What differentiates spot treatment from crack and crevice treatment?

Spot treatment and crack and crevice treatment serve different purposes in pest management, primarily based on their application techniques and target areas.

Spot treatment refers to the application of pesticides in a specific, localized area where pest activity has been observed. This method is designed to target a small section, effectively managing pest populations without applying chemicals over larger areas unnecessarily.

On the other hand, crack and crevice treatment focuses on applying pesticides in small, often hidden spaces where pests can harbor or move, such as gaps, cracks, and joints in structures. This method is particularly effective for not only treating existing infestations but also preventing future pest entry by targeting areas that are prone to pest activity.

In summary, the key distinction lies in the application focus: spot treatment is about targeting a specific area of visible pest activity, while crack and crevice treatment is about reaching often concealed pest habitats. This understanding aids in selecting the appropriate method for effective pest control.
