MICHIGAN MOSQUITO CONTROL 7F 2026 STUDY GUIDE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Off-target drift is defined as: a. The physical movement of pesticides at the time of
application from the site of application to any nontarget site b. The unintentional
poisoning of non-target organisms c. The unavoidable application of pesticides to a
large circular zone outside the intended target site - ✔✔a. The physical movement of
pesticides at the time of application from the site of application to any nontarget site
✔✔When a liquid pesticide solution is sprayed for mosquito control by ground spraying
equipment or aircraft, pesticide droplet size is determined primarily by: a. Screens inside
the liquid reservoir b. The nozzles of the application equipment c. Prevailing
temperature and humidity - ✔✔b. The nozzles of the application equipment
✔✔If pesticide droplets generated from mosquito spraying are too small, what could
happen? a. The droplets may stay suspended in air and be carried by air currents
beyond the target area. b. The droplets won't have any effect on the mosquito
population targeted. c. The spray path will not be strong enough to reach mosquitoes
that might be in a tree canopy. - ✔✔a. The droplets may stay suspended in air and be
carried by air currents beyond the target area.

insecticide applications for a period of: a. 3 years b. 1 year c. 0 years (no records are
required for general-use pesticides) - ✔✔b. 1 year
✔✔A mixing and loading facility for non-aerial commercial applicators is: a. A site where
pesticides are produced b. A site where pesticides are transferred from containers into
application equipment c. A site where pesticides are stored for more than 10 days but
loaded onto pallets - ✔✔b. A site where pesticides are transferred from containers into
application equipment
✔✔ A female mosquito takes a blood meal to:
a. Feel full
b. Produce eggs
c. Obtain viruses necessary for her survival - ✔✔b. Produce eggs
✔✔The three main body parts of an adult mosquito are:
a. Head, abdomen and legs
b. Proboscis, head and thorax
c. Head, abdomen and thorax - ✔✔c. Head, abdomen and thorax
✔✔Mosquito larvae are typically found in:
