For vector control applications: Venom Professional 100SC can be applied by a variety of application techniques, such as power sprayers, hand-held pump sprayers or backpack sprayers, which are operated to produce large droplets to minimise spray drift. However, the product must not be applied by ULV or fogging equipment, which produce small droplets that may result in off-target drift.
