Georgia Pest Control Practice Test

What symbol would be displayed for a pesticide that is moderately toxic?

1. A skull in red

2. A crossbones in red

3. A skull and crossbones in red

4. No symbol

The correct answer is: No symbol

The symbol displayed for a pesticide that is moderately toxic is represented by the absence of any symbol indicating high toxicity. In most labeling systems, highly toxic substances are marked with symbols such as a skull or a skull and crossbones to convey a clear message about the danger they pose. Pesticides that are classified as moderately toxic do not require such prominent warning symbols, as they do not pose an immediate life-threatening risk to humans and pets when used as directed. Instead, safety instructions and precautionary measures are often provided to ensure safe handling without the need for alarming symbols. Therefore, no symbol would be applicable in this case, indicating a moderate level of toxicity.
