Pest control is a way of managing the presence of animals, plants and other organisms that harm people, property or the environment. It includes methods like exclusion, repellents, traps and poisons. It also includes altering the environment and introducing predators and parasites.

911 Exterminators Prevention is the most desirable form of pest control. For example, keeping garbage in containers with tight lids prevents rodents and flies from getting into the house. Clutter also provides hiding places for these pests, so removing it can help reduce their numbers. Garbage should be disposed of frequently, at least once per day. Overripe or rotting food attracts flies, ants and cockroaches.
Regular scouting (as described above) helps identify pest problems and their severity before an attempt at control measures is made. If the damage is severe, it may be necessary to intervene. Otherwise, natural enemies and other conditions may be enough to keep populations below damaging levels.
Pesticides are often effective in controlling pests when other measures fail. They can be very harmful, however, when misused or applied improperly. Selecting the most appropriate type of chemical for the pest is essential. It is also important to follow label instructions and safety warnings.
Physical or mechanical controls, such as traps, barriers, nets, fences and radiation sometimes are sufficient to control pests. Changes in the environment, such as temperature, lighting, water or food sources, can help to control some pests as well. This method of pest control is called biological or biorational.
