COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Guaranteed Pass First Attempt!! Current Update!!
1. Falsifiable concentrates (EC or E) - Correct Answer: Formulations made
up of the technical material, solvents and emulsifiers. Some agitation is
required. Once dry, pesticide residue is barley visible.
2. Wettable Powder (WP) - Correct Answer: These formulations are made
by impregnating or coating an appropriate powder with the technical
insecticide. Wettable Powders do not dissolve in water and frequent
agitation is usually required. Heavy applications may leave visible deposits.
3. Soluble Powders (SP) - Correct Answer: May look like Wettable Powders
but they dissolve and form true solutions when dilute with water. Less
visible than Wettable Powders after drying, Frequent agitation is not
required.
4. Suspension Concentrates (SC) - Correct Answer: Products made with
small particles suspended in oil solvents or water. Easy mix, require little or
no agitation and remain stable for a long time. Have a greatly reduced
inhalation hazard because they come in a liquid form.
,5. Flowable Liquids - Correct Answer: Contains concentrated water
dispersible powders in a liquid form. These powders may stay suspended
for a long time. Flowable liquids are easy to handle and have excellent
dilution properties.
6. Microencapsulated Formulations (ME) - Correct Answer: manufactured
by suspending liquid or solid pesticide particles in microcapsules. By altering
the membrane of the microcapsules, the residual performance, speed and
action and odor can be affected. May clog sprayers and leave visible
residue.
7. Dusts (D) - Correct Answer: Made by combining and insecticide with a
dust diluent (usually inert) Some products such as Boric Acid Dusts, are
almost totally comprised of Boric Acid and may have small amounts of
other ingredients added. Drifts are a major issue.
8. Granules - Correct Answer: Made by coating or impregnating an inert
carrier with an insecticide. Made of materials, such as, clay, corn cobs,
pecan shells, saw dust, etc. Formulations are ready to use and used mostly
for exterior perimeter of buildings for the control of crawling insects. Also is
water activated.
9. Baits - Correct Answer: Combination of a insecticide with an attractive
carrier/food that the target pest prefers. Pheromone attractants are added
to increase the effects. Comes in forms of gels, granules, paste, pellets,
powders or liquids.
,10.Fumigants - Correct Answer: toxic gases such as methyl bromine that
are used to kill pests.
11.Vitamin-K - Correct Answer: The antidote to consuming Anti-coagulants.
12.LD-50 - Correct Answer: the amount of a chemical that kills 50% of the
animals in a test population.
13.LC-50 - Correct Answer: the lethal concentration in air or water required
to kill 50% of the population.
14.Acute Toxicity - Correct Answer: adverse effects occur within a short
period after exposure to toxin.
15.Chronic Toxicity - Correct Answer: Repeated exposure over time to sub-
lethal doses of chemicals.
16.Signal Word - Correct Answer: Indicates how toxic a product is and how
dangerous.
17.Danger - Correct Answer: Category 1 Highly toxic LD-50 (0-50 mg/kg) a
taste to a teaspoon could kill you.
18.Warning - Correct Answer: Category 2 moderately toxic LD-50 (50-500
mg/kg) a teaspoon to a tablespoon could kill you.
, 19.Caution - Correct Answer: Category 3 slightly toxic LD-50 (500-5,000
mg/kg) an ounce to more than a pint can kill you.
20.Type of pesticide - Correct Answer: General terms what type of pests
are to be controlled and also type of formulation.
21.Net Contents - Correct Answer: Found on the front of the label along
the bottom edge
Indicates the quantity of formulation in the package
Expressed in weight, volume, or count.
22.(EPA) Registration and Establishment Numbers - Correct Answer:
Indicates the pesticide has been registered. Number will tell you which
location and facility the product was made at.
23.EPA - Correct Answer: Environmental Protection Agency.
24.Precautionary Statement - Correct Answer: Protection precautions of
applicators and other people or animals who may be exposed to the
product. Will see heading (Hazards to humans and domestic animals)
25.Statement of Practical Treatment - Correct Answer: lists first aid
treatments recommended in case of poisoning or accidental exposure.
