In this work we consider equations of the form $$\partial_t u+P(\partial_x) u+G(u,\partial_xu,\dots,\partial_x^l u)=0,$$ where $P$ is any polynomial without constant term, and $G$ is any polynomial without constant or linear terms. We prove that if $u$ is a sufficiently smooth solution of the equation, such that $\supp u(0),\supp u(T)\subset (-\infty,B]$ for some $B>0$, then there exists $R_0>0$ such that $\supp u(t)\subset (-\infty,R_0]$ for every $t\in[0,T]$. Then, as an example of the application of this result, we employ it to show unique continuation properties for some nonlinear dispersive models$$
