Destroying pests
Description
Destroying pests involves the targeted elimination or control of organisms that threaten crops, livestock, stored products, or human health. This strategy employs physical, chemical, or biological methods to reduce pest populations, thereby preventing damage, disease transmission, and economic loss. Essential actions include identifying pest species, selecting appropriate control measures, and applying interventions to disrupt pest life cycles, ensuring the protection and productivity of affected resources while minimizing harm to non-target species and environments.
