Windy day application increases hazard to you and bystanders.

When applying pesticides on a windy day, the increased wind can lead to the drift of airborne particles, compromising the effectiveness of the application and posing greater risks to both the applicator and bystanders. Wind can carry pesticide droplets away from the target area, potentially exposing unintended surfaces and individuals. This drift can result in contact with sensitive regions such as residential areas, gardens, or water bodies, raising concerns about the safety of people, pets, wildlife, and the environment.

Additionally, windy conditions can make it more difficult to maintain control over the application equipment and ensure that pesticides are applied evenly and in the correct locations. This lack of control further increases the potential for unintended exposure, thereby emphasizing the importance of considering environmental conditions when planning pesticide applications. As a result, conducting applications on windy days is generally discouraged for safety and regulatory compliance reasons.
