What are some approaches to pest control?

Answer 1

There are several techniques or approaches to pest control. However, the most effective way at pest control is through what is called Integrated Pest Management.

In short, this method uses monitoring to determine what levels are acceptable given the situation. For example, one mouse in a grocery store may be acceptable however, one mouse in the surgical room of a hospital is not. Given these findings, the least harmful method to the environment, property, and economically is used to achieve the maximum results.

Studies have found IPM to be the most effective approach at dealing with unwanted pests.
