Dust

Dust, in the pest control industry, often refers to a fine powder-like substance containing minuscule particles, commonly used for pest extermination purposes. Dust treatments may include all-natural components or synthetic chemicals tailored specifically to combat different types of pests, such as insects or rodents. A professional pest controller applies this dust into the crevices, cracks, or voids where pests are likely to reside. When pests come into contact with this powder, they carry it along, infecting themselves and also spreading it throughout their colony, making it a powerful and effective tool in the broad-spectrum pest management strategy. Despite there being a variety of dust types, it is crucial to match the correct dust product to the targeted pest for an effective pest control program.
