Falsifiable concentrates (EC or E) -CORRECTANSWER Formulations made up of the
technical material, solvents and emulsifiers. Some agitation is required. Once dry,
pesticide residue is barley visible.
Wettable Powder (WP) -CORRECTANSWER These formulations are made by
impregnating or coating an appropriate powder with the technical insecticide. Wettable
Powders do not dissolve in water and frequent agitation is usually required. Heavy
applications may leave visible deposits.
Soluble Powders (SP) -CORRECTANSWER May look like Wettable Powders but they
dissolve and form true solutions when dilute with water. Less visible than Wettable
Powders after drying, Frequent agitation is not required.
Suspension Concentrates (SC) -CORRECTANSWER Products made with small
particles suspended in oil solvents or water. Easy mix, require little or no agitation and
,remain stable for a long time. Have a greatly reduced inhalation hazard because they
come in a liquid form.
Flowable Liquids -CORRECTANSWER Contains concentrated water dispersible
powders in a liquid form. These powders may stay suspended for a long time. Flowable
liquids are easy to handle and have excellent dilution properties.
Microencapsulated Formulations (ME) -CORRECTANSWER manufactured by
suspending liquid or solid pesticide particles in microcapsules. By altering the
membrane of the microcapsules, the residual performance, speed and action and odor
can be affected. May clog sprayers and leave visible residue.
Dusts (D) -CORRECTANSWER Made by combining and insecticide with a dust diluent
(usually inert) Some products such as Boric Acid Dusts, are almost totally comprised of
Boric Acid and may have small amounts of other ingredients added. Drifts are a major
issue.
Granules -CORRECTANSWER Made by coating or impregnating an inert carrier with
an insecticide. Made of materials, such as, clay, corn cobs, pecan shells, saw dust, etc.
Formulations are ready to use and used mostly for exterior perimeter of buildings for the
control of crawling insects. Also is water activated.
, Baits -CORRECTANSWER Combination of a insecticide with an attractive carrier/food
that the target pest prefers. Pheromone attractants are added to increase the effects.
Comes in forms of gels, granules, paste, pellets, powders or liquids.
Fumigants -CORRECTANSWER toxic gases such as methyl bromine that are used to
kill pests.
Vitamin-K -CORRECTANSWER The antidote to consuming Anti-coagulants.
LD-50 -CORRECTANSWER the amount of a chemical that kills 50% of the animals in a
test population.
LC-50 -CORRECTANSWER the lethal concentration in air or water required to kill 50%
of the population.
Acute Toxicity -CORRECTANSWER adverse effects occur within a short period after
exposure to toxin.
Chronic Toxicity -CORRECTANSWER Repeated exposure over time to sub-lethal
doses of chemicals.
Signal Word -CORRECTANSWER Indicates how toxic a product is and how dangerous.
