Aerosol Droplets That Are Produced By Dyna-Fog® Units Have A Wide Range Of Uses And Applications On Foodstuffs As Well As Other Products Such As Tobacco And Leather In Storage. The Thermal Fogs Create Small Droplets That Will Carry Into Virtually The Entire Airspace In A Building. In Addition, ULV Droplets Will Enter Airspaces Without Remaining In The Air For An Extended Time Period, And, With Some Units, The Droplets Can Be Formed In Adequate Numbers To Create A Wetting Effect On A Variety Of Surfaces.
TREATMENT OF EMPTY STORES:
Comprehensive Cleaning Of The Structure Is An Essential Requirement For Successful Insect Control, Ensuring That Layers Of Dust And Debris Do Not Protect Insects And Other Vermin. After A Thorough Cleaning, A Good Extermination Of Exposed Insects Can Be Accomplished With A Fogging ULV Machine. In Cases Where A Residual Deposit Is Also Needed, A ULV Unit That Delivers The Correct Size Droplets, Will Result In A Good Knockdown Of Insects In Satisfactory Numbers, As Well As Give A Wetting Effect To Surfaces. A ULV Unit Is Also Ideal When The Structure Is Fabricated Of Materials, Which Have Deep Cracks And Crevices (Such As Wood Or Brick), Where The Greater Wetting Capability Of ULV-Sized Droplets Will Result In Greater Infiltration.
TREATMENT OF BULK STORED POTATOES:
A Thermal Fog Can Be Applied As A Sprout Suppressant Of Potatoes Stored In Boxes Or In Bulk. In A Large Bulk Stack Configuration, Forced Air Is Required To Assist The Fog Through The Stack. When The Stack Is Covered With Straw For Frost Protection, Caution Should Be Exercised In Handling The Unit, Ensuring That The Straw Does Not Ignite.
TREATMENT OF BAGGED PRODUCE AND PROCESSING ROOMS:
Generally, Only Natural Pyrethrins Can Be Used To Treat Bagged Produce And In Processing Rooms: In Addition, A Suitable Formulation For Either Thermal Fogging Or ULV Should Be Selected. Typically, Only Insects On The Bags’ Surfaces And Flying Insects Will Be Controlled. Best Results Are Usually Attained With An Oil-Based Product Containing At Least 3 Percent Pyrethrum. Alternatively, If A Water-Based Product Is Utilized, Some Sort Of Carrier Should Be Used To Prevent The Droplets From Evaporating In The Atmosphere Before They Reach The Target Surface Or Object.
