Dyna-Fog machines bring the advantages of small droplet technology to the
farmer enabling optimum results to be achieved from a number of formulations.
ANIMALS BUILDINGS
Control of flying insects around farms
within animal buildings can be achieved with dense cloud of small droplets from
a Dyna-Fog� NEUTRALIZER or
Dyna-Fog� GOLDEN Eagle. Where a
residual deposit as well as immediate control is also required the Dyna-Fog� Hurricane, Dyna-Fog� MISTER III, Mini-Pro 8HP or Dyna-Fog� Typhoon I will give slightly
larger droplets that will not only give a thorough kill of flying insects, but
will also be produced in sufficient numbers to leave a residual deposit on walls
and other surfaces. The quiet Dyna-Fog� NEUTRALIZER can be used with
inert special effects fluid to test airflows in closed animal confinements. The
Dyna-Fog� GOLDEN Eagle AND BLACKHawk have been shown to be on
ideal way of applying ReJeX-iT� and other bird repellents to animal
feedlots.
GRAIN STORES
To disinfect empty grain stores and silos
prior to storing newly harvested grain, it is essential to thoroughly clean all
surfaces prior to treatment to ensure that insects are not protected from the
spray by layers of dust. A thermal fog will thoroughly penetrate all parts of
the structure, but where there are relatively deep crevices (in brick or wood)
the use of a formulation which also has a residual effect should be applied with
a ULV machine such as the Dyna-Fog� Hurricane, Dyna-Fog� Tornado, Dyna-Fog� TWISTER XL3™, or Dyna-Fog� MISTER III to give a higher level of
control.
DISINFECTING POULTRY AND ANIMAL HOUSES
A suitable
disinfectant should be applied to the building before introducing a new flock of
poultry or young animals to prevent the build up of disease. Best results will
be achieved when the building is thoroughly cleaned and washed down to remove
dirt and debris prior to treatment. Most disinfectants are effective when
applied with droplets of 50-80 microns in size so that they not only leave a
residual deposit, but also to ensure that there is some moisture present long
enough to ensure activity against the bacteria. Thermal ULV machines are ideally
suited for this use, and the Dyna-Fog� MISTER III or Dyna-Fog� MISTER Max can be used from the doorway
of the building. Alternatively a Dyna-Fog� Typhoon I (fitted with a
Diaphragm Pump for high output) or Dyna-Jet� L30 can be driven through the
house on a cart or truck, and for small buildings such as hatcheries the
Dyna-Fog� Tornado is an ideal size
machine. The Dyna-Fog� NIGHTSTAR� is a
novel concept in application in that the machine can treat an entire house from
one position without an operator being present. A choice of droplet sizes for
particular applications can be made and houses up to 60000 sq. ft. (6000 m�) may
be treated. Where regular treatments are made a Dyna-Fog� NIGHTSTAR� S can be permanently installed
from a ceiling.
INOCULATION OF POULTRY WITH VACCINES AND SOME ANTIBIOTICS
Many vaccines and antibiotics need to be applied to various types
of birds at very specific droplet sizes. Suitable applicators need to be able to
deliver droplets of a pre-selected size with few or none of the droplets outside
of the specified range. The Dyna-Fog�
Hurricane, Dyna-Fog� Cyclone, and
Dyna-Fog� TWISTER XL3™ are
ideal for this use and as a convenient and simple method of application on birds
such as Broilers, Breeders or Turkeys loose on the floor and can also be used
for small numbers of caged birds.
TROPICAL CROPS
Dyna-Fog� thermal foggers can be
successfully used in a number of tree crops where the leaves form a "closed"
canopy and the advantage of a thermal fog in that it will carry the chemical up
to this canopy, which is often at a considerably height and surfaces. The canopy
will then retain the fog until it has settled onto the leaf. Two crops commonly
treated are rubber and oil palm, but cocoa and coconuts can also be suitable
crops for such treatment. Thermal fogging is used for applying insecticides, but
more commonly for applying fungicides. In rubber the two principal diseases are
odium and phytophasu. Any chemical can be applied in this manner, but to ensure
that the chemical is carried up to the canopy it must be formulated in a
suitable oil, and treatment is best carried out early in the morning when the
thermal up currents are at their strongest and the prevailing winds are at their
weakest. Hand held models such as the Dyna-Fog� GOLDEN Eagle and Superhawk can be used when the terrain
is unsuitable for vehicular travel, but when the terrain permits the Dyna-Fog� 1200 is the model
of choice.
