Pest Control

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest, often because it is perceived to be detrimental to a person’s health, economy, or environment. The challenges of pest control typically include effective extermination strategies, prevention techniques, and ongoing management to maintain pest-free spaces.

Common Types of Pests

• Insects (Ants, Bed Bugs, Cockroaches)
• Rodents (Mice, Rats)
• Wildlife (Raccoons, Squirrels)

Pest Control Methods

Chemical Control

Chemical pesticides are widely used in pest control, but their application must be done responsibly to avoid health risks to humans, pets, and the environment.

Biological Control

This method utilizes natural predators or pathogens to control pest populations. Examples include using ladybugs to control aphid infestations.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

This holistic approach combines various pest control strategies, focusing on long-term prevention and minimizing risks to people and the environment.
