Category 7A General and Household Pest Control Exam Preparation Material | Pesticide Applicator Category 7A General and Household Pest Control Exam

Explanation:
For single-family residences, NJDEP regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:30-9.13) require written notification to include the exact date of application to inform residents of when the treatment will occur.
Option B (full pesticide label directions) is not required in the notification, though the label must be followed.
Option C (name of the pesticide) is typically included in post-application notices but is not mandatory in the pre-application written notification.

Explanation:
For multi-family residences, NJDEP regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:30-9.13) require decal notification in all entryways to the building to inform residents of pesticide applications. This ensures visibility for all tenants without requiring individual unit notices.
Option A (decal in each unit prior) is not required, though advance notice to tenants is.
Option C (post-application decal in each unit) is impractical and not mandated; post-application notices are typically posted in common areas.

Explanation:
Only the adult stage of a flea feeds on blood, typically from a host like a pet or human. Flea larvae feed on organic debris and flea feces (dried blood), not directly on blood. The General Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A (Chapter 7: Fleas) details this life cycle.
Option B (adult and larva) is incorrect, as larvae do not feed on blood.
Option C (egg and larva) is incorrect, as eggs are non-feeding, and larvae do not consume blood.

Explanation:
Norway rats leave dark, greasy smears along walls from body oils and a musty odor from their urine, as they travel along established runways. The General Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A (Chapter 8: Rodents) lists these as key signs of infestation.
Option A (eggs) is incorrect, as rats are mammals and do not lay eggs.
Option C (ceiling void nests) is more typical of squirrels or birds, not Norway rats, which nest in burrows or lower areas.

Explanation:
The TEMPRID SC label explicitly states that applicators should not spray bed linens or other materials that come in direct contact with people, such as mattresses, pillows, or clothing, to prevent human exposure to the pesticide. This is a critical safety instruction for indoor use in Category 7A applications.
Option A (broadcast treatment to floors) is incorrect, as TEMPRID is typically applied as a spot or crack-and-crevice treatment indoors, not a broadcast application, unless specified.
Option C (high-pressure system) is incorrect, as high-pressure systems can disperse pests like bedbugs and are not recommended for indoor use; low-pressure, targeted applications are preferred.
