Georgia Registration Exam 2020
*What is the treatment for wood decaying fungi? - ANS - Ventilation of under floor
space between bottom of floor joists and the Earth to meet requirements of
International Residential Building Code
\4 categories of Stored Product Pests - ANS - 1. Internal Feeders (larvae develop
on inside of grain)
2. External Feeders (larvae develop on outside of grain)
3. Scavengers (feed only on processed products or products previously damaged
by other two groups)
4. Secondary Pests (feed on moldy food products)
\Abiotic (Pesticide Breakdown) - ANS - Chemical processes that do not involve
living organisms.
\Absorption - ANS - Certain pesticides are taken from soil by plant roots and
placed within the tissues of the plant
\Acaricide - ANS - Controls mites, ticks and spiders
\Acute Toxicity - ANS - adverse effects occur within a short period after exposure
to toxin
\Adsorption - ANS - The process of binding or sticking to a surface.
\Aerosols (A) - ANS - tiny solid particles or liquid droplets that remain suspended
in the atmosphere for a long time
1. Advantages: Portable and easily stored
2. Disadvantages: Risk of inhalation, hazardous if punctured, difficult direct
application
\All vehicles must carry enough absorbent material to control what size spill? -
ANS - the largest spill that can occur from that vehicle.
\American Cockroach - ANS - 1. Adults are 1 1/2 inches long, dark to light reddish
brown with two light sports on the are behind the head.
2. Long life cycle, egg to adult in 4-15 months,adults live 1-1.5 years
3. Prefer moist dark areas like sewers or storm drains
4. Have wings and can glide
\Antimicrobials - ANS - kill microorganisms
\Application rate for termiticide - ANS - Apply four (4) gallons per ten (10) linear
feet per depth from the soil surface to the top of footing or a minimum of four
feet.
\Are flies good fliers in adulthood? - ANS - yes
\Avicide - ANS - Controls birds
, \Baits (B) - ANS - Designed to be eaten or swallowed, ready-to-use can be a dust,
granular, pellet, semi-liquid gel or liquid gel.
1. Advantages: Targeted placement, ready to use, easy to apply
2. Disadvantages: Compete with other foods, humans and pets might eat it,
repeat applications may cause build up
\Bedbugs - ANS - - Blood feeding and nocturnal
-Adults are oval and about 3/16 to 1/4 inch long
-After feeding the reddish brown body is often more red and swollen
-Infestations may produce a foul odor
\biochemical pesticides - ANS - naturally occurring substances that control pests
by nontoxic mechanisms
\Biological characteristics of Arthropods - ANS - -Central nervous system
-Striated skeletal muscles
-Bilateral symmetry
-Segmented body and appendages
-Chitinous Exoskeleton
-Open circulatory system
\Biopesticides - ANS - chemicals-primarily insecticides- that are derived naturally
in order to reduce crop damage
\Biotic (Pesticide Breakdown) - ANS - Microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria
can help breakdown a pesticide.
\Biting Fly - ANS - - Some have maggots that feel on dung or rotten vegetative
matter
- Others are filter feeders that live in water (wrigglers)
-Examples: Mosquito, Deer Fly, Stable Fly and Biting Midges
\Brown rot fungi - ANS - degrade cellulose and leave difficult to degrade lignin
behind
\Brownbanded cockroach - ANS - 1. Adults are 1/2 inches long and are light
brown color with two lighter bands across base of the wings and top of the
abdomen.
2. Prefer dryer conditions and are not common in GA
3. Have short life cycle, egg to adult in 3-4 months and live about a year.
4. Adults have wings but the males have longer wings
\Carpenter Ants - ANS - Do not eat the wood they just chew it out wet/ rotten
wood to make a nest area. Largest ants in GA. Leave small piles of wood
shavings.
\Cat flea characteristics - ANS - *Will feed on cats,dogs, opossums, raccoons,
foxes and humans. Most flea infestations are cat fleas.*
1. Adults are 1/8 to 1/6 inches long, dark brown, flattened side to side, and
wingless

space between bottom of floor joists and the Earth to meet requirements of
International Residential Building Code
