DOD Pesticide Standards
3 DOD Pesticide Standards

- Non-Restricted
- Nonstandard Pesticides
Restricted
- for use by trained pesticides applicators
- includes all EPA restricted use pesticides
Non-Restricted
- available without control through the military supply system
- does not require special training to apply, but only trained personnel may apply these products on ship
- unsatisfactory results/in doubt of qualified applicators to supervise pesticide application, contact special assistance from EPMU/other units with an entomologist
Nonstandard pesticides
- must be approved by appropriate area entomologist prior to use
Pesticide type - by use

- Herbicide
- Insecticides
- Molluscicide
- Rodenticides
Acaricide
control mites, scorpions, spiders, ticks

Baygon
Botanicas example
few in use
Synthetics are common example

- d-phenothrin
Pesticide type - by mode of entry
- Stomach poisons
- Contact poison
- Fumigants
Stomach poisons
- kill following ingestion
contact poison
- enters through the insects body wall or respiratory centers, kill after contact
Fumigants
- enters in the gaseous/vapor form via respiratory system and/or through body surfaces
Pesticide type - by mode of action
- Biological
- Desiccant
- Preservatives
- Repellent
- Chemosterilants
- Systemic
- Growth regulators
Biological
a formulation containing parasitic microorganisms such as:
- Viruses, bacteria, etc,
- metabolic by- products that control pest
Desiccant
- cause death by dehydration
Preservatives
Poisonous substances applied to material such as wood
Growth regulators
controls he normal growth and/or maturity process in insects
Pesticide type - by formulation
Most of these compounds must be specially formulated to permit adequate, effective application
- virtually all preparation of concentrated material for military use is done commercially
- dilution of concentrate w/t oil/water is all that is normally required
- Dry dusts/granules are usually prepared in a ready-to-use form, require no further processing
formulation selection
selection of the proper formulation for a specific control is as important as the choice of pesticide
the various formulations into which pesticides may be prepared are
- oil solution
- emulsions
- suspensions
- dusts
- granules
per FIFRA ( Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, Rodenticide Act of 1972), the following signal word, antidote statements, general notice must appear on pesticide labeling:
- DANGER:
- WARNING
- CAUTION
- No warning
- All pesticides must bear the words (keep out of reach of children)
DANGER
Skull and crossbones, antidote statement, highly toxic
WARNING
No antidote statement, moderately toxic
CAUTION
No antidote statement, slightly toxic
No warning
Comparatively free of toxicity
In addition, pesticide labeling also must provide
- Name and brand
- EPA registration number
- Ingredient statement
- Statement of use
- statement: “it is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent w/t its labeling”
- Directions for use
- Method of application
- Storage and disposal
Personal Protective Equipment required for Pesticide Applicators
PPE must be worn to protect all parts of body from pesticide contamination, must be stored in an area separate from any pesticide exposure
Respirators
- Must be NIOSH approved
- Ensure correct type of cartridge/canister to protect against specific gases, vapors
- changed after 8hrs of use/if a pesticide odor is detected
- changed after 4hrs during heavy spraying
- certain op may require special designed gas masks
eye protection
wear either unvented/indirectly vented goggles/a face shield to prevent contamination to the eyes
body protection
- a long sleeve shirt, full length trousers/coverall type garments should be worn any time pesticides are handled
- closely woven material
- a rubber apron should be worn when using highly toxic materials, when mixing
- trousers should be worn outside rubber boots
- clean clothing should be worn daily
- change before you go home
Head protection
- always wear something to protect the head
- hard-hats
- wide-brimmed, waterproof hat if drift is a factor
hand protection
- wear solvent resistant gloves that will protect the wrist
- ensure they are not fabric lined
- gloves should be tested for leaks on a daily basis
ear protection
required for large dispersal equipment due to noise
