Safe use of pesticides and its precautions
The importance of proper and safe application of pesticides in pest control in Abu Dhabi. Proper application is the key to success in using pesticides safely and effectively. Simply, the good application process is in which the insecticide is delivered to the target surface in an appropriate quantity and manner to achieve the best results with the lowest costs and the least amount of undesirable damage to the environment and those in charge of the application. Therefore, the information related to the selection of the insecticide to control insects, the appropriate preparation and the appropriate machine, and its proper use and following Protection methods to avoid exposure to the insecticide and adherence to periods of caution and prohibition are among the necessary requirements that each user of insecticides must understand before applying.
Choosing the right pesticide to control insects in Abu Dhabi
Good selection of the pesticide in pest control is one of the most important factors for obtaining good control. The choice of the insecticide is preceded by the definition and characterization of the pest to be combated and its relationship to the host and other existing and accompanying organisms. Insect control should be carried out if the benefit is tangible, that is, when the infestation reaches a critical point at which the control is feasible. The recommended concentration in pest control must be adhered to and not increased or decreased to avoid problems. The appropriate application method must be chosen and ensure that it is free of defects, and it must be calibrated before spraying. The validity time and prohibition periods must be taken into consideration.
Choosing the right preparation
The insecticide is present in several forms or commercial preparations. It is preferable to use preparations with a residual effect for a long time, as it is difficult for the insect to come into contact with the pesticide during application. It is also possible to use oily preparations on porous surfaces because they have the ability to penetrate through them, and commercial preparations differ in terms of safety, as we find, for example, granules that are safer than spray materials and dusting powders, as they do not drift when applied. Also, the necessary quantity of fertilizer must be calculated, and enough must be purchased to perform the work or to cover the area to be sprayed, in order to avoid storage problems or to get rid of excess quantities.
Mixing pesticides and pesticides
Insecticides are mixed in order to increase their effectiveness against an insect or to combat more than one insect at a time. This leads to reducing time and costs and reducing damage, but there are some problems that may result from the mixing process, so the success of the mixing process depends on:
1. Mixture spray timing compatibility
2. Natural and chemical compatibility where one component of the mixture does not affect the terminating properties of the other component
3. Compatibility in the volume of the spray solution.
4. The mixture should be suitable for the places where insects are to be controlled.
5. Not to increase the levels of pesticides.
6. The mixture should not be left in a container or spray tank for a long time.
