What type of equipment should be used for injecting termiticide?

The use of equipment containing tight seals and valves is essential when injecting termiticide to ensure effective treatment and prevent leakage. Tight seals help to maintain pressure in the system, which is crucial for delivering the termiticide accurately and effectively into the targeted areas, such as soil around a foundation. This prevents the product from escaping into the environment and minimizes the risk of contamination.

Properly sealed equipment also allows for controlled application, reducing the chances of oversaturation or under-application, both of which can diminish the effectiveness of the termiticide. The presence of valves allows for better control over the flow of the chemical, ensuring it is applied where and how it’s needed.

Using equipment with loose seals or without any seals compromises both the integrity of the application and the safety of the surrounding environment, making them unsuitable for professional use in pest control. Similarly, equipment with nozzles that do not require a collar may not provide the precision or reliability needed for effective termiticide injection.
