2 per 10 Rule - CORRECT ANSWER: In brick/concrete, apply 2 gallons of liquid termiticide per
10 linear feet
4 per 10 Rule - CORRECT ANSWER: In soil, apply 4 gallons of liquid termiticide per 10 linear
feet
5 Different Application Methods: - CORRECT ANSWER: Liquid formulations applied through
spray equipment
Liquid formulations applied through fogging device
Dry formulations applied using a variety of devices
Bail formulations (solid or liquid) applied with specific devices/ready to use stations
Gas formulations applied using a variety of devices
Absorption - CORRECT ANSWER: Taken from soil by roots and placed within the tissues of the
plant. Necessary for some herbicides and insecticides
Acute Toxicity - CORRECT ANSWER: A rapid response to a single exposure or multiple
exposures over a short time (<24 hours) that results in adverse health affects within 14 hours of
exposure
Adsorption - CORRECT ANSWER: When the AI binds to the outside of the soil particle
Aerosols (A)
,Advantages or Disadvantages: - CORRECT ANSWER: Liquid formulation of AI and solvent.
1. ready to use product in pressurized container
2. products intended for use in aerosol generator that release product as a fog
Advantages of A:
Portable
Easily stored
Disadvantages of A:
Risk of inhalation
Hazard if punctured. Flammable
Difficult to direct application of fog
Alternate Application Techniques (AAT) - CORRECT ANSWER: AATs must be approved by the
commission prior to use
Removal of all cellulosic material from under the building
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
American Cockroach - CORRECT ANSWER: 1 1/2 inch long. Light reddish brown with two
light spots behind the head.
Egg to adult 4-15 months, adults live for 1-1.5 years
Harborage site: Sewers, storm drains, and plumbing chases
,Adults have wings and can glide but are not good at powered flight
Anticoagulants
Two Generations: - CORRECT ANSWER: Doesn't allow blood to clot. Used in rondenticides.
1. Require bait consumption over several feedings (days) in order to receive a lethal dose
2. Lethal after a single ingestion of bait.
Ants - CORRECT ANSWER: Social insects, live in colonies, cannot live on their own. Over 100
species in GA
Nest protects reproductive female(s) (the Queen) as well as eggs and larval stage (the Brood).
Males appear once a year for mating during the swarm to create new colonies, and then die
within days.
Undergo Holometaboly (complete metamorphosis)
Ants outside of colony are adult sterile females (workers) they live for 6-12 months. They take
care of the brood and rebuild the nest.
A few older workers (foragers) leave the nest to find food for workers and the brood. less than
10% of foragers leave the nest.
Workers cannot eat solid food so the larva process and regurgitate, trophallaxis, social stomach.
Communicate with pheromones.
Single queen nests (10 years) and multi queen nests (1 year)
, Damage Caused: stinging, damaging our food, causing structural damage, injuring livestock,
short circuiting electrical
Arthropods - CORRECT ANSWER: A group of animals that includes insects, spiders, mites, and
ticks.
All Arthropods share some biological characteristics with Humans:
Baits (B)
Advantages or Disadvantages: - CORRECT ANSWER: Formulation of pesticide designed to be
eaten or swallowed, is generally marketed as ready to use and can be formulated as a dust,
granular, pellet, semi-liquid gel, or a liquid.
Contains different material to make it "taste good" to pests.
Advantages of B:
Placement is targeted by the applicator,reducing non target exposure
Most are ready to use
Easy to apply
Disadvantages of B:
Must compete with other available foods
May be attractive to domestic animals and humans
Repeated applications can cause build up of non-eaten bait
Bed Bugs - CORRECT ANSWER: 3/16 x 1/8 inch reddish brown and flat. Nocturnal. Feed on
blood, swollen after feeding.
Undergo Paurametabolous (incomplete metamorphosis).
