Wildlife managers are encouraged to ensure their spray rigs are in top condition to support habitat management efforts. Proper maintenance helps prevent chemical carryover, maintains nozzle accuracy, and keeps pumps functioning smoothly, according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.
Officials emphasize that well-maintained equipment protects investments and benefits wildlife such as deer, turkeys, and pollinators. Regular cleaning, calibration, and proper storage are key steps to improve spray accuracy, reduce waste, and enhance habitat outcomes.
The department provides a comprehensive guide with tips on spray rig maintenance. Managers are advised to review the resource to keep their equipment performing at its best. More information is available on the department’s website.
