7F MOSQUITO CONTROL 2026 TEST PAPER QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔When evaluating insecticides, samples of control areas are made: - ✔✔To allow
determination of any treatment effect.
✔✔What mosquito species are difficult to evaluate when testing larvicides? -
✔✔Conquillettidia perturbans.
✔✔A comprehensive evaluation of insecticides on non-target organisms is called: -
✔✔An environmental impact study.
✔✔Resistance in mosquito populations to some control materials... - ✔✔Requires
specific testing protocols.
✔✔The efficacy of an adulticide can be calculated and be represented as percent
reduction or percent mortality by using: - ✔✔Abbott's or Mulla's formula.
✔✔The pool sampling method is useful in evaluating: - ✔✔Larvaciding.
✔✔Sampling differs from collecting primarily because: - ✔✔Sampling can give relative
abundance measures.
✔✔Instructions for the use of mosquito control pesticides are found on the: - ✔✔Label.
✔✔To be used legally in MI, all pesticides must be registered by: - ✔✔Both the EPA
and the state of MI.
✔✔Broad-spectrum insecticides: - ✔✔Are toxic to the targeted pest and a wide range of
similar organisms.
✔✔A category III and IV compound would use the signal word: - ✔✔Caution. (Slightly or
non-toxic)
✔✔A category I compound would use the signal word: - ✔✔Danger. (Very toxic)
✔✔A category II compound would use the signal word: - ✔✔Warning. (Moderately toxic)
✔✔Reducing exposure is one way to reduce risk from mosquito control pesticides.
Other ways include: - ✔✔Using products with a short residual time.
✔✔Microbial larvicides such as Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis): -
✔✔Kill mosquitoes by disrupting the gut tissue.
, ✔✔A low-toxicity pesticide that spreads as a thin film over the water's surface is: - ✔✔A
monomolecular film.
✔✔Spinosad is a relatively new larvicide that can be applied: - ✔✔In a wide variety of
larval habitats, including stormwater catch basins.
✔✔Pyrethroids and organophosphates are: - ✔✔Used primarily in adulticiding.
✔✔Which is not listed on the product label? - ✔✔Chemical formulas of all ingredients.
✔✔Prior written notification of individuals who own or reside on property within a
community mosquito control target area can be conveyed by: - ✔✔Written notification
direct to resident.
✔✔The MDA (Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development) maintains
what type of registry that pesticide applicators should be aware of? - ✔✔Certified
organic farm registry.
✔✔A commercial applicator planning to apply larvicides to a catch basin for mosquito
control purposes... - ✔✔Is required to obtain a Certification R97-07/002 from the DNR
(Department of Natural Resources) before making applications to basins.
✔✔The "waters of the state" refers to: - ✔✔All bodies of water in MI.
✔✔A pesticide used to control mosquitoes is intended to control, prevent or reduce the
risk that mosquitoes can cause to the health of: - ✔✔Humans, domestic animals and
wildlife.
✔✔Off-target drift is defined as: - ✔✔The physical movement of pesticides at the time of
application from the site of application to any non targeted site.
✔✔When a liquid pesticide solution is sprayed for mosquito control by ground spraying
equipment or aircraft, pesticide droplet size is determined primarily by: - ✔✔The nozzles
of the application equipment.
✔✔If the pesticide droplets generated from mosquito spraying are too small, what could
happen? - ✔✔The droplets may stay suspended in air can be carried by air currents
beyond the target area.
✔✔Commercial applicators are required to maintain records of all general-use
insecticide applications for a period of: - ✔✔1 year.
