What does the term 'Mode of Action' refer to in pest control?

  1. The specific site where a chemical is applied

  2. The type of equipment used for applying chemicals

  3. The way a chemical kills or stops the growth of pests

  4. The time duration for which a chemical remains effective

The correct answer is: The way a chemical kills or stops the growth of pests

The term 'Mode of Action' refers to the specific way in which a chemical acts on pests to kill them or inhibit their growth. Option A is incorrect because it only refers to the location of application, not the process itself. Option B is incorrect because it only refers to the equipment used, not the actual action of the chemical. Option D is incorrect because it only refers to the duration of effectiveness, not the method of action. Thus, C is the most accurate answer as it encompasses the meaning of 'Mode of Action' in the context of pest control.
