When injecting into vertically drilled holes, what pressure should be used?

When injecting into vertically drilled holes, using low pressure is essential for effective treatment without causing damage to the surrounding material. This approach allows the liquid pesticide to be distributed evenly within the drilled area, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration where wood-destroying pests may be present.

Low pressure minimizes the risk of creating excessive turbulence or backpressure, which can lead to incomplete penetration or even cause the substance to escape back out of the hole rather than being absorbed by the targeted wood. Furthermore, applying pesticide at low pressure helps safeguard the integrity of the structure being treated, preventing potential harm to non-target organisms and reducing environmental contamination.

Overall, maintaining low pressure during the injection process is a crucial practice in pest management that promotes efficacy while ensuring safety and effectiveness in controlling wood-destroying pests.
