Unwanted organisms that are a nuisance to man/animals and can
cause injury to humans, animals, plants, structures, or
Pest
possessions. Can be an insect, rodent, fungus, weed, or other
organisms.
Sequence of Pest Control Inspection, Diagnosis, Prescription and Application, Evaluation
Step in the pest control sequence - Includes asking customers
questions and examining the building thoroughly. Look for
Inspection harborage areas, conducive conditions (moisture, heat, etc),
food/water sources, means of entry, and evidence of infestations
(damage, droppings, etc)
Step in the pest control sequence - Includes identification of the
Diagnosis
pest and any facts contributing to infestation.
Step in the pest control sequence - what, how, when, and where
Prescription and Application
to use control techniques that correct the problem.
Integrated Pest Management - an approach where habitat
IPM modifications, cultural controls, pest control devices, and
pesticides are integrated and used together.
Exclusion Blocking points of entrance for pests.
Step in the pest control sequence - periodic inspections to
Evaluation
assess effectiveness of prescribed plan.
The most basic piece of equipment, used on a variety of insects;
Hand Carried Compressed Air includes a tank, pump, tube that carries spray to hose, hose that
Sprayer connects to tank, a valve to control flow, and a nozzle to
distribute spray.
These products produce an aerosol or fog droplet that floats in
Canned Aerosol Pesticides the air for a period of time and then settles. The droplets kill
pests on contact or if insects fly/move into treated area.
Break liquid pesticides into aerosol droplets through either
Aerosol and Fog Generators
mechanical means (cold fogging) or heat (thermal fogging).
, Break insecticide into aerosol-sized droplets and propel them
into the air as a "fog". Examples are ULV and ULD. Generally used
Cold Foggers
to fill rooms and small warehouses to kill flying and exposed
insects. Fogs do not enter cracks/crevices.
Us heat to vaporize oil-based insecticide formulations, operating
Thermal Foggers
similarly to cold foggers but with smaller droplet size.
Re-entry interval, the time set before people or pets reoccupy
REI
treated areas.
Used to apply dust, pesticides in dust sit on surface and
Dusters accumulate on insect body parts. They are either absorbed or
ingested when insects groom themselves.
Used for centuries, includes rodent snap traps; small animal
traps; rodent bait boxes and bait traps; fly traps; electric fly traps;
Traps
sticky traps; pheromone dispensers; and so on. Can catch/kill
populations and can also be used for monitoring.
IT IS THE LAW. includes all written, printed, or graphic material
Label accompanying the pesticide. Must have label in possession when
using a product.
Brand name, use classification, ingredient statement, registered
uses, directions for use, safety information, signal word,

precautions, net contents, name and address of manufacturer,
and EPA registration number.

Directions for Use pest can be targeted. Also gives application methods and
dosage rates.
General (application to broad expanse of surfaces), Spot
(application to limited area where insects are and will not
3 types of residual applications ordinarily be contacted by workers), and Crack and Crevice
(application of small amounts where insects hide like voids and
entry points).
Safety Data Sheet, formerly MSDS, technical bulletin that

procedures for handling or working with a given substance.

skin/mouth/eyes/lungs.
non-soluble pesticide is coming with a finely ground material like
clay and other ingredients to improve mixing. Form a suspension
Wettable Powders (WP) solution when mixed with water that must be agitated during
application. Can be abrasive to equipment and typically leave a
residue.
Dry Flowables or Water Similar to WP but in form of granules to be mixed with water,
Dispersible Granules (DF or require agitation.
WDG)
Pesticides that dissolve with water after mixing to form true
Soluble Powders (S or SP)
solution, do not require agitation and are non-abrasive.
