The Bug Blaster - FAQ

Question:
Does the Bug Blaster hurt beneficial insects?
Answer: No. Generally speaking beneficial insects tend to be larger and or hard shelled i.e., ladybugs, praying mantis etc.

Question: Will the force of the spray damage my plants?
Answer: No. This has not been a problem. However, if you have strong water pressure and use it on delicate plants, simply restrict the flow of water by adjusting the valve at the base of the Bug Blaster.

Question: Why can't I spray my plants with an ordinary garden hose?
Answer: Yes, you can. However, it is very difficult if not impossible to hit all the surfaces of the leaves especially the undersides, where many of the bugs infest.

Question: Does the Bug Blaster waste water?
Answer: No! The Bug Blaster uses up to 60% less water than a standard spray gun and also drips down to water plants not adding pesticides to the soil.

Question: Can I apply a pesticide or fertilizer canister to the Bug Blaster?
Answer: No! Absolutely not. The Bug Blaster is not designed to be used with any type of pesticide or fertilizer. It is definitely not a safe practice.

Question: What happens to the bugs?
Answer: Generally speaking soft body insects are fatally traumatized from the force of the water. Established colonies of bad bugs consist of eggs, juveniles and adults. In some cases one blast eliminates all three stages. For heavy infestation use the Bug Blaster every 3-5 days for two weeks, this will devastate their life cycle.

Question: Will the bugs return after using the Bug Blaster?
Answer: Yes. As will they, if you use a pesticide. However, by using the Bug Blaster your plants are healthy and clean thus your plants are less likely to re-infest. Furthermore, the population of the beneficial bugs will remain.

Question: Why do I get wet when I use the Bug Blaster?
Answer: You must maintain the spray in a vertical pattern. Pay close attention to the direction of the spray as you rotate the wand from low to high.
