How are Pellets characterized?

Pellets are characterized by being composed of particles that are uniform in weight and shape. This uniformity allows for consistent distribution and effectiveness when applied. The design of pellets ensures that they can be easily spread over a target area, providing a controlled release of the active ingredients contained within them. This distribution is crucial for achieving optimal results in pest management, as it allows for an even application across the treated surface.

In contrast, while some formulations dissolve quickly for immediate action, that characteristic does not apply specifically to pellets, which are often designed to release their active ingredients over time. The notion that pellets are only used for ground application is limiting, as they can also be applied using various methods, depending on the specific pest management strategy employed. Lastly, although some pellets may contain multiple active ingredients, this is not a defining characteristic of pellets as a whole; they can also contain a single active ingredient. Thus, the defining attribute of pellets lies in their uniformity in weight and shape, which supports effective application and performance.
