What characteristic is typical of "Dust" formulations?

Dust formulations are characterized by their ability to adhere to surfaces and deliver pesticide agents effectively in a dry form. They are particularly advantageous for use in confined spaces, such as cracks, crevices, and narrow gaps, where traditional liquid applications may not penetrate adequately. The fine particles of dust can settle and remain effective over time, providing a longer-lasting solution in targeted areas.

Using dust in confined spaces takes advantage of its ability to diffuse and settle into areas that are difficult to reach with other formulations. This makes it especially useful for controlling pests in locations such as wall voids, attics, and basements, where moisture from liquids could lead to other issues, such as mold.

While other formulations like liquids can cover larger areas more effectively, the specific utility of dusts is in their precise application to confined areas, which is why their use is emphasized for such environments in pest control practices.
