, money, contaminate the spray area, and face penalties for exceeding the label
rates. Calibration techniques help you to configure the output of your sprayer so
that you know exactly how much you are applying to a given area.
Using a mouse-sized snap trap to catch rats is inappropriate and ineffective.
Conversely, using a rat trap to catch mice will lead to many sprung traps with
few captures.
Cool. Warm water helps break down pesticides and increases their odor. Never use
warm water to mix pesticide sprays.
Bulb dusters, bellow dusters, and plunger dusters. Bellow dusters have a spout with
a tapered tip. These dusters effectively propel pesticide dust into cracks and
crevices.

Rodents (mice and rats). Place traps close to the walls, behind objects
in dark corners, and in other areas where rats and mice are active.
Place traps so that rats and mice will pass directly over the trigger as
they follow their natural course of travel (usually close to a wall).

Briefly describe aerosol systems and the proper use of aerosol
containers.

Aerosols deliver small droplets that remain in the air briefly. The droplets may
also settle on a surface that pest will contact. As a rule, use aerosol products
as a directed spray, not as a space spray.
These devices are small and easy to move and place. They are designed to attract
the target pest, not nontarget organisms. The toxin is contained, so that it is not
easily accessible to children and pets.
, Travel speed is the speed at which you and your equipment travel while you are
making an application. The slower you walk, the more spray you deliver per unit
area. Conversely, the faster you walk, the less spray you deliver. For example,
doubling your walking speed will reduce the amount of spray applied by one-half.
Keep them in a cool place. Overheating can cause the contents to expand, which
can make the container explode.

The main advantage of using a glue board is that you can release non
target catches relatively unharmed by applying a coating of vegetable
or cooking oil. However, glue boards do not kill quickly. Captured
animals may suffer a slow and inhumane death if they are left
unattended for a long time or if they are discarded, still living, along
with the glue board.
