Compression sprayers are typically used for:

Compression sprayers are primarily designed for applying pesticides as a fine mist or spray, which is particularly effective for treating standing water where mosquito larvae develop. This makes them particularly suitable for larviciding, the process of targeting mosquito larvae before they mature into adults.

While the equipment can theoretically be used for both adulticiding and larviciding, its efficiency and typical applications lean towards the latter. Adulticiding often requires different equipment, such as thermal foggers or ultra-low volume (ULV) sprayers, which are better suited for dispersing pesticides over a wider area to target adult mosquitoes.

Understanding that compression sprayers are geared towards managing mosquito populations in their larval stages helps clarify their role in integrated pest management practices. This emphasizes the importance of addressing mosquito control at the earlier stages of their life cycle to reduce their overall population effectively.
