Pesticide formulations main types used in residential pest control include granules and baits. Which option correctly reflects this distinction?

• A. Liquids
• B. Granules, and baits
• C. Emulsifiable concentrates
• D. Wettable powders

Answer: (B)

Residential pest control commonly uses two main pesticide formulation types: granules and baits. Granules are dry particles that you spread around foundations, pathways, or soil to deliver the active ingredient over time. Baits combine an attractant with a toxicant and are placed where pests feed, targeting them directly. The option that lists granules, and baits directly reflects this dual-form distinction, so it’s the best fit. Other options name single forms (like liquids or powders) or list other formulations (such as emulsifiable concentrates or wettable powders) but do not capture the two-form distinction described.
