If your sprayer tip, in your backpack sprayer or your hand can, is
clogged, what is something you can use to unclog it? - ANSWER-

spray tip and try to blow the clot out!
The capacity of a pesticide to cause injury is called what? -
ANSWER-Toxicity. Some people use the word "potency" but NOT
in pest control. We say the word "toxic" for pesticide. How toxic is
something? Well, it's SIGNAL WORD tells you that.
What do you do if your pesticide bottle is damaged? - ANSWER-
Pour it in another bottle with the same label. What you say, you
only have an empty bottle available with no label on it? What do
you do you ask? WHAT IS NEEDED ON ANY AND EVERY
"SERVICE" CONTAINER? (hint: Signal word, name & address of
company, and pesticide name).

True or false? When combining two or more pesticides, the level
of toxicity may increase? - ANSWER-True— if you mix bleach to
clean toilets, with comet cleanser, that's also used to clean toilets,
you create sulfuric acid gas that will kill you.
When selecting a pesticide, what's the first and most important
thing to do? - ANSWER-Read the label. You really need to "phone
a friend" for the answer to this one or can you remember to READ
THE LABEL FIRST?!
Define "mode of action" - ANSWER-Mode of action is the way in
which a particular pesticide affects the target pest. Rat bait works
sending the blood of an animal, but insecticides commonly
paralyze an insect, until it dies of starvation.
True or false: Understanding the different "modes of pesticide
action" will help you select the proper chemical and will help
predict which pesticide will work the best? - ANSWER-True. Why
would you use an insect growth regulator to try and kill a
cockroach when it's not designed for that? An IGR is "birth
control"!!!!!! It works differently than an "insecticide!!!"

treatment? - ANSWER-The size of an application for a "spot"
