application is limited to crack-to-crevice or building foundations up to the height

treatments maybe using a coarse, low-pressure spray to portions of surfaces the are
directly above bare soil, lawn, mulch or other vegetation
3 methods used to manage accidental invaders
- answer-exclusion
habitat modification
chemical control
,3 needs each pest species must have to survive in a site
- answer-food, water and shelter
3 types of application equipment that could be used in a perimeter treatment
- answer-Large capacity sprayer
Backpack sprayer
Compressed air sprayer
4 approaches for managing ant infestations
- answer-1. Pest proofing and sanitation
2. Barrier treatments
3. Treating the nest directly
4. Baits as a way of delivering pesticide into the nest
4 common places that pests can enter a structure?
- answer-cracks, windows, doors, and any utility service
4 common., structure-infesting cockroach species
- answer-German cockroach
Brownbanded cockroach
American cockroach
Oriental cockroach
4 places to inspect to look for pest or evidence of pests
- answer-1.cracks
2.behind/under stuff
3. Messy areas
4. Utility lines (electric, water, gas, computers etc)
(Where they will go into the outside building structure or interior walls)
,5 common entry sites for squirrels entering a structure
- answer-damaged attic louvers, ventilators, soffits, joints of siding, knot holes,
openings where utility pipes or wires enter, chimneys, and flashing.
5 locations ants build their nests?

Accidental invader often found in new homes feeding on molds growing on lumber
exposed to moisture
- answer-Foreign grain beetle
Accidental invader that humans move into homes in bundles of newspaper,
luggage, and flowers
- answer-European Earwig
associate the available monitoring tools for blood-feeding pests
- answer-ticks- do laundry and check on the body and clothes for ticks if you have
been outside
fleas-do laundry
bed bugs- barrier tapes on bed legs, interceptor devices beneath bed legs, or a
sticky surface sandwiched between small cardboard or plastic pieces. (that was
passive now this is active) the host volatiles, carbon dioxide, and/or heat to attract
bed bugs to a device. you can also use dogs.
lice- do laundry and maybe get Robi Comb
, Mosquitoes- community wide effort- elimination of breeding sites. small areas can
be treated using sprays, aerosols or fogs.
Associate the specific order produced by crushing an ant body for two common ant
species
- answer-Larger yellow ant- lemon order
Odorous house ants- rotten-coconut odor
best method to control bats in a structure
- answer-"bat-proof" the building ( making sure the bat dosent get in the building)
Choice of insecticide and application site for ant management?
- answer-Baits
Barriers
Sticky traps
compare the bumble bee with the carpenter bee
- answer-bumble bee- 3/4 inch long. large robust body has several colored hairs
giving it a fuzzy appearance. it has a black head, a yellow or orange and black
thorax, and black and yellow or orange patterns on its abdomen
carpenter bee- 3/4- 1 inch long. it has a large body and a thorax with dense yellow
or black hairs. The abdomen is shiny black and without the density of hairs seen on
a bumble bee.
compare:
anticoagulant and non-anticoagulant rodenticides
food bait and water bait rodenticides
detection blocks and tracking powders
- answer-anticoagulant and non-anticoagulant rodenticides-
anticoagulant- act by damaging blood vessels and inhabiting blood-clotting
mechanism.
