No one has answered, and I don't know the answer. Some forms of vapor can drift for miles. 2,4-D is one of them. In your favor you are using only a small gun with one outlet, as opposed to multiple outlets on a tractor or airplane sprayer. I also have built a booth, nearest neighbor is more like 3-500 ft, but his horses may be only 50-60 feet away, depending on where they are on his property. I have not yet used my booth, but am going to tie the lever down, go outside and see where the stuff is going. Only using a quart or so at a time, I wouldn't think it would do much, but don't ask the fire marshall, or the envionmental people! How fast it dissipates depends on the temperature, humidity, wind direction and wind speed. Most such vapors are lighter than air, meaning that they rise. I think I would rather have a 10 mph wind to break the stuff up, rather than an intact cloud, that can ride on a slight breeze for long distances. Bear in mind that what I say may be BS, because I have no idea of the chemical reactions.
