Pests and Pest Control

There are lots of pests in this world, and at some point everyone will find themselves battling a pest. Pest can invade our garden, our home, buildings, the list goes on. Pests can be insects, plants or animals. The mere mention of fleas, cockroaches, dandelions, mold, mice and rats can elicit strong emotions. Pests present a health risk to your family, pets and garden.

It is important to know how to control adequately to these parasites that invade our lives. It is almost impossible to eliminate pests, but it is essential to control these invasive pests. There are several control methods pest, which may include chemical control, biological control, mechanical methods or a combination of both.

Mechanical control pests is usually the most cost-effective if implemented before a major infestation takes place can produce the desired results. Mechanical methods are part picking (as weed pulling) and traps (eg, a mouse trap). Mechanical methods of pest control are usually the more environmentally environment.

Biological pest control includes insecticides derived from plants or other natural substances such as microorganisms.

The control chemical pest includes the use of more toxic synthetic pesticides. Chemical pest control is not environmentally friendly and is never considered an ecological approach control.

"Integrated pest management is the coordinated use of pest and environmental information with available pest control methods, including cultural, biological methods, genetic and chemical, to avoid unacceptable levels of pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible risk to people, property and the environment. "(Proceedings of the National Integrated Pest Management Forum. 1992. Agrolândia American Trust)

Integrated Management Pest emphasizes the use of complementary methods of pest control such as the introduction of natural predators. This method of pest control is much more ecological rely on chemical methods.

The first step in pest control is to identify the problem. Particularly when the plants are involved, the problem may involve poor growing conditions rather than an attack by an invasive pest. Sometimes the identification of the pest is clear, if you see a mouse running along the ground, it is clear that there is need for pest control. The next step is to identify the severity of the infestation is, or is only a mouse that has found their way into your home, or there is a family of mice who had taken rooms in your home. A mouse can easily be eradicated by a mouse trap or possibly family cat. However, if you have an infestation of mice, you may have to resort to chemical methods or be stronger in the need to recruit a professional exterminator to rid your home of pests.
