A simple, affordable pump sprayer that's perfect for applying outdoor pest control. Pressurize like a bike pump and spray — no batteries, no motor, no fuss.
Applying Talak around the entire house perimeter requires a sprayer. You could buy a fancy battery-powered one, but the Chapin 20004 is the classic choice — and with 79,451 reviews at 4.4 stars, I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Pour in the Talak + water mixture, screw on the pump handle, and pump it up like a bicycle tire. The pressure builds in the tank, and when you pull the trigger, a fine mist comes out. One round of pumping gives you enough pressure to spray at least a third of the tank's contents before you need to pump again.
The spray pattern is a nice, even mist — perfect for creating the three-foot perimeter band I needed around the house.
If you're setting up an outdoor Talak perimeter, you need a sprayer. The Chapin 20004 is cheap, proven, and works perfectly. Combined with Terro bait stations indoors and diatomaceous earth at entry points, you've got a complete ant defense system for around $65 total.
"Works incredibly well as an ant barrier — I put a line in front of the door and no more ants came through. Only catch? It's the same DE I already have 40 pounds of in the garage for my pool filter."
"Creates a deadly perimeter around the house that stops ants before they even reach the door. Six hours of spraying and I found dead insects everywhere."
"The most reviewed ant product on Amazon for good reason. The ants literally carry the poison back to their nest — I've watched them do it."
