What is the meaning of the abbreviation 'RTU'?

Ready to Use
Real Time Use
Reversible Treatment Unit
Reusable Technology Unit

The correct answer is: Ready to Use

The abbreviation 'RTU' stands for "Ready to Use." This term is commonly used in the context of consumer products, including pesticides, to indicate that the product is pre-mixed or pre-formulated and is ready for application without the need for further dilution or preparation. This convenience allows users to save time and ensures that they are applying the product at the recommended concentration, which is vital for effective pest control and adherence to safety standards. The simplicity of "Ready to Use" products often appeals to both professional applicators and homeowners who may not have the expertise or equipment to mix their own solutions. Other options such as "Real Time Use," "Reversible Treatment Unit," and "Reusable Technology Unit" do not reflect the typical meaning attributed to RTU in pesticide applications or general consumer products.
