species control methods

Species control methods are strategies used to manage or reduce populations of certain plants or animals to protect ecosystems, agriculture, or human health. These methods include physical removal (such as trapping or hunting), chemical treatments (using pesticides or herbicides), biological controls (introducing natural predators or competitors), and mechanical means (like mowing or fencing). The choice depends on the species, environment, and goals. Effective control minimizes environmental impact and balances the ecosystem while preventing damage caused by invasive or overpopulated species.
