Georgia Pest Licenses Exam
Communication is an important feature of many IPM program because? - ANS -It
provides a record of the ongoing dialog of visits, actions, and interventions.
What is the application rate of a termiticide to a trench with the footer at a depth of 3
feet? - ANS -4 gallon per 10linear feet.
A minimum treatment for control or prevention of all wood destroying fungi contracts
includes: - ANS -Removing sources of moister by fixing leaking pipes.
What is the purpose of the IRAC group number in the upper right hand corner of a
pesticide label? - ANS -It identifies which pesticides can be used in rotation, series, or
mixture to help slow down insecticides resistance.
What is the application rate of a termiticide into a hollow block wall? - ANS -2 gallons per
10 linear feet
Dusts are most effective when applied: - ANS -In a thin layer to cracks and crevices
Many factors affect pesticide drift including: - ANS -Particle size of liquid application, the
smaller the particle the greater the risk of drift.
A spot treatment is: - ANS -A pesticide application to surfaces not larger than 2 sqft.
A routine schedule of maintenance/cleaning/checking and calibration equipment is
important to: - ANS -Ensure application of label directed amounts of pesticides.
Protecting surface water from pesticides involves - ANS -All the above.
What is the major objective of a soil termiticide application? - ANS -To establish a
chemical barrier in the soil between the termites and the wood structure.
What is a crack and crevice pesticide application for household pest control? - ANS -An
application into cracks and crevices where pests hide or enter structures.
The three life-support requirements that pests need to survive include: - ANS -Food,
water, and harborage.
Ants: - ANS -Social insects that display complete metamorphosis
, Bedbugs: - ANS -A blood feeding nocturnal insect that undergo in complete
metamorphosis
Flies: - ANS -Are good a flying when they mature into the adult stage

All anthropoids have: - ANS -Segmented appendages, straited muscles, and a chitinous
exoskeleton
Roaches: - ANS -Have immature stages that feed on the feeces of the adults that live in
the same harborage
Important points to know about wood decay fungi include: - ANS -The wood decay fungi
can be divided into the brown rot and white rot
Microorganisms contribute to pesticide degradation. These organisms include: - ANS
-Bacteria and Fungi
A pesticide is: - ANS -Something that can damage non-target plants and animals
In a large pesticide spill situation, you should first: - ANS -Use absorbent material to
contain the spill
Chemical degradation is a process influenced by: - ANS -Exposure to UV light and
microorganisms like fungi and bacteria
When some pesticide is left over, you may dispose of it: - ANS -Be applying it to site
listed on the label
Pesticide leaching is the most likely to affect Georgia groundwater if the pesticide is
applied: - ANS -To sandy soil over an aquifer that is close to the surface
