    Default Backpack Blowers/Misters

    Do they make one in a lefty hand configuration?

    I know this is so extra, so I am prepared for the comments...but dangit blowing leaves right handed sucks.

    Tried it. Had to stop. Carbon monoxide is a thing.

    Redmax makes a lefty but it just puts the throttle at the left hip. Still have to sweep with right arm.

    It's not dramatic. It's...extra. I am ok with extra.

    They make an attachment that converts it to left handed.

    Talstar + Tekko Pro + surfactant. Try to spray during the first or last hour of the day.

    While there aren't many backpack blowers made specifically for left-handed users, there are a few options you can try.
    Some backpack blowers, like the Echo PB-580T and Stihl BG 86, have controls that can be used by either hand. They also have adjustable hip pads for comfort.
    Another option is the RedMax EBZ7500, which has a hip throttle that can be converted from right-handed to left-handed operation.
    If you can't find a suitable left-handed blower, there's the Next Level Engineering Lefty Blower Attachment. This kit lets you convert a right-handed blower to left-handed use.
    As for workarounds, you could try practicing with a right-handed blower or consider using a handheld blower instead.
    In the end, choose what works best for you based on your needs, budget, and yard size.

    I am using Talak and tekko pro. Talstar may be the say, bifenthrin.

    Works well

    I use Talstar as well as one other chemical I can’t think of at the moment. My buddy worked for terminix for a few years and recommended them. I spray right before dark and if we don’t get a ton of rain it will last for about a month.
