Pest Management

• Identify common pests and potential control
  methods.
• Understand how to use monitoring and inspection
  technique to make pest management decisions.
• Know how to use non-chemical control options if
  available.
• Seek ideas to combine several pest control
  options into an integrated pest management
  program.

4
Planning pesticide Applications

• Select appropriate pesticides and additives,
  suitable formulations, application equipment and
  application procedures.
• Read the label instructions and regulations
  before beginning an application.
• Identify hazards and residues associated with the
  pesticide used.

5
Protecting The Environment

• Look for potential sensitive areas and consider
  environmental consequences of the pesticide
  application.
• Adjusting or delaying outdoor applications or
  choosing alternate methods minimize environmental
  impact, including preventing drift, runoff, or
  loss to unintended areas.
• Follow procedures that prevent residue
  accumulation.

6
Preparing For Applications

• Calculate the size of application areas.
• Understand label specified application rates.
• Choose appropriate application equipment and
  recognize the impact of equipment components on
  accurate calibration.
• Calibrate and maintain application equipment.
• Determine the amount of concentrated pesticide
  and diluent to use.

7
Pesticide Considerations

• Use appropriate drift-reduction practices for
  outdoor applications.
• Monitor applications to ensure proper baiting
  techniques, application rate, and know that
  pesticide is reaching the target pest.
• Avoid contaminants of non-target surfaces or
  sensitive areas.
