They comprise the largest group of animals in the world. However, the importance of this group of animals is not necessarily due to its size, but the diversity that exists among the many species. Because of this great diversity in structure and function, representatives of the arthropod world have been able to live in almost any environment found in the world and have been able to utilize a variety of items as sources of food. Unfortunately, some of these sources of food are often ornamental and food crops, livestock, pets, homes, and even humans. The potential problems are further complicated when we consider that arthropods may be carriers of diseases and may, themselves, be noxious due to irritating substances they produce or the venom they inject. The purpose of this subcourse is to instruct you in preventive and remedial control measures that you may employ to avoid, reduce, or eliminate the harmful effects of arthropods. Subcourse Components: This subcourse consists of three lessons and an examination. The lessons are: Lesson 1, Introduction to Arthropod Control. Lesson 2, Pesticide Application Techniques. Lesson 3, Pest Control Equipment.
