Hedgewitch repellant

I've just bought some with the spayer and I can't get it to spray properly it just comes out in like a line nit a fine spray, I've altered the sprayer and tried a few times but it practically useless coming out like that it just leaves thick lines of the stuff.

Am I being thick or something and doing it wrong, I ended up just wearing a glove and putting on with my hand but it's not ideal.

Have you twisted the nozzle quite tight, sometimes when it's worked loose in transit & only sprays like a jet.

mine took a bit of fiddling to get the spray.

Often tighter than you think to get the spray
Could be faulty tho, ask them

Not that make but the one I use does that if I don't shake properly as the ingredients split.

I had this with mine. Worked perfectly the first time I used it then I attempted to turn it to 'Off' and messed things up. Next time coming out in a jet. Kept twiddling knob and eventually it worked properly, need to spray firmly as if a bit tentative it still tends to come out as a jet. Have to say it seems very effective.

I've just kept mine firing in a straight line as Bo is quite happy with it and I can stand quite far away and not breathe it in!

Most spray nozzles have a jet option and a spray option, so make sure you haven't got it to jet. It can be very hard to see by eye, especially if the little schematic is the same colour as the nozzle, so turning it 180 degrees would tell you if this is the case.

Ok thanks will mess around later with it

I love hedgewitch products but have found the same issue with the sprayer. Maybe decanting it into another container might help. I find generally speaking oil based products don't spray well, something to do with the viscosity. Is it oil based?

I put all my fly sprays into old washed out Canter mane and tail spray bottles, they seem more robust and less likely to clog than any of the others

I've done it I just kept tightening the adjuster and sprays a lovely fine mist now.

Thank you everyone

Louis was OK with it but Arabi didn't like it at all and ran around the stable then stopped and gave me a very cross look
