effective and will cause the least harm to people and the environment; use each method

value of a loss from the pest.


a. True


b. False - Answer✔✔-A. Even though a pest is present, it may not do very much harm. It could

cost more to control the pest than to allow the damage to occur. The point at which the cost of

the damage exceeds the cost of the control is the "economic threshold."


Successful pest control is based on the ability to:


a. Eradicate all pests


b. Use pesticides whenever pests are identified


c. Contaminate the environment


d. None of the above - Answer✔✔-D. The best answer should be to: 1) keep pest damage to a

minimum by choosing an appropriate combination of control methods, 2) recognize when direct

action is necessary, and 3) endanger the environment as little as possible

d. All of the above are possible goals - Answer✔✔-D. Prevention and suppression are common

goals. Eradication is a difficult goal to achieve, especially in outdoor areas, but may be

attempted when a foreign pest has been introduced into an area (e.g. gypsy moth,

Mediterranean fruit fly, etc.). Eradication is a more common goal in indoor areas.


The strategy of combining pest control tactics into a single plan to reduce pests and their

damage to an acceptable level is called:


a. Holistic Resource Management Plan


b. Biological Control


c. Best Management Practices


d. Integrated Pest Management - Answer✔✔-D. Biological control is a tactic of Integrated Pest

Management (IPM). IPM is one component of a holistic resource management plan and is an

example of a Best Management Practice.


When the level of a pest population reaches the stage where pest control action should be

taken, you are at the:


a. Scouting stage


b. Monitoring stage


c. Threshold stage


d. Pesticide application stage - Answer✔✔-C. Thresholds maybe based on aesthetic, health, or

economic considerations. Action thresholds have been determined for many pests.

Which of the following is NOT an example of a control tactic?


a. Pesticide resistance - the ability of a pest to resist pesticide control measures


b. Biological control - using natural predators to control pests


c. Cultural controls - such as crop rotation, date of planting, cultivation, etc.


d. Chemical control - the use of pesticides - Answer✔✔-A. Do not confuse pest resistance with

host resistance. Some plants and animals resist pests better than others


The ability of a pest to resist or avoid poisoning from a pesticide even when it has been properly

applied is called:


a. Efficacy


b. Pesticide resistance


c. Dormancy


d. Antagonism - Answer✔✔-B. Each time a pesticide is used, it selectively kills the most

susceptible pests. Some pests are able to withstand its effects. These pests may be able to pass

along this trait to their offspring. Continued use of the same pesticide may allow the resistant

offspring to multiply. This phenomenon is known as pesticide resistance.


What is pesticide labeling?


a. A sticker stating the price of the product
