What is a common characteristic of ULV applications?

Low-volume applications are a defining characteristic of ULV (Ultra Low Volume) applications. These applications use a minimal amount of pesticide, which is effective for controlling mosquito populations by employing specialized equipment designed to create very small droplets. The reduced volume allows for a more efficient use of the insecticide and minimizes the environmental impact, as less chemical is needed to achieve effective pest control while also reducing drift and enhancing coverage over targeted areas.

In contrast, high-volume applications would require larger amounts of pesticide, which is not the focus of ULV systems. Likewise, larger droplet sizes are not characteristic of ULV applications, as the procedure aims to produce tiny droplets that maximize the area covered and enhance the insecticide's effectiveness. Finally, while timing can be crucial for pest control, limiting applications to only during the day does not serve as a defining feature of ULV techniques, as many such applications can be effectively deployed during twilight or night when mosquito activity peaks.
