Outdoor Applications

Drift is the movement of pesticides away from the target area or plants. You should always follow all label directions for both the pesticide and application equipment to prevent drift. Also: Never apply pesticides outdoors on a windy day (sustained winds higher than8 mph) or when winds are gusty or variable in direction. Use coarse droplet nozzles on your sprayer to reduce misting. Larger droplets help prevent drift. Spray as close to the target as possible, you want to get good coverage, while still preventing drift. Do not apply pesticides on very hot days, with temperatures above 90
