Do pesticides come in different forms? How should one use pesticides?
Pesticides are available in two basic forms : concentrates and ready-to-use (RTU). Some Concentrates are mixed in recommended doses with carriers (such as water or solvents) to achieve a diluted liquid that can be sprayed, injected or applied to target areas, while certain concentrates, in powder form, need to be mixed with a bait material before use (especially for rodenticides). Concentrates as well as RTUs are available in liquid, powder (dust), gel, granular or cake form. These can be applied through various means such as sprayers, dusters, specialised applicators or manual placement. All RTU pesticides available over the counter should be used after thoroughly reading the label instructions; some household pesticides are available only for professional use. Concentrates available to professional pest managers or pest control operators (PCOs) cannot be used directly as they are too toxic to be used as such and intended dosage on target cannot be achieved.
