Infestation
Infestation refers to the presence of a large number of pests or unwanted organisms in a specific area, often causing harm or disruption. Common examples include insects, rodents, and weeds that invade homes, gardens, or agricultural fields. Infestations can lead to property damage, health risks, and economic losses.
Controlling infestations typically involves prevention and management strategies. This may include using pesticides, sealing entry points, and maintaining cleanliness to deter pests. In agriculture, integrated pest management (IPM) techniques are often employed to minimize the impact of infestations while protecting the environment.
