The correct answer is: A pesticide applied as a fine spray or mist to a confined area

A space spray, in the context of pesticides, refers to the application of a pesticide as a fine spray or mist to a confined area. This method is commonly used indoors to control flying insects like mosquitoes and flies. By creating a mist or fine spray, the pesticide can effectively reach and target the pests present in the treated area. Options A, B, and D are incorrect: A. A pesticide applied underground is not referred to as a space spray. This method is more commonly known as soil injection or soil drenching. B. A pesticide applied in forest areas is not specifically referred to as a space spray. Forest areas generally involve different application methods such as aerial spraying or ground applications based on the target pest. D.
