So, grab your hot cocoa, and prepare to reclaim your winter weekends!

Invest in a high-quality deicer sprayer.

• Skid Sprayer: If you already have an ATV or UTV that you want to add a deicer sprayer onto, there are a variety of custom skid sprayer units that can be designed to fit your spraying needs and the capacity of your vehicle.
• Size and Range: An ATV sprayer is smaller and designed to handle tighter areas where lighter applications are needed. A UTV sprayer is larger with the capacity to handle a bigger sprayer unit for more deicing power over a greater area.
• Features: Look for options like adjustable pressure, spray patterns, and boom extensions for precise targeting.

Choose your liquid deicing solution wisely.

• Light Frost: A simple brine sprayer solution might do the trick.
• Thicker Ice: Calcium chloride packs a powerful punch for stubborn ice.
• Environmentally Friendly: According to PennState Extension, calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) is less toxic to plants, animals, and waterways than chloride solutions, although it is a costlier option.

Adjust the spray pattern and flow rate to match the situation.

• Fine Mist: Delicate surfaces like brick walkways benefit from a gentle mist.
• Wide Fan: Large areas like driveways require a broader spray pattern for efficient coverage.

Be proactive!

Apply deicer before snowfall to prevent ice from bonding, making ice and snow removal a breeze later.

Pay extra attention to:

• Walkways: Treacherous ice patches love to lurk here.
• Around Mailboxes: Don't let hidden ice turn mail retrieval into a slip-and-slide.
• Roof Edges: Ice dams can wreak havoc on your roof. Use your deicer to prevent them from forming. Long handled spray guns can help a lot here.
