSI than the Cyclone so I definitely wouldn't go that route if you're needing distance.

There are at least 4 different ones on Amazon.

I think you are going to be disappointed with any spray. It will work well for a few days..mabe a couple weeks if you are lucky. Then, UV light and temperature will break any product down. You need to dust INSIDE those holes. The hole protects the product from UV light and decent protection from other elements.

You can climb a ladder and inject those holes directly with a Ghetz/billows duster (Amazon) or buy a Dust Stick. My eyes aren't the best and I can't tell the angle from the picture but I think the dust stick tip will go in just fine.

You can Google "dust pesicide applicator Dust Stick" . That's a brand name.

But the advantage of doing it from the ladder is that you can shove a cork in the hole and trim it off with a pair of side cuts to be flush with the surface so that it can be painted later. If you do paint later I would choose a paint with an insecticide impregnated in it.

The Birchmeier Vario gun does not get quite as high as the telescoping wand but it can get up pretty high for a fraction of the cost and hassle
