5.0 Aquatic and Mosquito Course
Acaracides - ANS-products designed specifically for use as acaricides. These are important
products in pest management because the selective acaricides often are not harmful to the
beneficial insects important in biological control.
Active Ingredient - ANS-component of a product that has pesticide activity.
Adsorptionof a pesticide & how this can affect movement of a pesticide from a target site. -
ANS-degree of attachment or adsorption to soil particles.
Those that are strongly adsorbed are less likely to be carried from the treated area by water
runoff
Allowed Deviations from Label Directions - ANS-Unless the label prohibits you from doing so,
you may deviate from label directions by:
Applying a pesticide at a lower rate, concentration, or frequency than that specified on the label,
Applying a pesticide against any target pest not specified on the label if the application is to the
site specified on the label
Using any method of application not prohibited by the label
Mixing two or more pesticides, or mixing a pesticide with a fertilizer when such mixture is not
mentioned by the label
Backpack Sprayers - ANS-designed for treating small areas, cost effective and easy to use.
Botanicals - ANS-as plant-derived pesticides are more frequently called, are generally
nonpersistent, but despite their natural origin can be quite toxic to humans. not as frequently
used
Carriers/ adjuvants and drift - ANS-thickening agents added to either the formulation or spray
tank can reduce drift by 50% to 80% by minimizing the formation of small droplets
caution signal word - ANS-mild injury concern, med. - large dose could cuase severe damage
Chemical Names - ANS-Each active ingredient is given a chemical name that complies with
accepted guidelines established by chemists
,Common Names - ANS-Common names normally appear on the label on the same line with
and just before the chemical name
Common Ways You May be Exposed to Pesticides via Dermal Exposure - ANS-Not wearing
gloves, Not washing hands after washing product containers, or application equipment or before
using toilet, Splashing or spilling pesticide on skin, Being exposed to spray or dust drift,
Applying pesticides in windy weather, or by Touching treated surfaces
Common Ways You May be Exposed to Pesticides via Eye Exposure - ANS-Rubbing eyes with
contaminated gloves or hands.
Splashing pesticide in eyes.
Handling dry formulations without eye protection.
Applying pesticides in drafty buildings.
Common Ways You May be Exposed to Pesticides via inhalation exposure - ANS-Handling
pesticides in confined or poorly ventilated areas.
Handling dusts or powders.
Using an inadequate or poorly fitting respirator.
Being exposed to spray or dust drift.
Common Ways You May be Exposed to Pesticides via oral exposure - ANS-Not washing hands
before eating,
Drinking from unlabeled containers containing pesticide.
Splashing pesticide in mouth.
Compare and contrast solid vs. hazardous waste. - ANS-solid waste is anything that is not
considered a hazardous waste.
If the pesticide you are trying to dispose of is a hazardous material then it is a hazardous waste
and, has specific rules associated with its disposal that you must follow.
Compare the cause of, and difference between, pest resurgence and a secondary pest
outbreak. - ANS-pest resurgence results form the loss of the beneficials , caused by
broad-spectrums
Secondary pest outbreak results from teh loss of the primary pest population and a new pest
fills the gap
Compare the difference between particle drift and vapor drift - ANS-Vapor drift occurs when the
pesticide reaches the target, but then evaporates and moves off site as a gas (vapor).
, particle drift, is the movement of spray particles (droplets) moving off site due to air currents,
usually produces a clear pattern of damage in the general vicinity of the application
Compare the types of information you can find on a pesticide label and its SDS sheet -
ANS-The SDS contains more detailed and technical information than the label about the
product's chemical and physical properties, toxicological and ecological information, first-aid
procedures, and emergency response
it should never be used in place of the actual product label.
Even here, though, if you find that the SDS and the label contradict each other, always follow
the label.
Compare the uses of contact and systemic herbicides. - ANS-Contact herbicides have
Symptoms occur quickly, however they have little impact on underground structures. often used
for the control of small (under 4 inches) annual weeds..
Systemic herbicides move into the week and are transported through various ways within the
plant. Systemic herbicides are often used to control perennial plants that have underground
structures.
Contrast the difference between organic, inorganic and microbial pesticides - ANS-Organic
Pesticides- organic simply means the chemical compound contains the element carbon. They
are often extremely effective and some are quite specific in their activity.
Inorganic Pesticides- typically derived from minerals that occur in nature, They are usually toxic
to a wide range of organisms
Microbial Pesticides- active ingredient are disease causing bacteria, viruses and fungi. highly
specific to the specific pests..
danger + skull and crossbones signal meaning - ANS-oral, dermal, or inhalation toxicity, very
low dose could kill a person
danger signal word - ANS-corrosive
Define drift - ANS-is the movement of pesticide in air currents beyond the boundaries of the
target area
pesticide labels sometimes provide specific product instructions regarding drift
Define exposure - ANS-occurs whenever you get pesticides in or on your body.
