Which type of applicator is commonly used for small area coverage that is inaccessible to larger units?

The crank-operated, spinning disk type applicator is particularly well-suited for small areas that may be difficult for larger units to access. This type of applicator efficiently distributes pesticide in a controlled manner, allowing for targeting specific spots without the need for cumbersome machinery. The spinning disk mechanism enables a fine, even spray pattern over a limited area, making it ideal for properties such as gardens, yards, or around structures where maneuverability is a concern.

In contrast, other applicators such as hopper types or pressure-fed sprayers may be designed for broader coverage and require more space to operate effectively. While hand pump sprayers can also be used for small areas, they may not provide the same level of precision and efficiency in application as the crank-operated, spinning disk type. Thus, the choice of applicator falls to the capability of providing an effective solution in tight or confined spaces, which is where the spinning disk shines.
