1. How can pest identification help you develop a good pest control
strategy?-
: Identification of the pest allows you to determine basic information about it, including its life cycle and
the time that
it is most susceptible to being controlled.
2. Define "integrated pest management" (IPM) and list several possible
control tactics that may be used in an IPM strategy.: Integrated pest management
is the combining of appropriate pest control tactics into a single plan to reduce pests and their
damage to an acceptable level. Pest control tactics may include: host resistance, biological control,
cultural control, mechanical control, sanitation, and chemical (pesticide) control.
3. You applied a pesticide, but it did not control the pest. Name three reasons
why your control effort might have failed.: The failure of the pesticide to control the pest
might have been caused by pest resistance, choosing the wrong pesticide, misidentifying the pest,
applying the wrong
amount, or applying the pesticide incorrectly.

, 4. What can you do to keep the pests you are trying to control from
becoming resistant to the pesticides you use?: Pest resistance can be reduced by
using integrated pest management and rotating the types of pesticides used.
5. Name four of the six available methods to control pests when natural
controls are not sufficient.: The six pest control methods include: host resistance, biological
control, cultural control, mechanical control, sanitation, and chemical control.
6. Name the four factors that affect pesticide use outdoors.: Pesticide use
outdoors is affected by soil factors, surface moisture, humidity and temperature, and wind.
7. What is the best control method for controlling plant diseases?: At
present, prevention is the only plant disease control measure. Once a plant is infected, few
control methods are effective, including pesticides.
8. Name four forms of mechanical vertebrate pest control.: Traps, barriers,
gunning,
attractants, and repellents are all forms of mechanical vertebrate pest control.
9. What is a pesticide formulation?: A pesticide formulation is the mixture of active and inert
(inactive) ingredients that forms a pesticide product.
10. What is the difference between active ingredients and inert
ingredients?: - Active ingredients are the chemicals in a pesticide product that control pests. Inert
