Hudson brand - Farm 'n Garden Sprayer

We finally picked up one of those 1 gallon garden sprayers at a local hardware store, and can't be any more happy with it. They are typically used for insecticides and herbicides, but they work amazing well for misting your reptiles. There are numerous brands out there, but this particular one seems durable and is inexpensive. We spent only $15.00 on this one, but they range in price much higher than that.

Assembly is quite simple with detailed instructions, and using it is extremely easy. Pump the handle to build up pressure, squeeze the trigger, and it emits a beautiful mist. Simple as that. The end can be adjusted to spray a tighter stream of water if necessary. All the parts are plastic or rubber, but the seals are tight and the water pressure holds without any leaks.

We used to use a simple 1 quart misting bottle that you can buy for cleaning agents, but that was taking too long to mist our ever-increasing collection. What used to take 10 minutes to do, now takes about a minute...if not less.

I'd recommend getting one regardless of the size of your collection. It holds much more water than other misting bottles, and it's so easy to use.

Re: Hudson brand - Farm 'n Garden Sprayer

This is a great product. I used this for about a year until I picked up a hose that hooks right up to my faucet.
One thing you really have to watch out for with this product is bouncing the tip of the sprayer on the ground.

Re: Hudson brand - Farm 'n Garden Sprayer

Every few months I have to take the spray head of mine off and clean it out. I think a little dirt / dust gets in there when I refill it, and over time, it clogs up the tiny openings. I disassemble it, clean it all out, and it works like new again.

Re: Hudson brand - Farm 'n Garden Sprayer

Do you guys have the same sprayer as this, or is it a different brand?
