When spraying a pesticide around air conditioning units and forced air heating systems
it would be best to: - Answer-Avoid spraying when air is being drawn into the system
Ground water is: - Answer-Water beneath the earths surface in soil or rock
Calibrations of sprayers is important to: - Answer-Ensure the proper rate of pesticide is
applied
To ensure proper operation and long life, a stainless-steel compressed sprayer tank
should be cleaned at least: - Answer-Weekly
The most common types of hand dusters are: - Answer-Bulb and bellows
Nozzle tips of a compressed air sprayer should be cleaned: - Answer-According to
manufacturer instructions
Back flow preventers protect water supplies from pesticide contamination when: -
Answer-The water pressure decreases suddenly
An easy way to calibrate a large spray rig is to: - Answer-Empty the tank into a
container of known volume (i.e. gallon bucket) while being timed (i.e. 2 minutes)
Using low pressure in a compressed air sprayer prevents: - Answer-Off target
applications of a pesticide caused by splash back

weekly
If the compressed air sprayer hose breaks or springs a leak while applying material, you
should: - Answer-Turn the tank upside down

A spot treatment is: - Answer-A pesticide application to surfaces not larger than 2 sqft.
A routine schedule of maintenance/cleaning/checking and calibration equipment is
important to: - Answer-Ensure application of label directed amounts of pesticides.
What is the major objective of a soil termiticide application? - Answer-To establish a
chemical barrier in the soil between the termites and the wood structure.
What is a crack and crevice pesticide application for household pest control? - Answer-
An application into cracks and crevices where pests hide or enter structures.
