Using some common known pest control tactics into a single plan (strategy) to reduce pests and their damage to an acceptable level are said as Pest Control Management. Relying only on pesticides for pest control can cause pests to develop resistance to pesticides, can cause outbreaks of other pests, and can harm surfaces or non-target organisms.
To solve pest problems, one must:
- Identify the pest type to determine whether to suppress or exterminate.
- Be aware of available control tactics; with their benefits and risks.
- choose the one that most suits you, with least harming the people and the environment surrounding.
- Take into consideration local, State and Federal laws that apply.
