What should never be used to unclog nozzle tips?

Broom straw
Piece of wire
Toothpick
Toothbrush

The correct answer is: Piece of wire

The use of a piece of wire to unclog nozzle tips is not advisable because it can damage the nozzle or alter the spray pattern. Nozzle tips are precision instruments that are designed to create a specific spray pattern. Using something rigid, like wire, can scratch or create burrs on the nozzle opening, leading to an uneven application of pesticides or other chemicals. This may result in ineffective pest control measures or even damage to the target plants and surfaces. In contrast, alternatives like broom straw, toothpicks, or toothbrushes can be more suitable as they may provide a gentler means of removing clogs without risking damage to the nozzle's precision. Understanding the potential consequences of using improper tools highlights the importance of appropriate maintenance procedures for pest control equipment.
