The TEMPRID SC label and theGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 7: Bedbugs) recommend that for interior bedbug applications, applicators should reapply every 7-10 days until the infestation is eliminated. This is because bedbugs have a life cycle where eggs hatch over time, and multiple treatments are needed to target newly emerged nymphs. Option A (high-pressure system with a fan nozzle) is incorrect, as high-pressure systems can disperse bedbugs and are not suitable for indoor applications; low-pressure, targeted applications (e.g., crack-and-crevice) are preferred. Option B (apply to flat surfaces with prolonged human contact) is incorrect, as the TEMPRID label prohibits application to surfaces like mattresses or furniture where prolonged contact occurs, to avoid human exposure.

For cracks and crevices, a handheld compressed air sprayer is recommended because it allows precise application of pesticide into small, hard-to-reach areas where pests like roaches orants hide. TheGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 5: Pesticide Application) notes that these sprayers are ideal for targeted treatments in household pest control. Option B (cold fogger) and Option C (thermal fogger) are used for larger areas or space treatments, not precise crack-and-crevice applications.

Swarming termites and ants can be distinguished by physical characteristics. Termites do not have a waist, as their body is broad and straight, while ants have a narrow, pinched waist. Additionally, termites have straight antennae, whereas ants have bent (elbowed) antennae. TheGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 7: Termites vs. Ants) highlights these differences. Option A (bent antennae) applies to ants, not termites. Option C (narrow waist) also describes ants, not termites.

NJDEP regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:30-9.13) require that the specific date of pesticide application at multi-family residences be provided if requested by tenants and/or the contracting party (e.g., property manager). This ensures transparency for those directly affected by the application. Option A (contracting party only) is too restrictive, as tenants have a right to know. Option C (OPRA) refers to the Open Public Records Act, which is not relevant to this specific notification requirement.

NJDEP regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:30-9.13) require that multi-family residences receive notice prior to treatment, but the exact timeframe is not specified as 24 or 48 hours in the regulation. Best practice, as noted in theGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 2: Notification Requirements), is to provide notice in advance, typically at least 24 hours, but the regulation itself uses the general term “prior.” Option B (24 hours) and Option C (48 hours) are specific timeframes not mandated by the regulation.
