What do you know about bugs? Would you like to test your knowledge? This quiz is centered on where booklice can be found, what is true about house mice, the structure of a mite, what type of environment roaches favor, what pesticides are dissolved in liquids called, and how long bed bugs can go without a meal.

Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Booklice can be found in books or paper stacks feeding on _____

    • A. 

      Binding glue

    • B. 

      Dried ink

    • C. 

      Fungi amd mildew

    Correct Answer
    C. Fungi amd mildew
    Explanation
    Booklice can be found in books or paper stacks feeding on fungi and mildew. Fungi and mildew can grow in damp and humid environments, which are commonly found in old books or paper stacks. Booklice are attracted to these areas because they feed on the fungi and mildew as a food source. They can cause damage to books and paper by feeding on the organic materials present in the fungi and mildew. Therefore, it is important to keep books and paper stacks in dry and well-ventilated areas to prevent the growth of fungi and mildew and the infestation of booklice.

  • 2. 

    Which is true about house mice?

    • A. 

      Only live indoors

    • B. 

      Can have litter in 50 days

    • C. 

      Sexually mature at 6 months

    Correct Answer
    B. Can have litter in 50 days
    Explanation
    House mice are known for their rapid reproduction rate. They can have a litter of baby mice in as little as 20 days after mating, and the gestation period is approximately 19-21 days. This means that they can potentially have multiple litters in a year. Therefore, it is true that house mice can have a litter in 50 days.

  • 5. 

    American roaches favor a __________ environment.

    • A. 

      Warm and moist

    • B. 

      Lukewarm

    • C. 

      Slightly cool, moist

    • D. 

      Hot and dry

    Correct Answer
    A. Warm and moist
    Explanation
    American roaches favor a warm and moist environment because these conditions provide them with the ideal conditions for survival and reproduction. Warmth allows their metabolism to function efficiently, while moisture ensures their body does not dry out, as they are susceptible to desiccation. Additionally, a warm and moist environment provides ample food sources, such as decaying organic matter, which American roaches feed on. Therefore, this combination of warmth and moisture creates a favorable habitat for American roaches to thrive.

      Solutions

    • C. 

      Formulations

    • D. 

      Mixtures

    Correct Answer
    B. Solutions
    Explanation
    Pesticides dissolved in liquids are called solutions because a solution is a homogeneous mixture where one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another substance (the solvent) at the molecular level. In this case, the pesticide is the solute and the liquid is the solvent, resulting in a pesticide solution. Concentrations refer to the amount of solute present in a given amount of solvent, formulations typically refer to the specific composition and preparation of a pesticide product, and mixtures can refer to a combination of substances that are not necessarily dissolved in each other.

    An aquifer is a natural underground layer of permeable rock, sediment, or soil that contains water and allows it to flow freely. In Florida, aquifers serve as a vital source of groundwater for springs and wells. They play a crucial role in supplying fresh water to the region and are essential for various human activities such as drinking water supply and irrigation. Therefore, aquifer is the correct answer for the given question.

    Bed bugs can go ________ without a blood meal.

    • A. 

      2-3 weeks

    • B.

    • C. 

      6 months

    • D. 

      Up to a year

    Correct Answer
    C. 6 months
    Explanation
    Bed bugs can go up to 6 months without a blood meal. This means that they have the ability to survive for a long period of time without feeding on blood. This adaptability allows them to persist in environments where a host may not be readily available. It also makes them difficult to eliminate as they can hide and remain dormant for extended periods, making it challenging to completely eradicate an infestation.

    Synthetic pheromones are used for __________ adult insect populations.

    • A. 

      Control

    • B. 

      Monitoring

    • C. 

      Suppression

    Correct Answer
    B. Monitoring
    Explanation
    Synthetic pheromones are used for monitoring adult insect populations. Pheromones are chemical substances released by insects to communicate with each other. By using synthetic pheromones, scientists and pest control professionals can attract and trap insects, allowing them to monitor the population size and behavior of specific insect species. This information is valuable for studying insect dynamics, understanding their habits, and developing effective pest management strategies. Synthetic pheromones are not used for controlling or suppressing insect populations, but rather for gathering data and conducting research.

    • D. 

      Certified operators

    Correct Answer
    C. Sales people that do not carry pesticides & pesticides equipment
    Explanation
    Temporary signs on pest control vehicles are allowed for sales people who do not carry pesticides and pesticide equipment. This means that sales people who are involved in selling pest control services but do not directly handle or carry pesticides are permitted to have temporary signs on their vehicles. This distinction ensures that only those who are directly involved in the application of pesticides are restricted from displaying signs on their vehicles.

    Tracking powders for rodent control is typically applied.

    • A. 

      Drop ceilings

    • B. 

      Wall voids

    • C. 

      At burrows entrances

    Correct Answer
    B. Wall voids
    Explanation
    Tracking powders for rodent control are typically applied in wall voids. This is because wall voids provide a hidden and enclosed space where rodents often travel and nest. By applying the tracking powder in these areas, it increases the likelihood of rodents coming into contact with the powder, which can then be ingested or carried back to their nests, effectively controlling the rodent population. Applying the powder in drop ceilings or at burrow entrances may not be as effective as rodents may not come into direct contact with the powder in these locations.
