Mist Blower Demo and Mosquito Business Talk - Maruyama MM181 

I've used one of these going on 8 years. Maruyama makes a GREAT mister and great spray equipment as well. We used to run the Stihl model. Not anymore. You can run these many ways. They come with the stock diffuser that's shown here as well as an angle pipe. Great for when you don't need distance or reach. Pop off the diffuser and it will really reach out about 50 or 60 feet and up about 40. Adjust the mist to level 1 and it will go even further with small droplets, but it takes longer to get the right amount applied. Then they have 2 other diffusers that are under 10 buck apiece. One is a cap for the end that directs the mist at about 45 degrees anyway you want to turn it. Along with the angle pipe you can literally go straight up or even behind you over your head. NOT RECOMMENDED unless you want to mist yourself. But it's handy for misting upward and even down through man holes for tunnels so you don't have to get in there. The third diffuser cap sends the mist off to the right and left, or up and down at about 45 degrees. It's great for going down between fruit tree rows or large gardens as you can point it straight ahead and and the mist goes out to the sides leaving your walkway clear of mist. Or you can aim it to the side and walk along hitting both sides of whatever you're misting in one pass. Based on what I do, I almost always use no diffuser for reach, or the 45 degree single direction diffuser. You can also remove the extension pipe to shorten it up for tight spaces and great control, with or without the angle pipe or any of the diffusers you choose. It's very versatile. You can cover a lot of territory very fast with these. We were so impressed with them, we became authorized sellers. If you need detailed info or have any questions let me know. I have hundreds of hours on this unit and have sold several dozen. Not a single complaint. I take good care of my equipment and the only parts I've had to change are the chemical hose and the lid gasket. You can get both for under 20 bucks. I've cleaned the exhaust spark arrestor screen once, it's probably due, but I haven't lost any noticeable power. Still on the original spark plug and that I hit with a fine wire brush every season. Some things to know: MAKE SURE the white valve is off(perpendicular to the hose) before you start filling or it will bleed all over the place before you can get it filled. No big deal, but messy and wasted water/chemical. Make sure you use that white valve to turn on the mist AFTER the blower is up to speed and turn it back off before you idle down to avoid a messy blower pipe and alleviate drips. Before trying to start it, make sure the thumb throttle lever is up passed the click near idle. Try to set it on a pickup tailgate or portable table when starting. It's pretty heavy when full and this makes it much easier to put on. During use be careful not to knock the thumb throttle down all the way or as soon as you let off the trigger it will die and you'll have to take it back off to get it started. Press the purge bulb a few times, choke it and it will fire on the first pull every time. Mine still does. Run 50:1 with oil rated JASO FD ONLY. This is the highest rating for numerous categories like wear protection, lubricity, reduced smoke, and detergent properties etc. Maruyama has Ultra Blue Shield oil, Echo has Red Armor, and Husqvarna has one as well that are all rated JASO FD. If you don't see JASO FD on the bottle, don't use it. I recommend ethanol free gas for all power equipment, but it runs fine on regular 87 10percent ethanol gas just fine. I just make sure to run ethanol free gas as soon as possible to flush that crap out of the machine before storage. They have a newer model with a bigger engine and more power. I'm going to be test driving it this week. If you use this for making money, it will pay for itself VERY quickly. I spray and mist treat grain elevators, storage facilities, and warehouses and it paid for itself on the first flat storage building I used it on. It's a real labor saver. Two highly enthusiastic thumbs up for this machine! Feel free to reply if you have comments or questions.

Videos are looking very professional 👌! Good investment. I loved your videos before, but this works too.

Great video! Just got me a mister this summer. Great seeing Garrick on there! I knew he had celebrity potential.

Great info Jason. Love the new LCL logo!

I did that for 14 years as a pest control technician. In the state of SC you have to have a pest control applicators license. Was thinking about doing it part time but it cost the same for the licensing and other requirements as if you were a full time business.

This is sweet!

Nice video. I was curious about the 4 tests that are required to spray in Alabama. I'm in Mississippi and stuck in the process of determining what's needed to spray here.

Got certified today!! Now shopping for backpack sprayer

Well dang. I found one of them in the middle of the road. Fell off a trailer is my guess. But i had no idea what it was for. Think it could be used to apply liquid fertilizer on the lawn?. Plus use to spray my fruit trees for bugs??

I feel like I'm looking at a Echo blower, modified of course.

Stihl makes one of these that we use for spraying fly larvae on the farm - shoots the spray a lot farther than that one. Is there a product that could be used in the fall to control Asian ladybugs? They're a real problem here in the Midwest during soybean harvest.

Mosquito Barrier. Used it for years. Food product, Garlic Oil. No ppe or special training.

is it 2stroke or 4stroke?

This company also makes smaller model it’s a two or 3 gallon backpack not a four or 5 gallon the entire unit is lighter you can’t go as far much easier to handle I love it ,I had three stihls there OK but the other company is better
