If it is slightly windy while treating the base of a home, what should be done?

Using other treatment methods is important when it is slightly windy while treating the base of a home because wind can affect the dispersal of the treatment product, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness and unintended drift. When conditions are not ideal for a conventional treatment application, such as strong winds, it may be more prudent to consider alternative strategies or methods that are less likely to be impacted by the wind.

For example, using localized bait or granular treatments that are less susceptible to drift could be more effective and safer under windy conditions. This approach ensures that the treatment is applied effectively and minimizes the risk of the product moving off-target. Furthermore, it is essential to prioritize environmental safety and prevent potential exposure to non-target organisms.

Rescheduling the treatment may not always be necessary, especially if alternate methods can be employed effectively. Continuing with the treatment without considering the wind conditions could compromise the efficacy and safety of the application, while applying more product could lead to waste and potential environmental concerns. Therefore, adapting the method to the environmental conditions is the best course of action.
