Professional ULV Insecticides

PestFix stocks a brod range of ULV insecticides for treating flying and crawling insect infestations.

The term Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) (spraying) is used in the context of insecticide application methodology in the form of atomising or nebuliising the active ingredient in either a water-based or oil-based solution and then "misting" the affected area. Ultra-low volume application of pesticides can be defined as spraying at a Volume Application Rate (VAR) of less than 5 L/ha.

ULV spraying is a well-established space treatment technique in public health pest control situations.

A major benefit of ULV application is high work rate (i.e. hectares can be treated in one day). It is a good option if all (or some) of these conditions apply:

• Large area of land or space to treat
• Rapid response / knock-down required
• Little or no water for making pesticide tank mixtures
• Logistical problems for supplies
• Difficult terrain: poor access to target site
