Which formulation is designed for easy spot treatment?

• A. Granular (G)
• B. Soluble Powder (SP)
• C. Pellet (P or PS)
• D. Wettable Powder (WP)

Answer: (C)

Spot treatment aims to apply product directly to a localized infestation with precise placement and minimal mess. A pellet formulation is well-suited for that because pellets are solid, compact units you can drop or place exactly where pests are active—cracks, voids, around baseboards, or in bait stations. This lets you deliver a controlled amount of active ingredient right at the problem spot without needing to mix or spray a large area. Pellets stay where you put them, reducing drift and exposure to non-targets, and they’re quick and easy to handle for targeted work. In contrast, other formulations are designed more for broader or spray applications: granular products are typically spread over larger areas or applied in bands; soluble powders and wettable powders require mixing with water and are used in spray treatments, which is less convenient for pinpoint spots.
