Structural Pest Control Applicator Practice Exam

Granular formulations are made of larger, more uniform particles than dust formulations. Is this statement true or false?

1. True

2. False

3. It varies by manufacturer

4. It depends on the intended use

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because granular formulations are specifically designed with larger and more uniform particles compared to dust formulations. Granular pesticides provide a slower release of active ingredients and are typically used for applications such as soil treatment or targeted pest control in specific areas. The larger particle size allows for easier handling and application in environments where Dust formulations, which are composed of finer particles, can easily become airborne and are more suitable for treating surfaces where pests might be residing. The design of granular formulations enhances their effectiveness and application methods depending on the pest control strategy being employed.
