| 1st thing to do when detecting a pest needing control | Identify the pest |
| how pest id helps develop good control strategy | allows determination of basic info, including life cycle and time most susceptible to control |
| pest that are nearly always present & require regular control | continuous pests |
| pests that are migratory, cyclical or pests require control once in a while | cyclical pests |
| organisms not pests under normal conditions but can become pests & require control | potential pests |
| keeping pest from becoming a problem | prevention |
| reducing pest numbers or damage | suppression |
| destroying an entire pest population | eradication |
| level of pest populations at which need pest control action to prevent damage/;injury | threshold |
| can improve pest control strategy by helping decisions about when to start control | why to consider thresholds |
| checking or scouting for pests | monitoring |
| what monitoring involves | determine what pests present, how many of ea. kind, how much damage pests are causing |
| importance of monitoring | helps determine if threshold has been reached & whether control measures have been effective |
| integrated pest management | IPM |
| several pest control tactics combined into single plan | integrated pest management |
| included in pest control tactics | host resistance, biological, cultural, mechanical or chemical controls & sanitation |
| 1 reason control effort might have failed | misidentifying the pest |
| 2nd reason control effort might have failed | pest resistance |
| 3rd reason control effort might have failed | wrong pesticide |
| 4th reason control effort might have failed | applying wrong amt. pesticide |
| 5th reason control effort might have failed | applying pesticide incorrectly |
| pest resistance can be reduced by | using integrated pest management and rotating the types of pesticides used |
| info printed on pesticide container | label |
| includes label & all product info from manufacturer | labeling |
| product has been shown to be likely to harm people or environment if not used correctly | Restricted Use Pesticide |
| can be purchased & used only by certified applicators under direct supervisioni | restrictions of Restricted Use Pesticide |
| where to look to find out if a pesticide is classified as Restricted Use | in a box on front panel of pesticide label |
| complex name that identifies the chemical components & structure of pesticide | chemical name |
| shorter name that EPA recognizes as substitute for chemical name of product | common name |
| name (usually trademark) used by chemical co. to id a pesticide product | brand name |
| common name | most accurate & useful way to identify a pesticide product |
| pesticide product is slightly toxic or relatively nontoxic | caution |
| pesticide product is moderately toxic | warning |
| pesticide product highly toxic | danger |
| pesticide product is highly toxic as a poison | poison |
| poison | identified by skull and crossbones |
| examples of signal words: | Caution, Warning, Danger, Poison |
| Signal words & symbols do | indicate the likelihood that you will experience acute harmful effects if you are over-exposed |
| Signal words & symbols do NOT | tell you about the risks of delayed harmful effects or allergic effects |
| Types of hazard statements | precautions about hazards to humans, environmental hazards and physical/chemical hazards |
| Hazards to Humans precautionary statements include | acute effects, delayed effects, allergic effects, & personal protective equipment requirements |
| Meaning of statement: "It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling" | it is illegal to use a pesticide in any way not permitted by the labeling |
| The pesticide label may not | contain all the instructions & directions for use |
