Pesticides dissolved in liquids are called __________
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.

Synthetic pheromones are used for __________ adult insect populations.
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.

Tracking powders for rodent control is typically applied.
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.
