3. Biological Control
4. Chemical Control
6. ResourceManagement/Environment Manipulation
Answer: Management of food, water, and shelter availability, and habitat modification to
minimize or eliminate pest is usually one of the most effective methods for controlling
pests.
7. Prevention/Mechanical Barriers
Answer: Barriers such asscreens, netting,andprotective clothing all are mechanical means

treatment

20. Complete Metamorphosis
Answer: Insect development consisting of four stages
egg, larva, pupa, and adult
