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.
