What type of application equipment is suitable for perimeter treatment?

Backpack sprayers and large capacity sprayers are ideal for perimeter treatments because they allow for efficient and effective pesticide application around the foundational areas of a structure. These types of equipment enable the applicator to cover larger areas, ensuring a consistent and thorough distribution of the pesticide along the perimeter where pests often enter or reside.

Backpack sprayers provide mobility and flexibility, letting the user easily navigate around different obstacles, while large capacity sprayers can hold more product, which is beneficial for extensive treatments. This combination allows for both control and convenience, allowing the pest management professional to address potential entry points effectively.

The other options do not provide the appropriate application methods for perimeter treatments. Handheld sprayers might not cover enough area efficiently, thermal foggers are typically used for different applications such as treating larger areas or for specific types of pest control, and a computer and software are not application equipment at all—they may be useful for planning or record-keeping but do not perform the physical act of applying pesticides.
