pests or to prevent/reduce the damage a pest causes. Ex. Pheromone trap, Round Up,
Integrated Pest Management IPM - ANSCombines all available necessary techniques (pesticide
and pest control devices) in a unified program with the goal of managing pest populations in a
way that avoids pest damage and minimizes adverse effects. Pesticide during vegetative growth
and net to protect fruit at maturity.
Define Pesticide Use - ANSApplication, transport, storage, mixing, cleaning of pesticide
equipment, disposal and pesticide containers.Anyone doing any of these activities is using a
pesticide. Use may also refer to where and how a pesticide can be applied
Define Site - ANSParticular entity to which a pesticide is or could be applied.Ex. on turf in
backyard.The particular plant in the garden.

pesticide container at the time of purchase.
Define Labeling - ANSThe label itself plus all other information, ex. Brochures, Regulatory
manuals, ect.
Define labeled - ANSThe use is listed on and allowed by the pesticide product label. Can also
be used to describe a labeled container.

improperly.

Termites weaken buildings.
Property damage-- Mice can gnaw away home insulation for their nest.
Food concerns-- Wild boars can dig up potatoes, Japanese beetles on soybean crops. Weeds
out compete food crops, limiting yields.
Health Risks -- Mosquitos can spread west nile, houseflies contaminate food, noxious weeds
can cause respiratory issues
Risks to environment-- Chestnut blight, gypsy moth, invasive grape/ kudzu
Reduced Aesthetics-- defoliation of trees is ugly and can reduce property value
Impaired function of things we use-- Tree roots can clog septic drains, plants can block visibility.
List the four basic survival needs which bring pests into conflict with people - ANSFood: Our
food, glue, wood, wool ect.
Water: Insects found near plumbing, tree roots in pipes
Shelter: Mice in the garage, wood ants, wasps, ect.

spiders, ticks, centipedes and milipedes have more than six legs. They can be distinguished by
their mouth parts, shape and position of their antennae, shape of thorax structures and shape of
abdomen structures. Some undergo various forms of metamorphosis
Plants: Herbaceous weeds do not produce woody tissue and topgrowth dies back each year.
These include grasses (monocot) and broadleaf plants (dicot). Grasses grow from bottom up
while broadleaf grow from the top. Can reduce crop yields and contaminate harvest seed.
Woody weeds are perennial and can spread through rhizomes.
Microorganisms : the smallest pests, fungi are the most common kind of plant disease and can
produce toxins that harm plants. Reproduce by spores. Bacteria can cause blight and legionaris
disease. Can spread by insect, infested soil, organic matter and even pruning tools. Viruses can
spread through feces, nematodes and insect mouth parts.
Describe the different mouth parts of insects - ANSChewing- Bite and tear food- beetles,
