What should be done with the nozzles after rinsing the system?

When it comes to maintaining nozzles after rinsing the pest control system, the correct approach involves removing and storing them in light oil or diesel fuel. This practice is vital for the longevity and proper functioning of the nozzles. Storing nozzles in light oil or diesel helps prevent the buildup of residues that can clog the nozzles and ensures they remain lubricated, reducing wear and tear.

This method also keeps the nozzles from drying out and forming deposits that might obstruct spray patterns. It is a common practice in pest control and agricultural settings to ensure that equipment is kept in optimal condition and ready for the next use. Proper maintenance not only extends the life of the nozzles but also maintains the efficiency and effectiveness of the application system as a whole.

In contrast, other methods, such as storing the nozzles in plain water or leaving them in the tank, could lead to corrosion or the development of clogs due to stagnant water and biological growth. Additionally, cleaning the nozzles with a brush and storing them dry might not provide adequate protection against potential debris accumulation. Such practices may not offer the same level of protection and maintenance as storing them in light oil or diesel fuel does.
