Which of the following is NOT a type of pesticide application method?

The correct answer is C, Surface Decontamination, because this does not refer to a common method of pesticide application. Pesticide application methods typically involve specific practices designed to deliver the pesticide to the target area effectively to control pests.

Granular application involves distributing pesticide granules over soil or vegetation where pests are likely to be. This method is particularly useful for controlling soil-dwelling insects and can provide long-lasting effects.

Crack and crevice treatment is a targeted method that focuses on applying pesticides specifically in the cracks, crevices, and other hard-to-reach areas where pests may hide or enter structures, ensuring that the active ingredients directly reach the intended pests.

Residential spraying entails applying liquid pesticides to surfaces around a home, targeting common areas where pests such as ants, spiders, and mosquitoes are likely to reside or travel. This method is often used for general pest management in residential areas.

In contrast, surface decontamination usually refers to cleaning processes that do not specifically target pest control through pesticide application, which differentiates it from the other methods listed.
