What is the typical mist blower output?

• A. 0.5-2 gal/min
• B. 0.05-0.2 gal/min
• C. 2-5 gal/min
• D. 5-10 gal/min

Answer: (A)

Mist blower output is the volume of liquid pesticide sprayed per minute. For ornamental and turf work, the typical range is about 0.5 to 2 gallons per minute. This balance provides a fine, even mist to cover foliage without creating runoff or excessive drift, and it aligns with common nozzle sizes, blower settings, and application speeds. Outputs much lower than this tend to under-apply and miss spots, while outputs much higher than this can over-wet surfaces and increase drift risk.
