You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Which agency is responsible for protecting the US borders from invasive pests and diseases

Introduction

There are several ways that you can help protect the United States from invasive pests and diseases. You can consult with your local officials to learn what steps you can take on your own, or you may also want to consult with experts in this field.

When a dangerous hitch-hiker is found, what needs to be done?

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is responsible for protecting the US borders from invasive pests and diseases that can be spread by animals, plants, or products made from them. When a dangerous hitch-hiker is found on your property, APHIS will contact you to determine whether or not it poses a threat to public health and safety. If so, they’ll work with local officials to ensure that your property has been cleared of any infestation before further action is taken.

What is an invasive pest?

An invasive pest is an animal or plant that can cause damage to the environment, human health and/or economy. They are a problem because they outcompete native species for resources and habitat.

Invasive pests can spread disease between humans and animals, which can pose a serious threat to public health if not identified early enough. This is why it’s important to identify invasive pests before they get into your country!

What kinds of containers can have pests in them?

• Containers of any kind that have been left unattended for a long time.

• Food containers, including cans, bottles and packages in which food is packaged or stored.

• Cargo containers such as ships’ holds and railroad cars (including intermodal containers) that are not used for carrying passengers or freight but are still considered cargo by most countries; this includes railcars and trucks when they were transported overseas prior to being transferred into the U.S.. This also includes airplanes on which passengers were originally transported overseas before being returned to their original country of origin after completing their journey at an intermediate point between two countries

Does what you pack matter?

• Make sure you clean your luggage before packing.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to clean out your luggage. Be careful about what you pack in your luggage, and use plastic bags to store items that will be difficult to remove once the bag is full (such as medication).

• Wash your hands after handling luggage, especially if it has been contaminated with insects or dirt.

What parts of the globe attract invasive pests?

There are many reasons why invasive pests and diseases are attracted to certain regions of the globe.

• Tropical and subtropical areas: In these regions, there are wide varieties of climate factors that attract invasive species. These include wet conditions with abundant rainfall and humidity, high temperatures, low levels of sunlight and uneven terrain such as mountains or hills.

• Human travel: As humans travel worldwide in search of food (whether it be for survival or leisure), they bring their homes along with them and these homes become a source for new pests to enter into their new locations. For example, if you’re living in an area where invasive plants have been introduced by humans due to agriculture practices such as planting them near roadsides or on top landings along riverside edges rather than using traditional methods like tilling ground soil before planting seeds/plants outwards from inside houses’ walls towards open fields where sunlight reaches freely throughout entire day without any obstructions whatsoever!

What’s with the fruit fly?

Fruit flies are a major problem because they travel easily and can be in any box of fruit. They also like fruit trees, so if you have a garden and don’t keep your bags closed, you will probably find them on your plants.

Fruit juice is another common carrier of fruit fly eggs and larvae. It’s easy for them to get into bottles or cans because there’s no seal around the neck of the bottle or can.

Fruit juices that do have seals like milk are less likely to contain these pests than water does since milk doesn’t flow as freely through utensils as water does (and neither does juice).

Why are invasive species so difficult to eliminate?

The problem is global, complex, costly and political. In short, it’s almost impossible to eliminate the threat of invasive species on your own.

The United States has been dealing with this for years now and it’s still not easy! There are many reasons why certain species become invasive:

• They can spread quickly even if they’re not entirely new to a given region’s ecosystem (like Asian carp).

• They’re hardy enough to survive in harsh environments such as deserts or cold places where there is little food available for them (like goldenrod).

Is there anything I can do to help combat invasive pests and diseases?

• Be careful when you travel.

• Keep your yard clean and free of debris.

• Don’t move firewood, or bring it into the country. If you live in a rural area where non-native plants are being planted by officials, do not move firewood from one plot to another without contacting an expert who can properly identify what species you’re moving because this could spread invasive pests and diseases across entire landscapes!

• Don’t release pets into the wild they may carry invasive insects or diseases with them as they travel around their new habitat (which could lead to an outbreak). Also keep in mind that wildlife often acts as vectors for these pathogens; therefore any contact with them should be avoided at all costs!
