Introduction
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.
Challenges
Pest control often involves toxic chemicals disruptive to the ecology as well as human health.
Approaches
- Diatomaceous earth (Wikipedia) can be used in place of many chemical insecticides for topical applications.
