You’re applying an herbacide to a circular roundabout that measures 85 ft across. How many total square feet will you be treating?
Remember:
The radius of a circle is half the diameter.
The formula for the area of a circle is: 3.14 x (radius x radius) = Area
3.14 x (42.5 x 42.5) = 5,671 square feet
You’re applying a five ft band of insecticide around a rectangular home. The home measures 90 ft long by 25 feet wide. How many square feet will you be treating?
(90 ft + 90ft + 25 ft + 25 ft) x 5 feet wide band = 1,150 sq ft
A home sits on a lawn that measures 50 ft by 100 ft. The home is a square that measures 30 ft by 30 ft, sitting in the middle of the lawn. You’re mixing product for a broadcast treatment on the entire lawn. How many square feet will you be treating?
50 x 100 = 5,000 square feet total size of lot
30 x 30 = 900 square feet is the footprint of the house
5,000 - 900 = 4,100 remaining square feet of lawn to be treated
You have a 16 ounce bottle of pesticide that is premixed to a 24% concentration.
If you pour this 16 ounce bottle into a 1 gallon sprayer with water. What is the new concentration of the finished mixture?
Remember: There are 128 fl oz in a gallon
The 16 ounce bottle represents 1/8 the total volume of the 1 gallon sprayer. (128 oz divided by 16 oz = 8)
The new concentration will be 1/8 of the original concentration. 1/8 of 24% is 3%. The new sprayer contains a concentration of 3%.
Refer to Talstar P Label: Is Talstar P a restricted use pesticide?
