What is the recommended application rate for liquid treatment in new construction?

The recommended application rate for liquid treatment in new construction is 1 gallon per 10 square feet. This rate is established to ensure effective pest control while also adhering to safety and regulatory standards. Proper application rates are crucial for achieving an adequate barrier against pests during the construction phase, as they help to prevent infestations before a building is occupied.

When using this rate, it is important to consider factors such as soil type, moisture levels, and the specific pests being targeted, as these can influence the effectiveness of the treatment. Applying too little may not provide sufficient protection, while applying too much can pose risks to humans, animals, and the environment.

Understanding this standard helps pest control professionals ensure that they are applying treatments in an effective and responsible manner, while also remaining compliant with local regulations regarding pest management.
