For which type of job are dusts NOT often used?

Dusts are commonly utilized in various pest control applications due to their ability to settle into cracks, crevices, and other hard-to-reach areas. They are particularly effective for controlling indoor pests, as well as external parasites and animals, due to their persistent nature and ease of application.

In contrast, recreational turf areas typically require a different formulation to ensure effective coverage and treatment over the larger area and different types of foliage involved. Dusts may not adhere well to the surfaces of grass and soil compared to liquids or granules, which can provide a more uniform distribution and better absorption through foliage. This makes dusts less suitable for treating recreational turf areas, where the physical conditions and pest challenges differ significantly from indoor environments or specific targeted applications, such as on flowering plants. Additionally, using dusts on turf can create a risk of unwanted drift or dispersal that could affect the surrounding environment and non-target organisms.
