What is the purpose of a crack and crevice application?

The purpose of a crack and crevice application is to place small amounts of pesticide into cracks and crevices where pests may hide or reside. This method is effective because it targets specific areas where insects or rodents are likely to enter and establish themselves, such as gaps in walls, under sinks, or along baseboards. By focusing on these concealed spaces, applicators can effectively eliminate or control pest populations with minimal pesticide use and reduced risk to non-target organisms, including humans and beneficial insects. This targeted approach enhances the efficiency of pest management strategies, as it minimizes exposure to open areas while effectively addressing pest habitats.
