7F MOSQUITO CONTROL UPDATED TESTED QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔All mosquito control equipment can be divided into these two general categories: -
✔✔ULV and thermal.
✔✔A type of adulticiding that leaves a residual to create a barrier is typically applied
using: - ✔✔Aerial methods.
✔✔ULV: - ✔✔Ultra low volume.
✔✔Compression sprayers are typically used for: - ✔✔Larvaciding.
✔✔The adulticiding unit that produces a superheated cloud of pesticide is known as: -
✔✔Thermal fogger.
✔✔Emulsifiable concentrate formulations are used: - ✔✔When short term residual is
desired.
✔✔In most cases, the most efficient control of mosquito population is: - ✔✔Larvaciding.
✔✔Aircraft larvaciding is used for: - ✔✔Possible with both rotary and fixed-wing
versions.
✔✔Application of adulticides with ULV methods should be done when: -
✔✔Temperature is above 55* F and wind speed is below 10 mph.
✔✔A hand-held broadcast spreader is: - ✔✔Used for application of larvicide in hard-to-
access areas.
✔✔Insecticide evaluations in a mosquito control operation are important for: -
✔✔Testing the effectiveness of new application techniques.
✔✔Evaluation of a new insecticide formulation for adulticiding would likely include: -
✔✔Sentinel caged mosquitoes.
✔✔What larvicide can NOT be evaluated by taking pre and post treatment dipper
samples in the field? - ✔✔Methroprene (growth regulator).
✔✔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.
