What is the typical method for applying granules in pest control?

Using spreaders is the typical method for applying granules in pest control because this equipment allows for an even and efficient distribution of granule products across an area. Spreaders can cover larger spaces more quickly than manual application and ensure that the granules are evenly dispersed, which is critical for achieving effective pest control. This uniform application helps to reduce waste and maximize the granules' effectiveness, as pests are more likely to encounter and ingest the treatment when applied evenly.

In contrast, applying granules by hand can lead to uneven distribution, making it harder to achieve the desired level of pest control. Other methods such as using sprayers are generally more suited for liquid applications rather than granular products, further emphasizing the appropriateness of spreaders for this task.
