Can the Tomahawk Power TMD14 2 Stroke 3HP Backpack Mosquito Fogger for Pest Control and Disinfectants be used to apply a liquid weed n feed to the lawn? Can or should a different tank be used?

Answer:

It is not recommended to apply any type of herbicide or fertilizer with a mist blower type applicator such as the Tomahawk Power TMD14 or other models on the market. This would cause for an uneven application which would lead to incomplete or sporadic results, as well as risk far too much drift to nearby areas that could be harmed by the herbicide. Fertilizers and herbicides need to be applied with a hand pump, backpack, or tank sprayer with a nozzle and wand that can direct the spray closer to the ground level and make better coverage.  Fertilizers often need 2-4 gallons of water used per 1000 sq/ft to avoid over application or burn to the lawn and ensure penetration to the roots as well as the foliage.
