What advantages do granules have over dusts and sprays?

Granules offer several advantages compared to dusts and sprays, particularly in terms of drift reduction and ease of application. When using granules, the particles tend to stay in place better than dusts, which can easily be carried away by wind, leading to unintentional applications or exposure to non-target areas. This characteristic reduces the risk of drift, making granules advantageous in situations where precise application is necessary.

Additionally, the application process for granules is generally simpler. They can be spread evenly over the target area using a variety of applicators, which promotes a uniform distribution and can be done with less specialized equipment compared to certain spray applications. The combination of reduced drift and straightforward application makes granules a user-friendly and effective option in many pest control scenarios.

While granules can have benefits in terms of cost-effectiveness and effectiveness in certain situations, these factors can vary and do not universally apply as a clear advantage over other forms. Safety precautions are always necessary regardless of the formulation being used to ensure that the applicator and surrounding environment are protected.
