Where must termiticides be mixed before application?

Termiticides must be mixed on the job site to ensure that they are prepared in direct proximity to where they will be applied. This practice allows for the immediate use of the mixed solution while minimizing exposure and potential contamination in other locations. Mixing termiticides at the job site also allows pest control professionals to assess the immediate conditions, such as temperature and humidity, which can affect the efficacy of the chemicals being used.

Mixing termiticides in a laboratory, office, or storage facility would pose challenges related to safety, efficacy, and logistics. For example, laboratories may not be equipped for the specific conditions required for applying these chemicals, while mixing in an office could expose non-professionals to hazardous materials. Similarly, a storage facility may not provide the necessary environment for mixing the chemicals correctly and could lead to incorrect application rates or mixtures.
