Affects all stages that undergo complete metamorphosis
Understand the general routes by which pesticides can enter a person's body. -
ANSWER✅✅ Ingestion, absorption, inhalation
differences in baiting techniques for rats and mice - ANSWER✅✅ o Mice: Place bait
between harborage and food source, favorable feeding locations, corners, warm
areas, 3d layout, keep fresh.
o Rats: Eliminate food sources, space 15-50, between harborage and food sources,
loose pellets in burrows, don't move once used, place sufficient bait, fresh baits with
zinc phosphide placed in evening so fresh at night.
What are some advantages and disadvantages of using dusts for insect pest
management? - ANSWER✅✅ o Advantages
♣ Great residual, no mixing.
o Disadvantages
♣ Visual residues, takes experience to use correctly, difficult to control dispersal to
non-target areas.
Be able to describe why crack and crevice applications are preferred for German
cockroach management. - ANSWER✅✅ o Those are preferred areas for harborage
and breeding/egg development
What are the different castes of termites found within a termite colony? -
ANSWER✅✅ o Workers
o Soldiers
o Supplementary reproductive
Primary reproductive (swarmers
What are the three species of commensal rodents of importance to pest
management professionals? - ANSWER✅✅ house mouse, norway (brown) rat, Roof
(black) rat
List the ways termites communicate - ANSWER✅✅ Pheromone, sound (banging by
workers and soldiers), trophallaxis (feeding each other)
What is a manifest and why should you carry one in your vehicle - ANSWER✅✅
Lists the types and amounts of pesticides or other hazmat carried in vehicle. Must be
carried during transport
active ingredient - ANSWER✅✅ chemical product responsible for pesticidal effect
formulation - ANSWER✅✅ the way active and inert ingredients are put together
, Hazard - ANSWER✅✅ the degree of danger involved in exposure to pesticide
LD50 - ANSWER✅✅ the amount of a chemical that kills 50% of the animals in a test
population. Higher number=lower toxicity
toxicity - ANSWER✅✅ the innate capacity of a chemical to be poisonous at some
level
signal word - ANSWER✅✅ ♣ Alerts users to the relative level of toxicity and
precautionary statements next to it
active ingredient - ANSWER✅✅ The portion of the pesticide formulation that is
effective against the targeted pest.
innert ingredient - ANSWER✅✅ portion that does not have any pesticidal effect
CHEMTREC - ANSWER✅✅ Chemical Transportation Emergency Response Center
where you call regarding spills or accidents with the product
Synergist - ANSWER✅✅ alone has low toxicity, but combines with products to
accelerate them. often by inhibiting enzymes that resist pyrethins
liquid formulations - ANSWER✅✅ Emulsifiable concentrations(EC/E) Talstar
Suspension concentrations(SC) Suspend
Flowable Microencapsulations(CS/FM/ME) Cy-ki
Read-to-use(RTU) Whitemyer aerosol
Fumigants methyl bromide
dry formulations - ANSWER✅✅
How do toxicity and hazard relate to the safe use of pesticides - ANSWER✅✅
hazard is a function of toxicity and exposure. hazard=toxicity*exposure
non-chemical measures that can be used in sensitive accounts such as food handling
establishments (i.e., food plants) - ANSWER✅✅ Manipulated environment
Temperature
Sanitation
Insect Light traps
Pheromone traps
- ANSWER✅✅ Chemicals used by insects and vertebrates to communicate
