Granular formulations are made of larger, more uniform particles than dust formulations. True or false?

Granular formulations are indeed made of larger, more uniform particles compared to dust formulations. This distinction is important for their application and effectiveness in pest control. Granular formulations typically consist of particles that are more substantial, which allows for targeting specific areas, as they can be spread over surfaces and can also provide a slow-release effect, thereby prolonging the availability of the active ingredient.

In contrast, dust formulations are finer and more powdery, allowing them to settle into cracks and crevices and adhere to surfaces more effectively. However, they can be more easily dispersed by air movement, which means they may not stay in place as long as granules.

This difference in particle size and formulation not only affects how these products are applied but also influences their interaction with pests and the environment, making it critical for pest control professionals to choose the right formulation based on the specific pest and environment they are dealing with.
