Systemic Pesticides are absorbed through leaves and then transported through the rest of the plant.
Contact Pesticides are not absorbed by treated plants or animals; they stay on the surface and protect the animals when the pests come in contact with them (like a flea collar for a dog).
Persistence how long a pesticide will stay active to control pests.
Residual pesticides can control pests for weeks, months, or years.
Regulatory pest control When local or individual pest control is not enough, government agencies step in to help prevent the spread of pests and diseases.
Quarantine one form of regulatory control by not allowing pests to move out of a certain area.
Eradication another form of regulatory control that totally eliminates the pest from a certain area.
