Application Method
Method of Application | General Description |
---|---|
Broadcast |
Hardscape/Impervious Surfaces V/S Soil/Mulch Areas Uniform application of a pesticide to an entire area |
Crack and Crevice Treatment |
Application of small amounts of pesticide into cracks and/or crevices in which pests hide or through which they may enter a building. Such openings commonly occur at expansion joints, between elements of construction and between equipment and floors. |
Direct Spray |
Application may specifically target pests by such as an insect nest and minimizes pesticide contact with non-target plants and animals |
Drill & treat |
Drill into concrete and treat beneath floor areas at cracks & expansion joints to eliminate infestation under concrete slab. |
Exclusion |
Protecting an area against pest access either by mechanical alteration (physical exclusion) or by rendering access points and harborage impassable via chemical repellency (chemical exclusion) |
Perimeter Treatment |
Application to the border or outer boundary of an area. It can be applied as a perimeter barrier; application to building foundations, up to maximum height of 3-feet and 3- feet band around your home having soil & vegetation around structures. Flat-fan nozzle Adjust the nozzle on the sprayer until you have a coarse (flat fan nozzle), low-pressure spray.Flat fan produce a fan type spray pattern. These patterns provide an even coat of spray |
Foam |
Application of pesticide mixed with a foaming agent to areas such as voids |
Fumigation |
Application of a fumigant to a structure or enclosed space at a specified concentration and exposure period |
General Spray |
Application to broad surfaces such as walls, floors and ceilings. |
Mist |
Application of a pesticide suspension of a finely divided liquid in a gas common in mosquito and other flying insect control. |
Monitoring & Trapping |
Technique of capturing pests as a means to identify, quantify or control adult stages of an infestation. |
Paint |
Application of a liquid pesticide by brushing or swabbing. |
Placement |
Application by placing or arranging the pesticide which is common in the use of self contained bait stations, gel bait applications, fly baits, and many rodenticides. |
Rod & Treat |
Rod injection of chemicals application of pesticide directly on or in the soil |
Space treatment |
Application of pesticide is dispersed into the air by foggers, misters, aerosol devices or vapor dispensers in an enclosed area for control of flying pests and exposed crawling pests. |
Soil treatment |
Application of pesticide directly on or in the soil |
Spot Treatment (Not Greater than 2 square feet) |
Application to small, distinct areas on which pests are likely to occur. These areas may include floors, walls, bases or undersides of equipment. A “spot” should not exceed two square feet. |
Sprinkle or Scatter |
To distribute in drops or particles. Commonly used for granular products. |
Sub Area Trench & Treat |
Trench and treat around piers and all wall areas in the sub areas of structures. |
Trench & Treat |
Trench and treat adjacent to the edges of concrete slabs. This is common entry point of termites. |
Void treatment |
Application to wall and equipment voids. Utilize injection tips for applications into harborage cracks & crevices. |
