CA BRANCH 2 FIELD EVALUATION EXAM 2026
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SCORED A+
✔✔non-repelletens theses non-products are undetectable to insects and are slow
acting. because social insects feed and groom one another, these products are easily
spread throughout the colony and can result in complete colony elimination. they have
good residual properties - ✔✔1. fipronil- disrupts the normal function or nervous system.
"termidor'' is a product which contains fipronil
2. chlorfenapyr- acts as an energy disrupter. ''phantom'' is a common product with this
ingredient
3. imidacloprid- acts on the insect's nervous systems. found in ''premise'' and temprid''.
4. chlorontraniprole- prarlyzes the mouths of termites. when used as directed. this
product does not presents a hazard to humans or domestic animals. found in '' altriset''
termiticide
✔✔anit-coagulants these are commonly used as rodent baits and cause internal
bleeding . the antidote for these products is vitamin k. some products in this category
are - ✔✔1. warfarin
2. bromadiolone
3. brodifacoum
4. diphacinone
✔✔insect growth regulators block the normal development and molting of immature
insects, have long residual control and are usually low in toxicity . here are a couple of
sample products we currently use - ✔✔1. hydropene (gentrol-works especially well on
roaches. also use on drain and fruit flies,bed bugs and stored product pests)
2. methprene ( precor igr or precor 2000-works very well for flea control)
✔✔synergists are chemical additives to make products more effective. widely used with
pyrethrums and pyrethroids - ✔✔1. pipernouyk butoxide (pbo)
2. mgk 264
✔✔when applying insecticide granules , it is important that you do which of the following
- ✔✔keep all granules off of patios,walkways and driveways
always follow the labels's instructions
keep granules away from fish ponds,pools and spas
✔✔most diaphragm pumps are - ✔✔electric
✔✔a getz duster holds approximately how much dust - ✔✔4 ounces
✔✔a hoses used in pest control are 3/8 and - ✔✔should not exceed 100 feet in length
, ✔✔agitators are used in spray tanks to keep pesticides from separating and come in
which styles - ✔✔hydraulic action
by-pass agitation
mechanical agitation
✔✔a ''j'' gun is most commonly used with - ✔✔a power sprayer for landscape treatment
✔✔arthropods - ✔✔include insects, arachnids, centipedes, millipedes, crustaceans
have an exoskeleton
have jointed legs
have segmented body
most breathe through spiracles
✔✔insects - ✔✔adults have three pair of legs; many larvae have no legs
have one pair of antenna
most adults have two compound eyes. insects also have simple eyes. located on upper
part of the head between the compound eyes.
some are winged
a lot of winged species have two pairs of wings
flies and mosquitoes only have one pair of wings
bed bugs, silverfish and lice are examples of insects that have no wings
✔✔arachnids ( mites,scorpions,spiders, ticks) - ✔✔spiders have two body parts - the
cephalothrorax ( head and thorax fused together) and abdomen
mites have two body parts - the gnathosoma and the idiosoma. the gnathosoma
includes only the mouthpart. the gnathosoma is the remainder of the body and parallels
the head, thorax and abdomen of insects
have four pairs of legs.immature ticks and mite habe only three pairs of legs
have only simple eyes'have no wings and antenna
✔✔centipedes and millipedes - ✔✔have a worm-like body
do not have wings
centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment
millipededs have two pair of legs per body segment
✔✔crustaceans ( pillbugs and sowbugs) - ✔✔have small head and abdomen with a
large thorax that has seven individual overlapping plates
have seven pairs of legs ( the large pair appear after the first molt)
breathe through gills
have one pair of antennae
pillbugs will roll up into balls
sow bugs cant roll up into a tight ball
✔✔mouthparts - ✔✔chewing type
rasping-sucing
