3. What Phylum do all insect-related animals belong to?
Answer: All insect-related ani- mals such as mites, ticks, and spiders belong to a phulum
called the Arthropoda
4. What are Arachnids?
Answer: Spiders, Mites, scorpions, and ticks. Most arthropod pests are insects or arachnids.
- four pairs of legs
- two body segments (abdomen and cephalothorax)
5. Name the four control strategies used to attempt the control of arthropods or rodents.
,Answer: 1. Resource Management/Environment Manipulation
2. Prevention/Mechanical Barriers
3. Biological Control
4. Chemical Control
6. Resource Management/Environment Manipulation
Answer: Management of food, wa- ter, and shelter availability, and habitat modification to
minimize or eliminate pest is usually one of the most effective methods for controlling
pests.
7. Prevention/Mechanical Barriers
Answer: Barriers such as screens, netting, and protec- tive clothing all are mechanical
means to protect people from biting and nuisance insects.
8. Biological Control
Answer: The use of predators, parasites, and pathogens (insect dis- eases) can be effective
in controlling some pest species, if the beneficial organisms can establish themselves or if a
population can be maintained.
9. Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Answer: This concept uses a combination of biolog- ical, environmental and chemical
control methods
,10. IPM- How?
Answer: Controlling pests by stressing non-chemical methods is the goal of pest
management programs
11. IPM- Why?
Answer: An IPM program seeks to maintain to maintain pest populations below the level
at which they cause problems.
12. IPM
Answer: It is an alternative and improved approach to traditional pest management. I uses
information on the life cycles of pests and their interactions with the environ- ment, in
combination with available pest control methods, to manage pests by the most economical
means with the least possible damage to people, property, and the environment.
13. IPM- Program
Answer: Under an IPM program, spraying is used ONLY when AB- SOLUTELY
NECESSARY
14. What is the difference between winged ants and termite swarmers?
Answer: Thee key features can quickly identify winged ants
1. A pinched waist
, 2. Elbowed antennae
3. Wings of different lengths
15. Which ant species has a heart-shaped abdomen?
Answer: Acrobat Ant
16. Where do odorous house ants get their name?
Answer: The odor they give off when they are crushed, smells like rotten coconut
17. What type of control is best for red imported fire ants?
Answer: Broadcast baiting followed by mound drenching
18. What is "budding"?
Answer: When pharaoh ants separate into multiple colonies due to liquid insecticide
treatment
19. Order
Answer: Group of similar families
20. Complete Metamorphosis
Answer: Insect development consisting of four stages
egg, larva, pupa, and adult
21. Castes
Answer: - ants in a colony are grouped into castes based off of the tasks they perform.
