Spraying
What is Spraying?
Spraying is a method of applying liquid pesticides or disinfectants to target insects, pests, bacteria, or fungi on surfaces, plants, or structures. It involves the use of sprayers to disperse the chemical solution in droplets over affected areas.
How Does Spraying Work?
Preparation
Identify the pest problem and choose the appropriate pesticide or disinfectant.
Mix the solution according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
Wear protective gear (gloves, mask, goggles).
Application
A sprayer (manual, motorized, or automated) releases the liquid in a controlled manner.
The pesticide coats surfaces, leaves, or cracks where pests reside.
Absorption & Effect
The chemical is absorbed by pests through direct contact, ingestion, or residual exposure.
Some sprays work immediately, while others have long-lasting effects.
Post-Application Safety
Avoid touching or washing treated areas immediately.
Allow the spray to dry before re-entering the space.
Types of Spraying
Space Spraying
Fine mist is released into the air to kill flying insects.
Example: Mosquito control in rooms, barns, or greenhouses.
Residual Spraying
Leaves a protective layer that kills pests over time.
Example: Termite control, mosquito repellents on walls.
Systemic Spraying
The plant absorbs the pesticide, and pests die when feeding on it.
Example: Agricultural pest control (aphids, whiteflies).
Contact Spraying
Kills pests upon direct contact.
Example: Cockroach sprays, disinfectant sprays.

Spraying vs. Fogging vs. Fumigation
| Feature | Spraying | Fogging | Fumigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application | Liquid droplets | Fine mist | Gas/vapor |
| Best for | Surface pests & plants | Airborne pests & disinfection | Deep infestations (sealed spaces) |
| Penetration | Low to moderate | Moderate | High |
| Residue | Leaves chemical residue | Minimal | No residue |
| Usage Areas | Homes, farms, offices, gardens | Rooms, warehouses, hospitals | Sealed structures, containers |
Is Spraying Right for You?
- ✔ For home pest control: If you have ants, cockroaches, or mosquitoes.
- ✔ For agriculture & gardening: To protect crops from insects and diseases.
- ✔ For disinfection: In hospitals, offices, and food industries.
- ❌ Not ideal for deep infestations like termites (fumigation is better).
