1. Permanent rodent control is best achieved by:
Trapping
Poisoning.
Preventing access to food and harborage.
Introducing predators.
2. The easiest domestic rodents to trap, because they do not show new object reaction, are:
Roof rats.
House mice.
Norway rats.
Opossums.
3. Poisons, traps, and fumigants, are methods of rodent:
Prevention.
Exclusion.
Suppression.
Environmental manipulation.
4. The best form of rodent control:
Focuses on killing individual rodents.
Focuses on controlling an entire rodent population.
Focuses on controlling the alpha or queen rodent.
None of the above.
5. Which of the following is not accurate regarding a pesticide application to control rodents, when compared to sanitation and exclusion techniques:
Pesticides are sometimes less expensive.
Pestcides offer quick results.
Pesticides are easier to apply.
Pesticides offer longer-lasting control.
6. The pesticides that prevent normal clotting of mammalian blood are called:
Surfactants.
Anticoagulants.
Acute poisons.
Stomach poisons.
7. A poison gas used to kill rodents is called a:
Residual.
Synergist.
Tracking powder.
Fumigant.
8. A rodent is poisoned by a tracking dust as a result of:
Eating the dust off the floor.
Licking the dust off its feet or fur.
Tracking the dust into its food.
Absorbing the dust through its feet.
9. To increase the effectiveness of poison baits for most rodent control, one should first:
Set traps.
Exclude rodents.
Eliminate haborage.
Remove food and water.
10. Snap traps with expanded triggers are most effective:
For recovery of ectoparasites.
When placed parallel to walls or objects.
Close to a feeding area.
On runways.
11. Rodent infestations in storage areas can best be minimized by:
Stacking bulk foods in large piles with only the edges exposed.
Placing materials to be protected a minimum of 1 foot above ground level.
Providing improved haborage for rodents outdoors.
Eliminating access to storage areas.
12. For the most effective results when trapping:
Use live traps.
Move traps to new locations daily.
Place traps close to nesting sites.
Place traps at least 6 inches away from walls or other objects.
13. To minimize rodent haborage outdoors, materials such as lumber, boxes, and machinery should be:
Placed in racks with approximately 18 inches of clearance above ground.
Stacked on the ground no closer than 18 inches away from buildings or fences.
Placed on pallets.
Stacked against walls of buildings.
14. The best method for providing long-term control of rats in sewers is to:
Alternate between acute and anticoagulant poison baits.
Poison rats after finding and repairing leaks in sewer lines.
Screen rooftop vents and install flap valves in toilets.
Use pre-baited acute poison baits.
15. Anticoagulants are highly regarded as rodenticides because:
They are completely non-toxic to humans.
They kill rodents rapidly.
They can be used without baits because they are highly attractive to rodents.
