Expert Rationale
Altriset is a termiticide that belongs to the diamide class of chemicals. It contains
the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole, which acts on the insect's ryanodine
receptors, causing muscle paralysis and death. This class is unique in its mode of
action, making it effective for termite control. Therefore, the correct answer is
Diamide.
QUESTION 2
Where is the least likely entry point for subterranean termites on a monolithic
slab?
,a) Expansion joints
b) Hollow block
c) Plumbing penetrations
d) Control joints
CORRECT ANS: b
Expert Rationale
Hollow block is the least likely entry point for subterranean termites on a
monolithic slab because the slab is a solid concrete foundation. Subterranean
termites typically enter through expansion joints, control joints, plumbing
penetrations, and other cracks or gaps in the slab. Hollow block is not a typical
entry point for termites on a monolithic slab. Therefore, the correct answer is
Hollow block.
