Pest Control
Pest control, an essential practice in environmental management, refers to the regulation or management of species classified as pests. These species, often detrimental to human health, the environment, or economic interests, include various insects, rodents, and other organisms. Methods employed in pest control encompass chemical, biological, and physical strategies to prevent, reduce, or eliminate pests. Chemical methods involve pesticides; biological techniques utilize natural predators or pathogens; physical tactics include traps and barriers. Professionals in this field, such as entomologists and exterminators, apply integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to ensure effective, minimal-risk solutions tailored to specific infestations and settings.
