Pest control methods are strategies used to manage and eliminate unwanted insects and animals that can harm crops, property, or health. Common methods include chemical pesticides, which are synthetic substances designed to kill pests, and biological control, which involves using natural predators or parasites to reduce pest populations. Another approach is cultural control, which focuses on changing farming practices to make the environment less hospitable to pests. This can include crop rotation and proper sanitation. Additionally, physical barriers like nets or traps can prevent pests from accessing plants or structures, providing a more hands-on solution.
