When is dusting considered the best treatment method?

Dusting is considered the best treatment method in dry, calm weather due to several factors. When the environment is dry, the dust can adhere more effectively to surfaces without being dampened or washed away, which maximizes its efficacy in pest control. Calm conditions reduce the likelihood of the dust dispersing into the air or being blown away by wind, ensuring that it remains concentrated on the target areas where pests are likely to reside. This controlled application not only improves the treatment's effectiveness but also helps in minimizing the amount of product used, reducing waste and potential environmental impact.

In contrast, applying dust on hot days often leads to evaporation of the active ingredients before they can take effect. Windy conditions can cause the dust to scatter, resulting in uneven coverage and reduced effectiveness. Raining conditions can wash away dust products entirely, nullifying the treatment. Therefore, conducting dusting treatments in dry, calm weather is crucial to achieving optimal results.
