Pest control refers to the management and regulation of unwanted organisms, commonly known as pests, that can harm human health, property, or the environment. This includes insects, rodents, and other animals that may invade homes, gardens, or agricultural areas. Effective pest control methods can involve prevention, monitoring, and various treatment options to reduce or eliminate pest populations. There are several approaches to pest control, including chemical treatments, biological control, and cultural practices. Chemical treatments often use pesticides, while biological control involves introducing natural predators to manage pest populations. Cultural practices focus on improving sanitation and habitat management to deter pests from thriving.
