Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
IPM is a holistic approach that focuses on pest prevention, monitoring, and control. It minimizes the use of pesticides by employing techniques such as biological control, habitat modification, and the use of pest-resistant crop varieties.
IPM considers the long-term impact on the environment and seeks to maintain ecological balance.
Eco-Friendly Pesticides
Biological control involves introducing natural predators or parasites to control pest populations. Ladybugs, nematodes, and predatory insects are examples of biological agents that help manage pests without the need for chemical pesticides.
This method is highly targeted and minimizes harm to non-target species.

Disease Transmission
Preserving natural habitats and creating conducive environments for beneficial insects and animals can enhance natural pest control. Pollinator-friendly gardens and organic farming practices promote biodiversity and overall ecosystem health.
Non-Toxic Pest Control
Organic pest control relies on natural substances and plant-based repellents to deter pests. These methods are non-toxic and do not harm beneficial insects or the environment. Organic farming practices often incorporate these pest control techniques, promoting sustainability.
Preventative Measures
Implement preventive measures to reduce the need for pest control in the first place. This includes sealing entry points, maintaining a clean-living environment, and practicing good hygiene, which can all deter pests.
