I guess the only thing I ever used my pump for was RoundUp, Diazinon, and Malathion.
Beats me but it works and has worked longer than --5 years-- other methods I have tried. I spray Roundup substitute and 2-4-D. I always add some liquid detergent to the spray mix as a surfactant. Maybe something there but it works so I'm OK with it .
