- Doug Howard of Howard Brothers discusses and demonstrates the STIHL SR 200 Backpack Sprayer for use with mosquito/insect control.
The lineup of STIHL sprayers is not only used widely by commercial landscapers and insect exterminators, but the SR 200 is a perfect product for a residential customer who wants to maintain his/her own property.
In addition, since shelter in place and COVID19, the STIHL lineup has been used for disinfectant uses. You can easily apply sanitization spray/chemicals in areas that require.
The full line of STIHL handheld equipment is available at all 5 Howard Brothers locations around Atlanta. Stop by and speak with one of our salespeople to learn more.

I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. czcams.com/users/postUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.
Thank you for an excellent quality instruction video. saved me a great deal of time in understanidng ho to use the SR200 sprayer!
FINALLY!!! someone who applies it like I thought it should be applied. I see others standing in front of a bush "watering" it for 10 seconds. I thought that couldn't be right. Thank's Doug
I hate to tell you, but he is doing it wrong. You should be paying special attention to the bushes and trees, not the grass. He should also be wearing PPE. If he had read the label he would have known that.
@@wdac1 I've read the labels of the 4 insecticides I use and none of them say anything about where to apply or what PPE to wear. I will tell say that not treating the grass ends up in me returning to the property until I treat the grass and none of the insecticides I use are currently listed as harmful to humans (even in California). So I encourage everyone to thoroughly read everything you can and to practice common sense. If you have neither ability well, I can't help you.
@@FISHH00KS dude he’s doing it very wrong lol. Any licensed guy is shitting himself right now.
He’s spending good time on the bushes but the turf is pointless. Bifenthrin can be applied to turf but that is for ticks and you would typically want to a a bit heavier application. Mosquitos don’t land on turf. Thus pointless application considering that was his target pest.
@@samhaben6905 ya what you said when it comes to insecticide being put down on turf grass gravel dirt etc you need a bigger droplet not a fine mist the chemical has to penetrate deep into those materials he honestly should have focused more on the bushes and trees with a mosquito treatment
Just bought my SR200. This video was very informative. Looking forward to not donating a pint of blood every time I take the dog out or fire up the grill this summer!
Glad you enjoyed.
@@HowardBrothersATL hello
how does the baffle screen attach, snap on or screw on?
What spray do you recommend for common flies? I have chickens and my neighbors have cattle which brings us 1000’s of flies.
I’d walk a line where I’m not walking into what I sprayed, IMO. That’s for the review. Buying one. Damn wish they make conversion kits for BR.
especially if your wearing shorts!!!!😂
Can this be used as a regular backpack leaf blower as well if there's no fluids or is it specifically for spraying?
Do you fog at 100% power if you do not need the entire full-speed distance? I am trying to save on chemical so I am thinking that when spraying lower-level shrubs/trees I can get good enough coverage at a lower than full power setting. Thoughts?
What number do you set the orange valve at the tip of the spray nozzle to get the same flow you have?
About to post a response video to further explain this. General answer is 4, but watch the video in 10minutes
@@HowardBrothersATL can you send me the link to the video on the nozzle setting?
@@joeysowell116 it's our latest video. Hope you subscribe if you're not already. czcams.com/video/pbAXcjdtqk0/video.html
Good video. My only critique is that you should work your way backwards and have the wind to your back to avoid exposure to the insecticides.
Yes work with the wind and keep the head on a swill if walking backwards u might have customer trying to flag you down or h might fall.
Very informative and well done video
Hello i cant really find any andwers for this question but is the sr200 powerful enough to do moderate leaf blowing
Can you use this machinery for fertilizing and herbicide on grass or turf?
Blessings!
Wow, walking through your insecticide with shorts. Most Bifen labels are 1oz/1000SF, if you aren't putting the entire 1 Gallon in that 1000SF you'll be a little light on your product.
Does your unit have the optional pump installed for more effective vertical applications? Thank you.
How long does the 2 gal tank last going full throttle like that with a 1:1 ratio?
Does your SR200 leak all over your back? Mine leaked all over after the first time using it. Pretty disappointed
Question I have a severe black widow problem. Will the chemicals kill spiders as well?
Bifen will only kill black widows if the spray makes contact with them. If you have Black widows I would just call someone to come spray.
Hi ! Thanks for a great video !!! I've bought the same device and I've got a question to you: What number do you set the orange valve at the tip of the spray nozzle to get the same flow you have? It's really important to me as I must do some spraying really soon.
About to post a new video to explain more of this, but generally 4 for general fog… explanation video coming in 10 minutes!
@@HowardBrothersATL thanks 😊
I can't wait to watch it 👍
Really good job on this video. There are so many DIY (lawn care) / review videos out there now that have annoyingly long intros and there is way too much fluff. Your video was to the point but thorough enough at the same time. I went out and bought the same unit. Haven't fired it up yet, but I do have a party planned in the backyard later this month so I plan on spraying. Any tips that did not make the video you can share?
even though Doug didn't use masks and protective equipment, it is for the best.
Hello great video i want to ask how many trees can you do with 16l of liquid pesticide and how long does it take to empty the spray can?
I have 80 peach trees 2.5 meters high and I want to see if it would be convenient for me to buy it and spray them with 2-3 containers of 16 liters
Wanted to asked your opinion on what you believe would be the total sq the 2gallon tank might cover? I’m trying to decide between this or the SR 430 or 450. I have about 2 acres and my in-laws have about 5. I’m okay with refilling but not if it 10 times a round lol
I use another 3 tank full for about 16000 sq ft. It's totally changed our outside living...
Hi, Do you think this device can be used to sanitize large areas?
Ivan Campero Cortes as a sprayer/fogger yes. It is gas powered so there are much better options for indoors but I very much expect to see these in use in theme parks and outside areas that require a Larger area of spray. We sell some smaller battery powered sprayers too that you can get a different spray on. The biggest issue I’d see is making sure surface contact is done. Overkill on the spray
got the sr450 as i have 5 acres to do. what number setting you have the feeder pipe set at?
See answer video czcams.com/video/pbAXcjdtqk0/video.html
What do you think about Invatech 868? Its 329$ now
My sprayer keeps leaking water/chemical on my back? Cannot find a leak?
Sorry. find a dealer who can do some pressure tests for you.
I’m thinking about getting one..... so does it help with flies as well?
With any pest, you need to address the root cause too… standing water, food sources… but the Bifenthren does help with many insects. As always the case read the label and proper use is needed.
Hi if spraying 3 hr
And the motor falls into water. can the engine block crack.if sucked in water
sell it on ebay for parts and buy a new one and don't fall into the water with it.
Can you use that SR200to liquid fertilize your yard?
Sure can
Good information, but have you ever heard of drift, PPE? You should stress safety......
Yeah, that manual that comes with both the sprayer and anything you put in it is important. Don't 100% rely on youtube. It is user generated content... not gospel.
He mentioned wind direction and lack of blow-back...pay attention.
Where is your PPe I’m sure label says long sleeves gloves socks and shoes 🤷🏻♂️
4:33 6 pulls to start
No ppe, wearing shorts, not using gloves while handling chemicals, no respirator, I understand it's for the video but if you're going to go through everything else in detail PPE also needs to be in it
No, it doesn’t NEED to be in it, and it’s not. People should be responsible for their own safety and personal protective equipment, this is an instructional video regarding basic operation of the machine. if you don’t like it, don’t subscribe and don’t hit the thumbs up button, but take your crying elsewhere.
Do you need an IGR with Bifen
Yes
Great video thanks, Will that Stihl unit reach the eaves of a 2 story house? Or should I buy the 450
You probably know by now but the 450 does 55 ft vertical
@@alldreams13 and how much doest sr200? Vertical and horizontal?
@@seadsalihovic47 55 ft vertical and a little better horizontal is the sr 450 not sure on the 200 but it’s on the specs page
What was the name of your chemical and where can I buy it? Thanks
Biefen on amazon
What's the name of the product you are using ? Thanks
bifenthrin. In a Stihl SR200
@@HowardBrothersATL Thank you.
I thought that was jimmy Johnson 😀initially
can you spray cedar oil applications for ticks with this?
Many of the same insecticides used for mosquitoes also work on ticks. If you have an aversion to insecticides, if the oil is sticky, i would not recommend it:
What setting do you use on the sprayer?
czcams.com/video/pbAXcjdtqk0/video.html
How is the spray you use on bees?
it would kill them
@@christopheradams8447 I did some reading and I noticed that. Even the spray that says its safe usually isn't. I didn't use the spray that I bought last year for mosquitoes.
Absolutely horrible for all food chains. This guy has no idea what he’s talking about
This is hilarious. This guy/company will answer every question besides the one where hes not wearing a respirator.... 🤣😂 If you are a business you have to have a license to spray that at a customer's home. 🤯
This is a product anyone can purchase online or in most stores. EVERY product like this will tell you to wear protective gear. Your windex tells you to wear protective gear.
oxygen causes cancer
For licensed professionals LABEL IS THE LAW! Shoes long socks pants long sleeves gloves
hello can you spell the name of the chemical please thank you
Bayer - 4031982 - Suspend SC -Insecticide - 16oz
Well hello there had seen you in a while now you’re doing CZcams videos you may not remember me but I bought all my lawn care equipment from you I’m down south in Cairo Georgia right now that’s where I live go to see you
Sylvester Tillman I’ll share this with Doug. Thanks for watching ant commenting.
No protective equipment, incorrect application method,
Very poor demonstration of insecticide treatment.
Would have TDA all over his license
I don't recommend portraying Bifentthrin a safe product for any animals or humans. I always refer people to follow the directions of the label and wear the proper PPE . 👌
of course. Do It Yourself means user beware. Don't rely on 1 source, or on any one video. The stuff works though! The sprayer is great. When used safely and aware of your surroundings, you can safely spray this as you would any ready to use lawn chemical. EVERY product like this will warn you to mask up and use precaution.
In shorts with no PPE ?
Yes.
I love mine except for the leakage that soaks my back and runs down my pants.
You say it's safe for pets, which it is but keep your pets inside for an hour after spraying so it drys up. Because it can be toxic to your pets if consumed in a high dose, for example, licking the wet solution.
Always wear a respirator even if up wind of it.
What’s the product called ????
what type of lawn do you have? beautiful
thank you! emerald zoysia - We did a video here about this property - czcams.com/video/7filv-RW1w8/video.html
Your lawn looks like a putting green
Thanks. He works hard at the stores and likes to work in his own yard hard too!
My God….your grass!
What is written on a pesticide label is law. This is a great example why people should not have access to commercial grade insecticides. No gloves, long pants, long sleeve shirt, or socks. Safety gasses are not required by law, but recommended. Not wearing a filtered mask is insane! Also, the areas you were treating are not approved on the label. The pesticide is labeled as "extremely toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates". It is safe for mammals, but you still want to use common sense. Not trying to give you too hard of a time, but you are breaking laws and compromising your safety. My best advice to you, and people who are watching this video, is to read the pesticide label. What is written there is LAW. If you were to get sick, or have respiratory ailment, YOU are liable, not the company. All that said, I love the spirit of what you are trying to do.
I guess you drive exactly ge speed limit, not 1kph over ever because that is breaking the law...it's his Lawn and he can spray whatever he wants. ...

It is amazing how americans or canadians (i guess) use no protection at all, and they have the courage to find a reason for not to do so. Well, its their health not mine.
yep
MAKE SURE YOU PLACE YOUR LEFT HAND IN YOUR POCKET FOR BETTER ESTABILITY....
(joke).....
ok so you are saying its ok to walk into insecticide but not herbicides? well for starters i find that very misleading i have been in pest control for several years and that type of info is misleading and very dangerous to your audience. do you know the health concerns with direct contact from drift of the product used? you should be more responsible with the content in your video before you make yourself or neighbors sick with misapplications. if you want to purchase the insecticides and do the job yourself fine but study the product first thoroughly wear PROPER PPE then go from there. in short hire a professional who has gone through training/ licensing to do a safe and proper treatment.
You are so right, Chris. No mask because its not intrusive sends a message to the DIY that I can do that with all spraying.
Oxygen causes cancer
Wear long sleeve shirt and pants at least and a Covid mask or 2
Why are you not wearing a mask respirator
Because a CZcams video isn’t Gospel. Also because if you’re careful and know what you’re doing and have measured accurately and wind is at your back and you’re doing a very small area… and not drinking the stuff, you’re gonna be ok. You be you. Everyone can read the label and warnings and choose for themselves. Thanks for watching and commenting.
❤️🇲🇨🙏
You need to wear PPE and practice safe operational behaviors if making an informative video on pesticide and it’s application. Very dangerous and unprofessional not to do so.
I was just about to say that. Can’t be walking around in shorts and a T shirt. Practice safe applications practice.
He’s good
Ohh the safety crew showed up ⬆️ lol
Gfy, it’s good for your immune system
Your also supposed to wear your mask when visiting grocery stores
no PPE protection at all? No mask? eye protection? long sleeve shirt and long pants? hmm ...
Maybe I’m just paranoid…but I’d definitely look like a whacko wearing a suit and a respirator.
