For a consistent application, what is the ideal pressure for indoor spraying?

The ideal pressure for indoor spraying is critically important in ensuring that products are applied evenly and effectively. A pressure range of 7-10 psi is generally considered optimal for indoor applications because it allows for a fine, controlled mist that can adequately cover surfaces without causing unintended splatter or runoff. This range facilitates thorough coverage of targeted areas while reducing the risk of over-application, which can lead to waste and potential harm to non-target areas.

In this range, the pressure is sufficient to atomize the product for an even distribution, which enhances the effectiveness of the treatment by ensuring that the active ingredients can adequately contact pests or surfaces. It strikes a balance that prevents both under-application, which could leave pest control measures ineffective, and over-application, which could pose safety risks and lead to environmental concerns.

Higher pressures than this can result in larger droplets that do not adhere well to surfaces, potentially diminishing the effectiveness of the treatment. Conversely, lower pressures may lead to inadequate coverage, failing to provide the desired protection or pest control. Thus, the range of 7-10 psi is a well-established standard in the field for consistent and effective indoor pesticide application.
