Types of Pest Management Methods

There are various methods of Pest Management, and these methods of control can be categorized as

• Chemical

In this method chemicals such as pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides can be used to eliminate pests from the property. These chemicals act as nerve toxins or growth regulators/ inhibitors for insects and mammals.

• Biological

Biological methods involve the use of a pest’s natural enemies to control pest abundance. These natural enemies can be anything from predators, pathogens, parasites, and parasitoids.

• Cultural

Intercropping is one of the methods of Cultural Pest Management and it stands for multiple crops in the same field. This method makes it more difficult for pests to find a host plant. Planting trap crops is also one method that keeps pests away from harvest crops.

• Physical or mechanical

Installing physical barriers, blocking entry points, installing pest traps, using sticky cards for insects, manual removal of insects from plants, removing diseased or infected materials are some common Physical or mechanical ways of Pest Management.
