Pest management sprays on the flightline
Tech Sgt. Adrian Pozo-Romero, 31st Civil Engineer Squadron pest management
technician, sprays pesticide on weeds on the flightline July 25, 2014, at
Aviano Air Base, Italy. Pest technicians are responsible for applying
environmentally-friendly chemicals to exterminate weed growth around base,
including the flightline. If left untreated, weeds can overgrow and cause
damage to asphalt such as cracking and uplifting, posing a foreign object
damage hazard to vehicles and aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman
