Absorption - CORRECT ANSWER: Movement of chemical into a plant, animal, or

Aerosol and Fog Generators - CORRECT ANSWER: Break liquid pesticides into aerosol
droplets through either mechanical means (cold fogging) or heat (thermal fogging).
American Cockroach - CORRECT ANSWER: largest insect pest in Colorado; commonly
found in warm moist habitats like city sewer lines
Animal Kingdom - CORRECT ANSWER: All insects are part of the largest group in the

never show two stripes like German; like warm areas of multi-family dwellings and
offices; highest populations in kitchens and bedrooms
Brown Recluse Spider - CORRECT ANSWER: Only spider with 3 pairs of eyes instead
