    Maybe you could just add a longer hose to conventional trigger sprayer?

    Those commonly are attached to bottles of insecticide sprayers.

    Lee, if you can't find the spray head are you open to using a different sprayer? This would require pouring the liquid from one to the other, of course.

    The reason I ask is some years ago I started buying Solo pressurized pump sprayers for fly repellent for the horses. Bottles of fly repellent come with a trigger head and it took a lot of trigger pulls to treat three horses every day. I typically keep the repellent in gallon sizes and would refill smaller containers with trigger spray heads.

    These are available in different sizes and are such an improvement! A few quick pumps and the repellent is so effortless now. The only down side is having to refill from the other container but I don't find that a problem.

    I bought some of each but like the 2-liter size best: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HJGVN2

    Also, I had one product with a damaged spray head and I was able to pull the longer pickup hose off and replace a shorter hose on a working spray head.

    Lowes stocks a similar sprayer (Chapin Home and Garden 2.0 L) for about ten bucks. I don't think it's a good idea to pull sprayer from insecticide and use for other purposes. Read the label.

    Do you mean Chapin? I haven't tried that but I've tried others which were unsatisfactory. The Solo is the best I've used in that class.

    I agree about keeping insecticide sprayers for insecticide use. Same with herbicide, etc.
