treatment: If moisture level is lowered the fungi will not feed on wood.
\14. What is instar? - ANS - a. The exoskeleton forces insects to grow in stages or
increments called "instars"

\2. What is a spot treatment ? - ANS - a. 1 ft by 1 ft
\20. What is leaching ? - ANS - a. A way that pesticides move through soil with
water. occurs when water moves down through the soil and pesticides dissolve.
dangerous because ground water is most of our drinking water
\21. What is most harmful to pollenators - ANS - a. Dust
\22. Chemical Degradation - ANS - a. exposure to UV light
, \23. Leaching is worse then? - ANS - a. Options are something about sandy
surface close to an aquifer or far away from aquifer

\29.Compressed air sprayer breaks or leaks what do you do? - ANS - a. turn tank
upside down
\3. What is ground water - ANS - a. freshwater that soaks into the soil and is
stored in the tiny spaces between rocks and particles of soil. Makes up most of
water source

reduce or eliminate the ways pests can enter into a building. Stopping enterance
points
-Habitat Modification: reducing sources of food and living area where pests
currently reside
-Sanitation: cleaning up and removing items pests can use as food
-Repellants: using chemicals to prevent pests from getting close to an area
-mechanical/physical: fly swatters, air curtains, heat and traps.

the proper amount of product needed
\31. Hose ruptures while using equipment, what do you do? - ANS - a. First turn
off the entire system
\32. What is the best way to collaborate? - ANS - a. Hint: Spray into tank with with
known volume, measure, repeat, take the average
\33. anticoagulant baits: - ANS -
\34. What is biochemical pesticide ? - ANS - a. Naturally occurring substances
that control pests by non toxic modes of action such as pheromones
\35. why is the communication part of the ipm important? - ANS - -It provides the
owner of the property with tangible proof of professional service

state form
