No!!! I recall someone doing that in the past and it ruined their plants.

Better safe than sorry!

A pump sprayer will cost you about $8 at home depot. Buy 2 or more of them and label them for a specific use.

2,4-D can be neutralized with bleach or ammonia (NOT BOTH!)but not if it has been absorbed into rubber. Any plastic or metal sprayer can be properly cleaned of 2,4-D & reused for pumpkins. However the rubber hose(s), o-rings, seals & diaphragms should all be changed.
