Tracking powders are generally regarded as?

Tracking powders are used in pest management to reveal how pests move through an area by applying a safe, non-toxic powder along suspected routes. Pests pick up the powder and transfer it to other locations, making it possible to see entry points, harborage, and travel paths. The main goal is detection and understanding of pest activity so you can target control measures, not to kill pests or to rely on hazardous substances. In food environments, using non-toxic powders protects food safety while providing useful movement data, which is why this option fits best.
