Equipment - Test Your Knowledge
Name and describe one popular type of compressed-air sprayer.
✔️The 1-gallon stainless steel sprayer is a widely used tool equipped with multiple spray nozzles for
precise application of insecticides in areas where pests may hide.
Name three commonly used sprayers in general pest control.
✔️Compressed-air sprayers, backpack sprayers, and power sprayers.
What parts of a compressed-air sprayer should you inspect regularly?
✔️Regular inspections should include checking both the interior and exterior of the spray tank for any
pinholes or stripped threads. Additionally, examine the pump unit's check valve and plunger cup for any
signs of wear or damage, inspect the hose for cracks and soft spots, and test the nozzle using a spray
pattern check tray.
For what types of applications might you use a pin-stream nozzle?
✔️Pin-stream nozzles are ideal for crack and crevice treatments, directing a targeted stream of
pesticide using an injection tool (extension tube).
For what types of applications might you use a flat-fan nozzle?
✔️Flat-fan nozzles are commonly used for general or spot treatments on flat surfaces.
How often should you clean a compressed-air sprayer?
✔️If utilized daily, the sprayer should be cleaned weekly. For less frequent users, it is advisable to clean
the sprayer after each use.
To mix insecticide concentrates, what temperature water should you put in the spray tank? Why?
✔️Cool water is recommended for mixing insecticide concentrations because warm water can degrade
pesticides and increase their odor. It is important to avoid using warm water for pesticide mixes.
, True or False: Backpack sprayers are a good choice to apply pesticides in homes and small businesses.
✔️False. Backpack sprayers are better suited for continuous applications over large areas, such as in
commercial food facilities and warehouses.
What are some advantages of using bait stations?
✔️Bait stations are compact and easily movable, designed to attract specific target pests rather than
non-target organisms. They contain the toxin, making it less accessible to children and pets.
Name some factors that determine success in baiting for pests.
✔️1. Understand the timing, placement, and method of positioning baits and bait stations.
2. Select baits that appeal to the target pests.
3. Keep the delivery tube capped when not in use if utilizing guns or other injection tools to prevent bait
from drying out.
4. Avoid contaminating baits with insecticide sprays that may deter pests.
Name at least three kinds of traps used to monitor, catch, and/or kill pests.
✔️1. Snap (trigger) traps.
2. Live traps.
3. Glue boards.
4. Insect light traps (ILTs).
What type of pest would you be most likely to catch with a trigger trap? Where should you place the
traps?
✔️Rodents such as mice and rats are primarily caught in trigger traps. These traps should be positioned
near walls, behind objects in dark areas, and in locations where rodent activity is observed, ensuring
they align with the rodents’ natural travel paths.
Why is it important to match the size of a trigger trap with the size of the target rodent species?
✔️Using a snap trap sized for mice may not be effective for catching rats, while larger traps for rats
may lead to many instances of sprung traps with few captures for mice.
