- A.
Binding glue
- B.

- C.
Fungi amd mildew
Correct Answer
C. Fungi amd mildewExplanation
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.Rate this question:

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.Rate this question:

Synthetic pheromones are used for __________ adult insect populations.
- A.
Control
- B.
Monitoring
- C.
Suppression
Correct Answer
B. MonitoringExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Tracking powders for rodent control is typically applied.
- A.
Drop ceilings
- B.
Wall voids
- C.
At burrows entrances
Correct Answer
B. Wall voidsExplanation
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.Rate this question:
