QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
VERIFIED SOLUTION
k Name and describe one popular type of compressed-air sprayer. - The 1-gallon stainless steel sprayer.
This sprayer with a multiple-spray nozzle can apply insecticides accurately into insect harborages.
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? - Check the spray tank inside and
out. Look for pinholes and stripped threads. Examine the check valve and plunger cup of the pump unit
for wear and damage. Inspect the hose for cracks and soft spots. Check the nozzle by using a spray
pattern check tray.
For what types of applications might you use a pin-stream nozzle? - Crack and crevice applications. An
injection tool (extension tube) directs and narrows the stream of pesticide.
For what types of applications might you use a flat-fan nozzle? - For general or spot applications on even
surfaces.
How often should you clean a compressed-air sprayer? - If you use your sprayer daily, clean it weekly. If
you use it less often, clean it after each use.
To mix insecticide concentrates, what temperature water should you put in the spray tank? Why? - Cool.
Warm water helps break down pesticides and increases their odor. Never use warm water to mix
pesticide sprays.
, True or False: Backpack sprayers are a good choice to apply pesticides in homes and small businesses. -
False. Backpack sprayers are designed for continuous spraying of large areas such as commercial food
facilities and warehouses.
What are some advantages of using bait stations? - These devices are small and easy to move and place.
They are designed to attract the target pest, not nontarget organisms. The toxin is contained, so that it is
not easily accessible to children and pets.
Name some factors that determine success in baiting for pests. - 1. Know when, where, and how to place
baits and bait stations.
2. Choose the baits that you know pests like to eat.
3. If using guns or other injection devices, keep the delivery tube capped when not in use so the bait
does not dry out.
4. Do not contaminate baits with spray insecticides that might make the bait less attractive to 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 (mice and rats). Place traps close to the walls, behind objects in dark corners, and in
other areas where rats and mice are active. Place traps so that rats and mice will pass directly over the
trigger as they follow their natural course of travel (usually close to a wall).
Why is it important to match the size of a trigger trap with the size of the target rodent species? - Using a
mouse-sized snap trap to catch rats is inappropriate and ineffective. Conversely, using a rat trap to catch
mice will lead to many sprung traps with few captures.
What is the main advantage of using glue boards to catch rodents? The main drawback? - The main
advantage of using a glue board is that you can release non target catches relatively unharmed by
applying a coating of vegetable or cooking oil. However, glue boards do not kill quickly. Captured animals
may suffer a slow and inhumane death if they are left unattended for a long time or if they are discarded,
still living, along with the glue board.
