| Making use of plant varieties that are naturally resistant to insect feeding is an example of which type of pest management method? | Genetic |
| True or false: Modifying the environment to enhance natural enemies is recommended in biological control. | True |
| Sealing cracks and crevices and small openings in buildings is an example of which type of pest management method? | Physical |
| Is this a true statement about cultural control practices: They reduce pest establishment, reproduction, and survival? | Yes |
| Monitoring pests at airports and ocean ports that pose a serious threat to public health or widespread damage to crops or animals is an example of which type of pest management method? | Regulatory |
| The goal of pest management strategies in IPM is to ___ pests from reaching damaging levels. | Prevent |
| True or false: Planting weed- and disease-free seed on an athletic field is not considered a preventative pest management strategy. | False |
| Can the action threshold for a pest be set at a zero pest population density? | Yes |
| True or false: Continual use of pesticides from the same chemical class won’t cause pesticide resistance. | False |
| A ____ is an undesirable organism that injures humans, desirable plants and animals, manufactured products, or natural substances. | Pest |
| IPM stands for: | Integrated Pest Management |
| Integrated Pest Management is a balanced, tactical approach to pest ____. It defines ways to anticipate pest outbreaks and prevent pest damage. | Control |
| IPM uses a wide range of pest control methods or tactics such as ____ and exclusion. | Sanitation |
| The goal of IPM is to prevent pests from reaching damaging levels with the ____ risk to the environment. Such pest management programs enable the specialist to make intelligent, site-specific decisions about control. | Least |
| IPM pest control methods are cultural, biological, mechanical, and _____. | Chemical |
| Undesirable plants or ____ are one of the 4 main groups of pests. | Weeds |
| One of the groups of pests is ____, like insects, spiders, and snails. | Invertebrates |
| True or false: An example of a pathogen/disease agent pest is fungi. | True |
| One of the 4 main groups of pests is _____, like mammals, fish, and birds. | Vertebrates |
| It’s important to ___ the pest before trying to control it because misidentification and lack of accurate information could cause pest control failure. | Identify |
| True or false: IPM should be practiced because it helps to keep a balanced ecosystem. | True |
| IPM should be practiced because _____ can be ineffective. | Pesticides |
| Can practicing IPM save money? | Yes |
| IPM promotes a _____ environment. | Healthy |
| Does practicing IPM give a bad public image? | No |
| True or false: using one or more control options can improve pest control by increasing the likelihood of successful pest management, and adding nonchemical methods may be more permanent. | True |
| How can selective pesticides affect chemical controls? | They can have a great effect on some species and not on others |
| How can pesticide persistence affect chemical controls? | Persistence of chemical pesticides changes with each application. Some can last for years while others are just short term. |
| To justify the ____ of control, the pest population must reach the economic threshold (ET). When ET is reached, steps must be taken to ensure pests don't reach the economic injury level (EIL). | Cost |
| Prevention is planning ahead to stop pest infestations _____ they happen, like applying pesticides before an infestation happens. | Before |
| Suppression is reducing the populations of pests ___ they have infested an area. | After |
| True or false: Pesticide applications could fail because of Misidentification of the pest. | True |
| Misdosage of amount/type of _____ can lead to a failed application. | Pesticide |
| True or false: Poor application timing has a low chance of pesticide application failure. | False |
| Can the use of incorrect applicator equipment lead to pesticide application failure? | Yes |
| Environmental conditions like heavy rain can lead to ____ failure. | Pesticide |
| Pesticide degradation when stored can change into a form that is ____, which can cause pesticide failure. | Ineffective |
| How a pesticide ___ a pest is referred to as its mode of action. | Kills |
| Using new compounds with different modes of ____ can reduce the likelihood of the pest developing resistance. | Action |
| Minimize the development of pesticide resistance by changing pesticide use patterns. | Development |
| An increase in the concentration of a chemical in a biological organism over time, compared to the chemical's concentration in the environment: | Bioaccumulation |
| The concentration of toxins in an organism as a result of its ingesting other plants or animals in which the toxins are more widely disbursed: | Biomagnification |
| Any material that is applied to plants, soil, water, furnishings, or animals to kill, attract, repel, or regulate or interrupt the growth and mating of pests, or to regulate plant growth: | Pesticide |

| Biological Control is the use of natural enemies - predators, parasites, pathogens, and competitors - to control pests and their _____. | Damage |
| True or false: Systemic pesticides are pesticides that are absorbed and translocated within a plant or animal. | True |
| Pesticides that can control pests for a longer amount of time are called ____. | Residual pesticides |
| ______ pesticides are pesticides that aren’t absorbed by treated plants or animals but must directly touch the pest or a site the pest frequents to be effective. | Contact |
| The specific biological system affected within the pest is the _______. | Site of action |
| Quarantining is a pest control process designed to ____ the entry of certain pests into pest-free areas. | Prevent |
| Eradication is the elimination of a ___ from a designated area. | Pest |
