What is an advantage of ULV applications?

The advantage of ultra-low volume (ULV) applications lies in their effectiveness against flying insects. ULV technology enables the application of very small droplets of pesticide, which allows for greater coverage and penetration into areas where flying insects are likely to be found. This method is particularly advantageous for targeting pests such as mosquitoes, flies, and gnats, as the fine mist can remain airborne longer and travel greater distances, ensuring that the treatment reaches insects that might be hard to target with larger droplets.

The fine particle size in ULV applications also allows for quick evaporation, which means that the active ingredients can more readily come into contact with the pests while minimizing exposure to non-target organisms. This makes ULV a preferred method in pest control when dealing with airborne pest populations, as it maximizes effectiveness while minimizing environmental and ecological impact.
