Pest Control Must be Environment Friendly

In the years to come, the entire world will confront a major threat from pests as sooner or later, every one of us will be affected by the pests. Pests are every where; from beetles or ants in the kitchen to weeds in the garden. Pest Control has become an important move as it is very essential to protect people as well as things or buildings from pests. It is one move which must not be neglected by people as the consequences might be severe. Now, the major issue is that pests perform dual function: one, that benefits the mankind, and the other that are curse to the mankind. Bacteria, animals and some insects, in some cases are beneficial to us; however, at the same time these can be pests as well.

The act of Pest Control must be performed by households as well as offices to prevent the losses that may be incurred from the pests like rats, cockroaches, ants, mice and flies. Pest management is the most beneficial and most effective to control pests. There are a few steps to do this. The most basic thing to do is the identification of pests. You must not be confused if the pest is benefitting you or is harmful to you. Then, the second step is to decide as to how much pest control is required. Moreover, it is equally important to choose between chemical and non chemical pest control.

Actually, there are three ways to go for Pest Control: Biological methods, non chemical pest control as well as chemical pest control. Chemical pesticides are a good solution to control pests. However, the idea is not to be in or around the house or the building where the pesticides are used as the affects can be adverse. There is a pitfall in this method, which is, repetitive dose of treatment. In this case, yet another thing to be considered is the selection of right pesticide. Moving ahead, another way to control pest is the biological method. In this method, the natural enemies of the pests are used to destroy them. If aphids are the pests that are causing trouble, appropriate organisms that are the best enemies for these pests can be left in the affected area. In this context, some of the bugs that are beneficial are ground beetles, spiders, snakes and ants. This method is very effective and the best. Hence, the biological method is much better than spraying chemicals that are not suitable to the environment and the mankind.
