GA Pest Exam
2 classifications of pesticides - ANS - general use or restricted use
\2 common ways to dispose of extra pesticide formulation - ANS - apply around
the exterior of the last account of the day to use up the pesticide; add the left
over pesticide to a storage or disposal container/tank
\2 components of all pesticide formulations - ANS - biologically or chemically
active portion called the active ingredient (AI); a not-active portion called the inert
ingredient
\3 things a pest needs to survive - ANS - food, water, harborage (place to hide)
\acute toxicity - single exposure or multiple exposures over short time (less than
? hours) that result in health effects within ? hours of exposure - ANS - less than
24 hours; 14 hours
\anticoagulant - ANS - prevents blood clotting
\anticoagulant - first generation - ANS - generally require bait consumption over
several feedings (days) in order to get lethal dose
\anticoagulant - second generation - ANS - lethal after single ingestion
\Arthropods - ANS - A group of organisms that have jointed appendages, an
exoskeleton, bilateral symmetry, and reproduce sexually; insects, arachnids,
millipedes and cenitpedes, and crustaceans
\back-flow preventers - ANS - prevent water and pesticides from being drawn
back into the water supply system when filling tanks with a hose if there is a
sudden drop in water pressure
\Carries the same enforcement weight as the actual label provided on the
pesticide container - ANS - labeling
\check hoses how often - ANS - daily
\chemical pesticides modes of action - ANS - nervous system, muscles,
reproduction, growth or energy production
\chitin synthesis inhibitors - ANS - prevent growth of a chitinous exoskeleton
\clean tank how often - ANS - at least once a week
\complete metamorphosis - ANS - egg, larva, pupa, adult (ex: ants, bees,
butterflies, flies, wasps, beetles, fleas)
\CSI (chitin synthesis inhibitors) - ANS - interferes with an insect's ability to
produce a protein called chitin
\disruption of insect guts - ANS - destroy the midgut of an insect
\energy metabolism - ANS - affect energy production
\EPA - ANS - Environmental Protection Agency
