StarStarStarStar

Habitat Manipulation

StarStarStarStar

Changes the immediate ecosystem to discourage or eliminate pests, used for insects, weeds, and some vertebrate pests.

StarStarStarStar

Botanical Control

StarStarStarStar

Employs plant-based compounds with pest control properties to manage pests, often used against insects and fungi.

StarStarStarStar

Trapping

StarStarStarStar

Catches or kills pests using various types of traps, commonly used against rodents, insects, and certain large mammals.

StarStarStarStar

Cultural Control

StarStarStarStar

Involves altering the environment or farming practices to make conditions less favorable for pests, used against weeds, insects, and diseases.

StarStarStarStar

Electronic Pest Control

StarStarStarStar

Utilizes electronic devices to repel, attract, or kill pests, typically targeting insects and rodents.

StarStarStarStar

Chemical Control

StarStarStarStar

Uses synthetic chemicals to target and eliminate pests, controlling a wide range of insects, rodents, weeds, and fungi.

StarStarStarStar

Repellents

StarStarStarStar

Substances that deter pests from entering an area or from damaging plants, typically against insects, birds, and mammals.

StarStarStarStar

Sterilization

StarStarStarStar

Involves sterilizing individual pests or the environment to prevent reproduction, used against insects and microbial pathogens.

StarStarStarStar

Regulatory Control

StarStarStarStar

Implemented by governments through quarantine and legislation to prevent the spread of pests, effective against invasive species and agricultural pests.

StarStarStarStar

Natural Predators

StarStarStarStar

Introduces or encourages organisms that naturally prey on pest species, effectively managing certain insect and rodent populations.

StarStarStarStar

Biological Control

StarStarStarStar

Introduces predators, parasites, or pathogens to control pest populations naturally, often used against insects and plant diseases.

StarStarStarStar

Pheromone Control

StarStarStarStar

Uses synthetic versions of natural chemical signals to disrupt the mating patterns of pests, primarily used against moths and beetles.

StarStarStarStar

Physical Control

StarStarStarStar

Employs temperature extremes, humidity, and other physical forces to deter or kill pests, including insects, mites, and pathogens.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Amendment

StarStarStarStar

Adding organic or inorganic materials to the soil to improve plant health and reduce pest problems, used for nutrient management and disease suppression.

StarStarStarStar

Mechanical Control

StarStarStarStar

Utilizes equipment and physical methods to remove or exclude pests, often targeting insects, rodents, birds, and weeds.

StarStarStarStar

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

StarStarStarStar

Combines multiple pest control strategies to reduce reliance on pesticides and minimize environmental impact, effective against a wide spectrum of pests.

StarStarStarStar

Allelopathy

StarStarStarStar

Uses plants that naturally produce chemicals inhibiting other plant species, primarily for weed control.

StarStarStarStar

Sanitation

StarStarStarStar

Involves maintaining clean environments to reduce food, shelter, and breeding sites for pests, targeting urban pests like roaches and rats.

StarStarStarStar

Exclusion

StarStarStarStar

Prevents pest access to particular areas or plants using physical barriers, commonly employed against insects, birds, and mammals.

StarStarStarStar

Genetic Control

StarStarStarStar

Involves manipulating the genetic makeup of pests or crops to manage pests, used against crop pests and vectors of human diseases.
