label
Mosquito larvae eat bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), which is made up of the
dormant sport of the bacterium and an associated protein toxin. The toxin disrupts
the ----- in the mosquito by binding to receptor cells prsent in insects but not in
mammals. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- gut
------------ is a relatively new class of insecticides with broad application in
agriculture. Can be applied to almost any breeding site, including floodwater
habitats, storm water catch basins and artificial containers. - CORRECT ANSWER
✔✔- Spinosad
Monomolecular -------- are low-toxicity pesticides that spread a thin film of
surfactants at the water surface to decrease the surface tension. This makes it
difficult for mosquito larvae to attach to the water's surface and causes them to
drown. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- films
Larvaciding ----- also form a coating on top of the water to drown larvae and pupae
by clogging their breathing tubes. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- oils
Pyrethroids are synthetic chemical insecticides commonly used to kill ---------
mosquitoes. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- adult

domestic animals or wildlife. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- pesticide
Off-target pesticide -------- is the physical movement of pesticides at the time of
application to any non-target site. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- drift
When liquid pesticide solutions are sprayed by ground spray equipment or aircraft,
pesticide droplets are produced by the -------- of the application equipment. -
CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- nozzles
If droplets are too ------, they may stay suspended in air and may be carried by air
currents until they contact a surface or drop to the ground. - CORRECT ANSWER
✔✔- small

, Records for general-use pesticides must be kept for a period of at least ---------------
following the application. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- 1 year

form for more than ----- days in any calendar year. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔-

egg, larva, pupa, adult - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- The four distinct stages of
mosquito development
There are ----- species of mosquitoes present in Michigan - CORRECT ANSWER
✔✔- 60
Some of these species deposit their eggs on damp soil. - CORRECT ANSWER
✔✔- Aedes and Psorophora
Larvae breeding sites usually include water that is: - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔-
stationary or very slow moving
All larvae are: - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- air breathers
Culicinae (Aedes, Culex, Psorphora, etc.) except Coquillettidia hang at an --------
from the surface with the tip of their air tube inserted into the surface film. -
CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- angle
Coquillettidia obtain air by inserting their air tubes into hollow roots of aquatic
plants and - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- never need to go to the surface to breathe.
