ANP Services Spalding now qualified for knapsack spraying...

Posted by Adam Pilgrim on March 9, 2013 at 4:57pm

From Friday 8th March 2013, ANP Services Spalding are now qualified for spraying pest and herbicides (weedkillers) via knapsack sprayers.

All operators that apply pest or herbicides on a commercial basis MUST LEGALLY be qualified to apply these products - failure to do this is illegal - if in doubt, just ask your operator to see their NPTC qualification card.

In order to attain this qualification, two training courses and assessments have to be taken in order to prove competence to NPTC Standards.

We have taken both of these courses and successfully passed on Friday 8th March, allowing us to now offer a herb and pesticide application service to all of our customers both domestic and commercial.

Use of weedkillers is not just restricted to gravel paths or driveways, selective weedkillers can be used to control weeds in turf, lawns and paddocks.

For more information, or if you have any more questions about how we could help you, please feel free to contact us:

"Tripods are better than any other ladder that's a fact. You can cut hedges that are lower than the ladder but it is more awkward, I have a 6ft amd a 12 foot been using both for the last 15yrs and haven't come stuck yet. Believe me once you've had…"

Hi.Does a mossey lawn always equal a full lawn renovation? Once you kill (or control) moss the customer is left with brown / black dead moss all over their lawn. So then its needs scarifying to rake it up, then usually a preseed fert, seed and top…
