Answers ||
Integrated Pest Management - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔a process
|| || || || || || ||
that utilizes inspections and periodic monitoring to determine if any
|| || || || || || || || || ||
type of treatment is needed to reduce pest populations to tolerable
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
levels
Four Steps in an Integrated Pest Management Program - CORRECT
|| || || || || || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔1. Inspect the site for pest problems. || 2. Set pest || || || || || || || || || || ||
action thresholds. || 3. Apply pest management procedures. || 4.
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Monitor the pest management program (post-treatment)
|| || || || ||
Action Threshold - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔the level of pest
|| || || || || || || ||
infestation which requires initiating a control strategy
|| || || || || ||
Pest Exclusion - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔best way to manage
|| || || || || || || ||
pests, denying entry into buildings through sealing gaps, installing
|| || || || || || || || ||
proper door thresholds etc. some companies do this work, while
|| || || || || || || || || ||
other's leave it up to the client
|| || || || || ||
Pest Habitat Manipulation - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔a control
|| || || || || || ||
strategy that denies pests access to food, water, and shelter, usually
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
, 2
through concentrated sanitation efforts. factors could include
|| || || || || || ||
temperature and humidity. critical for controlling cockroaches and|| || || || || || || ||
rodents. take care of filthy conditions
|| || || || ||
Pest Removal - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔most direct method of
|| || || || || || || ||
managing pest populations. involves lethal trapping (most used) and
|| || || || || || || || ||
disposal; live trapping (wildlife and animals) and removal; and direct
|| || || || || || || || ||
removal techniques (such as vacuuming cockroaches)
|| || || || || ||
Contact Insecticides and Stomach Poisons - CORRECT
|| || || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔contact insecticides penetrate through insect body || || || || || ||
covering; applied directly to insect or as residue on surface for insect
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
to crawl through. stomach poisons ingested by insect during feeding
|| || || || || || || || || ||
or grooming
||
Residual Insecticides and Non-Residual Insecticides - CORRECT
|| || || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔involves length of time a pesticide will last. residual || || || || || || || || ||
insecticides may persist for weeks or longer. non-residual pesticides
|| || || || || || || || ||
break down quickly after treatment
|| || || ||
Desiccants - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔part of inorganic || || || || || ||
insecticides. disrupt the water balance (such as rapid water loss) of
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
insects that contact them. low hazard to non-target organisms and
|| || || || || || || || || ||
not known to develop resistance
|| || || ||
, 2
Pyrethrins - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔part of botanical || || || || || ||
insecticides, which are plant-derived. pyrethrins are constituents of || || || || || || || ||
pyrethrum. interrupt the normal transmission of an insect's nerve || || || || || || || || ||
impulses. used with synergists, provide quick knockdown with little
|| || || || || || || || ||
residual activity. used at low rates as flushing agents during
|| || || || || || || || || ||
inspection to improve detection of insects || || || || ||
Synthetic Pyrethroids - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔part of synthetic
|| || || || || || ||
organics, which are laboratory-produced and contain carbon. mimic
|| || || || || || || ||
the action of pyrethrins meaning they interfere with the transmission
|| || || || || || || || ||
of nerve impulses. quick knockdown activity. engineered to be more
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
stable and persistent.
|| ||
Insect Growth Regulators - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔part of
|| || || || || || ||
synthetic organics, which are laboratory-produced and contain
|| || || || || || ||
carbon. chemicals that mimic the juvenile growth hormone and
|| || || || || || || || ||
prevent the immature insect from molting into the adult stage and,
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
in doing so, disrupt the insect's life cycle by preventing it from
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
reproducing. chitin synthesis inhibitors often grouped with IGRs so || || || || || || || || ||
the insects do not molt. very low hazard to non-target animals.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
insect-specific
Baits - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔placement makes them
|| || || || || ||
inaccessible to people and pets. offer ease of placement and are || || || || || || || || || || ||
odorless. in order to be effective, target pest must consume bait. less
