Removal of all wood to earth contacts except pressure treated wood designed for ground
contact
Removal of all visible and accessible termite tunnels
Application of an approved soil termiticide, where application includes all areas specified in
defined, comprehensive, or pre-construction treatments"
"Treatment of Powder Post Beetles and Wood Borers - CORRECT ANSWER=> Application of an
approved pesticide
Ventilation of the under-floor space between the bottom of the floor joists and the earth to
meet the requirements of the International Residential Building Code for one and two family
dwellings"

between the bottom of the floor joists and the earth to meet the requirements of the
International Residential Building Code for one and two family dwellings
Installation of a vapor barrier to cover a minimum of 70% of the exposed soil surface in a crawl

,"Treatment of Schools - CORRECT ANSWER=> Treatment of Schools involves taking special
precautions to minimize the potential exposure of students to pesticides.
-Application of pesticides in rooms vacant for 3+ hours
-Applications of bait formulations, rodenticide baits in tamper-resistant containers, insecticides
when students not in the room.
-Outdoor: allowed if students are not expected to be present within 20 feet of the application
site. Must be clearly marked by fence or similar barrier.
-All dilutions must be mixed outside of student occupied areas.
-Liquid termiticides must be performed when students are not present (20+ feet away) and are
not expected to be present for 3+ hours"
"Fair Business Practices Act - CORRECT ANSWER=> All contracts signed contain a notice that the
contract can be canceled for up to 3 business days after signing. Requires all work be performed
in a quality manner."
"Hazardous Waste Management Act - CORRECT ANSWER=> 1979- Follow the Federal Resource

from improper activities involving hazardous waste."
"Pesticide Use and Application Act - CORRECT ANSWER=> The GDA enforces the Georgia Pesticide

Water
Harborage (a place to hide)"
"Three Major Groups of Pests - CORRECT ANSWER=> Insects and other arthropods (mites, ticks,
spiders)
Vertebrates (birds, squirrels, rats, and mice)
Wood decay fungi"
"Arthropods - CORRECT ANSWER=> A group of animals that includes insects, spiders, mites, and
ticks.
All Arthropods share some biological characteristics with Humans:"

, "What biological characteristics do Arthropods share with Humans? - CORRECT ANSWER=> A
central nervous system- a main nerve cord that runs the length of the body
Striated skeletal muscles- like in humans, but arthropod muscles are attached inside the
exoskeleton
Bilateral symmetry- like humans, if you cut an arthropod down the middle both halves look like
mirror images"
"How do Arthropods differ from Humans? - CORRECT ANSWER=> Segmented body and
appendages- a body with at least 2 segments and legs and antennae that are divided into
sections
Chitinous exoskeleton- The skeleton on the exterior is made of a protein called chitin. This "skin"
must be shed before the arthropod can grow.
Open circulatory system- the exoskeleton creates a cavity and "blood" flows inside the cavity.
Arthropods do not have a system of veins and arteries.
The arthropod nervous system- has main nerve cord but it includes several "control" centers or
little brains (ganglia), usually one ganglia per body segment, not a single brain like Humans."
"How are Insects different from Arthropods? - CORRECT ANSWER=> Insects have the following
features:
Bodies are segmented into 3 sections - head, thorax, and abdomen.
Head with one pair of antennae
Thorax with 3 pairs of legs
If they have wings, 2 pair
Abdomen has no locomotion appendages"
"Insects make up what percentage of all known species of animals on Earth? - CORRECT
ANSWER=> 85%"
"Diptera - CORRECT ANSWER=> Order containing flies"
"Blattodea - CORRECT ANSWER=> Order containing cockroaches and termites"
"Hemiptera - CORRECT ANSWER=> Order containing bed bugs"
