Pests are animals, insects, or plants that damage or threaten property or crops. There are many ways to control pests. The goal is to cause as little harm as possible to people and the environment. This can be done by prevention, suppression or eradication of the pests. Prevention is the most important aspect of pest control.
Why are they called pest?
It involves keeping the house, barn, and garden clean, removing clutter that provides hiding places for pests and blocking access to food sources. It also involves using good hygiene practices such as wiping down counters, stove tops, and benches after cooking or eating and storing foods in plastic bags or in tightly sealed containers. It is important to throw away trash regularly and remove piles of rotting fruit, vegetables, or other debris that may attract pests. It is also important to keep woodpiles away from buildings and to close off places where pests can enter the home such as caulking cracks and crevices.
It is a good idea to consult with the 911 Exterminators or the Pest Control Specialist in your county for advice on proper identification of pests and their life cycles. This will help you choose the best tactics for controlling them and avoiding them in the future. Some pests can be controlled without the use of chemicals, and others may require a combination of preventive and chemical controls.
Biological pest control is the introduction of natural enemies such as parasites or predators to reduce populations of unwanted organisms. These are usually selected and introduced with care to ensure that they will succeed where they are released, causing as little disturbance as possible to native species that are not the pest.
