What is a key advantage of ULV generators compared to thermal generators?

A key advantage of ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) generators compared to thermal generators is that they result in fewer pollution problems. ULV technology is designed to deliver very small droplets of insecticide, which allows for more efficient application of chemical controls. This precision in droplet size reduces the amount of pesticide that enters the air and can lead to off-target drift, consequently minimizing environmental contamination and exposure to non-target organisms.

In contrast, thermal generators tend to produce larger droplets and can create a greater volume of emissions, thus increasing the likelihood of air pollution and potential harm to beneficial insects and surrounding ecosystems. Therefore, the difference in droplet size and application method contributes significantly to environmental safety, making the ULV approach preferable from a pollution standpoint.
