What is pest control?

Pest control refers to the management or regulation of animals or species which cause damage to human health, ecology or economy. The term pest is as old as the term agriculture this is because there has always been a need to protect crops from pests. There are many techniques such as: crop rotation mixed cropping, selective breeding which is being used to keep crops pest resistant.

Pests have become problems because of the direct actions of humans. There is a need to modify such action so as to reduce the pest problem. We can adopt certain methods in order to eliminate pest with minimal harm to our ecological balance of environment. These are:

Elimination of breeding grounds can be done by proper waste management and drainage of still water techniques.

Garbage is a place of unwanted organisms where still water gets collected and thus used as breeding ground by mosquitoes. However there many communities which are responsible for garbage collection and disposal.

There is a big issue of open air sewers which again is an ample breeding ground for many pests. This problem can be eliminated by maintaining proper sewer systems.

Using poisoned bait is a common method to control population of pests.
