Pesticides Formulations:
Spray:
Most commercial insecticides are produced in concentrated form (liquid, powder or crystals). The exterminators will create a liquid mixture of appropriate concentration for the extermination service.
Insecticide Spray is applied via a coarse sprayer. The liquid mist is applied as crack and crevice to key areas of pest nesting and foraging. Some liquid droplet will go off target and also fall down. Attempt is made that the spray is done in such fashion that it stays stuck to the treated surfaces and does not drip down.
Dust:
Some insecticides come in powder or dust formulations such as Boric Acid. These substances are usually applied via a duster. The dust does not travel too far from the duster so the duster nozzle has to be close to the target area. Any exposure to moisture should be minimized to hold the effectiveness of the dust.
Fogging:
Fogging is when a diluted liquid insecticide is dispersed via a fogger. We use electric fogging. The fogger forcefully pulls in ambient air and mixes it with insecticide and pushes it out via a nozzle. The exterminator carries the fogger on their person and directs the nozzle to the target areas and spaces. Fogging is also used to treat ambient air space to target flying insects.
