"... Has anyone tried applying Sucrocide with a Windex-type plastic spray
bottle?  Or do I need to get a high-pressure garden-style sprayer?..."

Make sure you don't have any contamination in the sprayer you use, if it has
been used before.

I have an out-yard I manage for another beekeeper.  I used a sprayer that
has the graduations on the side so I could see how much I applied per frame.
I only did one hive out of ten, and had boards under the hives.  Funny thing
is the hive with the treatment dropped less thatn30/day, where as the others
(untreated) dropped closer to 50.
