What is the purpose of the crack and crevice treatment?

The purpose of the crack and crevice treatment is to place insecticide into areas where pests hide or enter a building. This method targets specific locations where pests are likely to harbor, such as cracks, crevices, gaps, and other secluded spots. By applying pesticides in these targeted areas, the treatment effectively disrupts the pest's pathways and nesting sites, which are often overlooked in broad applications. This approach minimizes the volume of active ingredient used while maximizing its efficacy by ensuring that pests come into contact with the treatment as they move through their environments.

In contrast, applying pesticides to open areas may not be as effective because it can disperse the product widely and reduce contact with hiding pests. Spraying walls directly for maximum coverage might not penetrate the tight spaces pests use for shelter. Lastly, using gas formulations in prominent spaces may not provide the targeted impact necessary for effective pest control, as it could lead to greater dispersal and less precise treatment compared to focused applications in cracks and crevices.
