Pest control is the regulation or management of a species
defined as a pest, a member of the animal kingdom that impacts adversely on
human activities. The human response depends on the importance of the damage
done, and will range from tolerance, through deterrence and management, to
attempts to completely eradicate the pest. Pest control measures may be
performed as part of an integrated pest management strategy.
In agriculture, pests are kept at bay by cultural, chemical
and biological means. Plowing and cultivation of the soil before sowing
reduces the pest burden and there is a modern trend to limit the use of
pesticides as far as possible. This can be achieved by monitoring the crop,
only applying insecticides when necessary, and by growing varieties and crops
which are resistant to pests. Where possible, biological means are used,
encouraging the natural enemies of the pests and introducing suitable predators
or parasites.
In homes and urban environments, the pests are the rodents, birds,
insects and other organisms that share the habitat with humans, and that feed
on and spoil possessions. Control of these pests is attempted through
exclusion, repulsion, physical removal or chemical means. Alternatively,
various methods of biological control can be used including sterilization
programs.
