Which type of pesticide duster would be used for applying large amounts of dust in an attic space?

• A. A Standard Hand Duster
• B. A Backpack Blower
• C. A Rotary Duster
• D. A Liquid Sprayer

Answer: (C)

When you need to apply a large amount of dry dust in an attic space, you want a duster that can rapidly deliver substantial quantities of powder into hard-to-reach areas. A rotary duster is designed for this purpose: it uses a rotating mechanism to propel dust out of the chamber as you work, producing a broad, even distribution throughout the attic’s nooks, behind joists, and around insulation. This lets you cover a large area quickly and efficiently. A standard hand duster is more suited to smaller, precise spots; a backpack blower disperses material with a strong air blast that can waste product and create drift in a confined attic; a liquid sprayer applies moisture instead of dry powder, so it wouldn’t deliver the desired dust coverage.
