Does anyone have a method/technique to spray insecticides that does not cover a person with overspray when you are spraying above your head? I am not talking about the spray that hits you when the wind blows back into your face - I am talking about the spray that falls back on you when you are spraying upwards. I have quite a few gypsy moth nests that I wish to spray with Spectricide, but the majority of nests are over my head though within reach of my pump sprayer.

The spray needs more pressure so that you spray from the side up to the tree top. I have sprayed fruit trees may years with a 3 gallon hand pump sprayer with no problem. Also ,most nozzles adjust to give a short range fog or a stream that can travel several feet.
