What describes the role of treatment pressure in effective termite control?

The role of treatment pressure in effective termite control is closely linked to the efficiency of the treatment application. A high treatment pressure can significantly improve the distribution and penetration of the termiticide into the target areas. When the pressure is increased, it allows for deeper penetration into the soil and ensures that the solution is effectively delivered to likely termite habitats. This results in better coverage of the area being treated, which is crucial for effective control of termite populations.

In contrast, low treatment pressure would not achieve the necessary depth or distribution, potentially leading to ineffective treatment. Similarly, asserting that pressure should always be maintained at maximum overlooks the importance of balancing efficacy with safety and material properties, as excessive pressure can damage structures or reduce efficacy due to runoff. Understanding the optimal pressure helps technicians deliver a more targeted and effective treatment.
