Generally, man detests insects, yet their existence has a specific purpose. A huge majority, if not all, of our everyday insects have ecological and economic benefits such as in the furtherance of science through biological studies. They also partake in the biological foundation and ecosystem as they cycle nutrients, pollinate plants, spread seeds, control the population of other living organisms and also serve as a major source in the food chain.
An insect becomes a PEST when it starts competing with man for survival and engages in the spread of different illnesses and diseases thereby becoming not only a nuisance but a threat that endangers human lives. Pests have the capacity to reproduce exponentially, thus control measures must be employed to stop propagation and prevent the possibility of destruction to properties. The infestation and invasion of pests bring terror to homeowners, and the common aggressive response is by using over-the-counter spray chemicals with hopes that it would render promising results. People often think that these DIY remedies and insecticide sprays would take care of the problem but most often they only resolve surface infestation and deal with one pest at a time. The challenge however lies in the extermination of the undesirable ones and segregating them with those that prove to be beneficial. This is where the expertise of a pest management professional becomes crucial.
In pest management, various methods are being utilized without heavily relying on the use of pesticides. We call this approach the Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Like a doctor that meticulously diagnoses a patient, the pest management specialist must be able to first assess the condition, identify the root cause of the problem, evaluate its extent and severity, and recommend appropriate medication and treatment. Integrated Pest Management is a long term journey of prevention of pests through the management of their ecosystem. Influencing and modifying the environment of specific pests to make it harder for them to thrive. It is not a basic three-step cookie-cutter process, rather, it uses information gathered and observed from the pests’ behaviours as well as the specific condition of an environment meaning every solution will differ from person to person depending on the circumstances.
