Microencapsulated Formulations (ME) manufactured by i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,-
suspending liquid or solid pesticide particles in microcapsules. By
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
altering the membrane of the microcapsules, the residual
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
performance, speed and action and odor can be affected. May i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
clog sprayers and leave visible residue.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Dusts (D) i,-Made by combining and insecticide with a dust
i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
diluent (usually inert) Some products such as Boric Acid Dusts, are
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
almost totally comprised of Boric Acid and may have small
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
amounts of other ingredients added. Drifts are a major issue.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Granules Made by coating or impregnating an inert carrier
i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
with an insecticide. Made of materials, such as, clay, corn cobs,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
pecan shells, saw dust, etc. Formulations are ready to use and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
used mostly for exterior perimeter of buildings for the control of
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
crawling insects. Also is water activated.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Baits Combination of a insecticide with an attractive
i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
carrier/food that the target pest prefers. Pheromone attractants
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
,are added to increase the effects. Comes in forms of gels,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
granules, paste, pellets, powders or liquids. i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Fumigants i,-i,- i,- toxic gases such as methyl bromine that are used
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
to kill pests.
i,- i,-
Vitamin-K i,-i,- i,- The antidote to consuming Anti-coagulants.
i,- i,- i,- i,-
LD-50 the amount of a chemical that kills 50% of the animals
i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
in a test population.
i,- i,- i,-
LC-50 the lethal concentration in air or water required to kill
i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
50% of the population.
i,- i,- i,-
Acute Toxicity adverse effects occur within a short period
i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
after exposure to toxin.
i,- i,- i,-
Chronic Toxicity Repeated exposure over time to sub-lethal
i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
doses of chemicals. i,- i,-
Signal Word i,- i,-i,- i,- Indicates how toxic a product is and how
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
dangerous.
, Danger Category 1 Highly toxic LD-50 (0-50 mg/kg) a taste
i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
to a teaspoon could kill you.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Warning Category 2 moderately toxic LD-50 (50-500 mg/kg)
i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
a teaspoon to a tablespoon could kill you.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Caution Category 3 slightly toxic LD-50 (500-5,000 mg/kg) an
i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
ounce to more than a pint can kill you.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Falsifiable concentrates (EC or E) Formulations made up of
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
the technical material, solvents and emulsifiers. Some agitation is
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
required. Once dry, pesticide residue is barley visible.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Wettable Powder (WP) These formulations are made by
i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
impregnating or coating an appropriate powder with the i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
technical insecticide. Wettable Powders do not dissolve in water
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
and frequent agitation is usually required. Heavy applications
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
may leave visible deposits.
i,- i,- i,-
Soluble Powders (SP) May look like Wettable Powders but
i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
they dissolve and form true solutions when dilute with water. Less
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
visible than Wettable Powders after drying, Frequent agitation is
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
not required.i,-
