Applications & Use Cases
The Exodus ULV is suitable for treating flying and crawling insects in domestic, commercial and industrial environments, including:
- Food storage & manufacturing facilities
- Warehouses & logistics centres
- Healthcare settings & public spaces
- Hospitality & catering establishments
- Aircraft & transport disinfection
An Exodus can be used in almost every situation where insect control (namely those specified on the label) is required, although it may need to be used as part of a control programme.
ULV insecticides are typically effective against flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, moths, ants, and stored product pests. The unit is compatible with AquaPy Micro, Vazor ULV 500, and Killgerm ULV 1500, offering flexibility across different pest control scenarios. PX ULV Disinfectant and PX ULV Odourcide are also available.
Comparison: ULV Fogging vs. Thermal Fogging
Feature | ULV Fogging (Cold Fogging) | Thermal Fogging |
---|---|---|
Droplet Size | 15-20 micron droplet range (the best composite range for penetration, coverage and impingement). | Variable and can be adjusted with some models. Typically smaller droplet sizes than ULV. |
Application Method | Uses an electric motor to create a cold fog | Uses heat to vaporise solution |
Best For | Indoor & enclosed spaces, pest control, disinfection | Outdoor fogging, mosquito control, |
Residual Effect | Typically non-residual | Non-residual |
Safety & Usage | minimal heat, reduces chemical waste | Requires more operator protection (PPE), produces visible fog |
Efficiency | More precise application, lower chemical usage | Covers larger outdoor areas effectively |
Common Questions About ULV Fogging
What are the disadvantages of a ULV sprayer?
- Limited residual effect although this can be an advantage in sensitive situations.
- Requires PPE to ensure operator safety, unless the unit is programmable and can function as a remote application – this is an advantage.
What is ULV fogging used for?
ULV fogging is primarily used for insect control, disinfection, and odour neutralisation in large enclosed spaces such as warehouses, food processing plants, and transport vehicles.
Also suitable for smaller indoor domestic environments.
What is the difference between ULV and thermal fogging?
- ULV fogging produces fine mist droplets using a motor-driven nozzle, ensuring better indoor coverage.
- Thermal fogging vaporises the liquid using heat, creating visible fog, which is better for outdoor applications.
Can risks associated with ULV fogging be managed effectively?
Yes, when used correctly in accordance with product labels. Operators must wear appropriate PPE (sufficient gloves, respirator, goggles) according to product labels, material safety data sheets and the outcome of a COSSH assessment, and treated areas should remain vacant during application. Note that ULV machines with timers can reduce the need for PPE.
Does ULV fogging have a residual effect?
Typical ULV treatments are non-residual.
What is better, a fogger or coarse sprayer?
Factor | ULV Fogger | Coarse Sprayer |
---|---|---|
Droplet Size | Optimum droplet size for penetrating cracks and crevices and impinging (contacting) target insects | Larger droplets |
Coverage | Covers large areas evenly | More targeted spraying |
Best Used For | Flying insect pests, disinfection | Direct application on surfaces |
Chemical Usage | Less waste, efficient dispersal | More chemical consumption |
For flies and mosquitoes, ULV fogging is more effective, as it keeps insecticides airborne for an appropriate period of time, increasing contact with pests.
