Pest Management Strategies

Pest management strategies involve controlling or reducing pests—such as insects, rodents, or weeds—in a way that minimizes damage and health risks. These strategies include monitoring pest populations, using physical barriers or traps, applying targeted methods like pesticides responsibly, introducing natural predators, and practicing habitat modification to make environments less attractive to pests. The goal is to select the most effective, environmentally responsible approach that balances pest control with safety for people and non-target organisms. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) emphasizes combining these methods for sustainable, long-term pest control solutions.
