Pesticide Applicator Category-7A-General-and-Household-Pest-Control Book

The TEMPRID SC label specifies that the re-entry interval for treated areas is to wait until the treated area is dry, typically 1-2 hours under normal conditions, unless otherwise specified for specific uses. This ensures that the pesticide has settled and there is no risk of exposure to wet residues. TheGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 5: Pesticide Application) aligns with this guidance for most indoor applications. Option A (24 hours) and Option C (12 hours) are incorrect, as they exceed the label’s re-entry requirement unless specified for a specific situation (e.g., in schools, where additional restrictions may apply).

NJDEP requires commercial pesticide applicators to recertify every five years. For Category 7A applicators, this involves earning 8 credits in Core (general pesticide safety and regulations) and 16 credits in each category (e.g., 7A) within that five-year period (N.J.A.C. 7:30-6.4). Option A is incorrect because the category credits are 16, not 24, and the timeframe is five years, not three. Option B (80 dollars per year) is irrelevant to recertification credits, though there may be fees for licensing.

A carcinogen is a substance that can cause cancer, as defined in theGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 3: Pesticide Safety). Some pesticides are classified as carcinogens due to their potential to cause cancer with long-term exposure. Option B (birth defects) is associated with teratogens, not carcinogens. Option C (teratogen) is incorrect because a teratogen is a substance that causes birth defects, not cancer, and the term itself is not the definition.

Ants are identified by their elbowed antennae, which bend at an angle, and a narrow, pinched waist. TheGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 7: Ants) lists this as a key characteristic. Option B (wings of equal length) applies to termites, not ants (ant wings are unequal in length). Option C (no waist) also describes termites, not ants.
