monitoring to determine if any type of treatment is needed to reduce pest/to tolerable levels (combo of

,define action threshold - ANSWER-the level in which a pest infestation requires initiating a control
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N




strategy



Describe and give examples of the following non chemical control practices

service/helping to understand what can be done for repairs) N N N N N N N N




2. Control Strategy that denies access to food, water, and shelter. (Mainly through sanitation for, rodent,
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N




roach, bed bug)

3. most direct approach: Direct removal (Vacuuming)/Lethal trapping/Live Trapping with disposal or
N N N N N N N N N N N N




removal.



Section 2: Pesticide
N N N




Explain how contact insecticides and stomach poisons work - ANSWER-Contact insecticides penetrate
N N N N N N N N N N N N




through the insect body covering, either applied to it directly or through residue on a service

, 2. Derived from the chrysanthemum flower, interrupts the normal transmission of insect nerve impulses
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N




3. Mimics Pyrethrin's, meaning they interfere with transmission of nerve impulses, but engineered to be
