Pest control involves managing and eliminating pests such as insects, rodents, and other unwanted creatures from homes, businesses, and agricultural areas. Effective pest control requires understanding the pests you're dealing with and choosing appropriate methods to manage them.

Common Pest Control Methods
Chemical Pest Control: Using pesticides to kill or repel pests. It's effective but can have environmental and health impacts.
Biological Pest Control: Utilizing natural predators or parasites to control pest populations. This method is environmentally friendly but may take longer to see results.
Mechanical Pest Control: Physical methods such as traps, barriers, and manual removal. It's immediate and effective for small infestations.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Combining multiple methods for a comprehensive approach. IPM emphasizes prevention, monitoring, and minimizing pesticide use.
