    5. Which of the following household pest lays an egg capsule called "ootheca"?

    • A. rats & mice

    • B. cockroaches

    • C. termites

    • D. none of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. B. cockroaches
    Explanation
    Cockroaches lay an egg capsule called "ootheca". This capsule contains multiple eggs and is usually dropped or glued to a surface, providing protection and nourishment for the developing eggs. The ootheca acts as a protective covering, preventing the eggs from desiccation and predators. Cockroaches are known for their rapid reproduction, and the presence of ootheca is a sign of a potential infestation.

    8. On termite baiting systems, what do you call the implements used and installed around and within a given property?

    • A. above ground & inground interceptors

    • D. none of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A. above ground & inground interceptors
    Explanation
    Termite baiting systems typically use above ground and inground interceptors. These are implements that are installed both around and within a property to intercept and trap termites. Above ground interceptors are placed on top of the ground, while inground interceptors are buried in the soil. These interceptors are designed to attract termites and prevent them from reaching the property, effectively controlling termite infestations.

    • A. claustrohobic

    • B. neophobic

    • C. acrophobic

    • D. pyrophobic

    Correct Answer
    A. B. neophobic
    Explanation
    Neophobia refers to the fear or aversion towards new or unfamiliar things. In this context, the fear of rats on things new to someone is an example of neophobia. This suggests that the person has a fear or aversion towards rats when they encounter them on objects or situations that they are not familiar with. Claustrophobia is the fear of confined spaces, acrophobia is the fear of heights, and pyrophobia is the fear of fire, none of which are directly related to the fear of rats on new things.

    10. Causes pellet like droppings and is considered a nuisance pest

    • A. drywood termites

    • B. dampwood termites

    • C. subterranean termites

    • D. worms

    Correct Answer
    A. A. drywood termites
    Explanation
    Drywood termites cause pellet-like droppings and are considered a nuisance pest. These termites infest dry wood and create small, hard fecal pellets that they push out of their tunnels. These pellets can accumulate over time and indicate an active infestation. Unlike dampwood and subterranean termites, drywood termites do not require contact with soil or water sources to survive. They can cause significant damage to wooden structures and furniture if left untreated.

    8. Also called Roof Rats

    • A. ratus norvegicus

    • B. mus musculus

    • C. ratus ratus

    • D. none of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. C. ratus ratus
    Explanation
    The correct answer is c. ratus ratus because "Also called Roof Rats" is a clue that helps us identify the correct species. Roof Rats, also known as black rats or ship rats, belong to the species Rattus rattus. The other options, ratus norvegicus and mus musculus, refer to different species of rats and mice, respectively, and are not the correct answer in this case.

These mounds can reach heights of several meters and are made from a mixture of soil, saliva, and termite excrement. The mounds serve as a complex system of ventilation and temperature regulation for the termite colony.
