What is the technique called when fumigant treatment targets only specific areas with pests?

Spot fumigation refers to a method in which the treatment is concentrated on specific areas identified as having pest activity, rather than applying the fumigant to an entire site or location. This technique is particularly useful for managing pest infestations efficiently by ensuring that the chemical is applied only where it is needed, thus minimizing chemical use and potential exposure to non-target areas. Spot fumigation allows for targeted pest control, which can lead to more effective results while preserving the surrounding environment.

While localized and targeted fumigation may seem similar, spot fumigation specifically refers to the precise placement of fumigant for immediate pest problems in distinct locations. Full site fumigation involves treating the entire area without distinction, which is not aligned with the practice of targeting specific infested areas.
