    If you are having this issue before replacing the batteries try raising the bottle above the sprayer. For example hold the bottle at eye level and hold the sprayer at waist level then press the trigger. This will utilize gravity allowing the pump in the sprayer to prime with the liquid. It’s less about a battery issue and more about the strength of the pump working against gravity. If your sprayer sounds weak then replace the battery then follow the steps above to prime it.

    Well. Took me a while. None of those issues for me. The answer? The dang wand will still run with the batteries in “upside down “. I noticed bubbles in the sink….it was sucking room air and working in reverse. Not an Apple product 😂 3:04

    I switched out the batteries, and it still didn't work (my batteries were actually still on the 'good' side when tested). I read in the comments to lift the container above the gun, still nothing. So I unscrewed the cap and lifted the tube in the container a little, still keeping the gun lower than the container, and it started spraying. Don't know why 🙂

    Thanks for the video but new batteries didn't fix my Flip and Go Bug Stop sprayer. I'm on my second sprayer after the first one quit and the second one quit about 3/4 through the bottle. None of the other tips work for me either, but I did find something that worked that I will share with anyone who may be having trouble with this frustrating problem (where it's not a battery problem). 1. Unscrew the top by holding the bottle while twisting the top counter clockwise. 2. Place the sprayer tube that goes inside the bottle into the end of a garden hose (no nozzle) and turn it on low. 3. Press the power button and rotate the nozzle upside down while watching for the flow to resume through the sprayer, may have to turn it upside down a couple times before it starts flowing again. Worked for me, hope this helps.

Quite frustrating because I had previously bought the larger 1 gallon size and it would not work at all but did not save my receipt. In the mean times the weeds are going crazy, I am disabled and so tired of spending money, driving and spending gas and nothing is working. I have followed all spectracide tips. No idea how to do anything with this flip & go if you figure it out please post. I will try to figure out the other one tomorrow in the daytime. That one never sprayed at all or made any sound.

    Try raising the bottle above the sprayer. For example hold the bottle at eye level and hold the sprayer at waist level then press the trigger. This will utilize gravity allowing the pump in the sprayer to prime. It’s less about a battery issue and more about the strength of the pump working against gravity.

    This post is useless. I went through three battery operated bug sprayers before I learned the lesson. All of the battery operated sprayers crap out after the first couple of uses whether you replace the batteries or not. It's a marketing gimmick to get you to replace it frequently. Buy yourself an inexpensive pump sprayer and the cheaper version of Spectracide, etc. without the built-in sprayer.
