Importance of Chemical Pest Control and Methods -HiCare

Pest Droppings, Pungent odour, Evidence of Nesting, Damaged Plants, Grease marks, Physical Damage to Furnishings, Swollen walls and Damage to Fabrics – All these signifiers point to one single direction- the presence of menace causing pests that have a detrimental effect on human life.

When we talk about the harmful effects of pests on human life, we emphasize the pest-borne diseases that are transmitted by the crawling creatures that invade your homes and commercial spaces.

4 Pests and What Diseases They Carry

1. Mosquitoes: Dengue, Malaria, Yellow Fever
2. Cockroaches: Asthma, Food poisoning, Typhoid
3. Rats: Plague, Salmonella, Hantavirus
4. Termites: Allergic Reactions

The pest problems have been prevalent since forever and there have been multiple attempts to eradicate this issue. If you end up researching pest control online, will conclude that a lot of different pest control methods have been studied, developed and employed over the years to reduce the degradation of the quality of life caused by the presence of pests.

There are broadly two ways in which pest control can be done:-

1. Biological Pest Control
2. Chemical Pest Control

1) Biological Pest Control

Biological pest control refers to the practice of using living organisms to control pests. A natural enemy such as a parasite, predator, or disease organism is introduced into the environment of a pest thereby reducing the number of pest organisms in the space.

2) Chemical Pest Control

Pest control chemicals are a component of pest management systems, which incorporate new substances that are designed to be highly effective against the pests, to be used at reduced rates, to be selective in their activity, and to have zero to little adverse environmental effects.

History of Chemical Pest Control

Chemical Pest Control is a widely popular method used since the beginning of civilisation. It is a known fact that Sumerians used to use Sulfur as a repellent to keep away insects in their time. As time progressed, the substances used for chemical pest control evolved.

More progress was made in the realm of chemical pest control during the industrial revolution. As a result of population density increasing in urban areas, people not having enough time to meticulously take care of the homes and commercial buildings, and lack of knowledge on the pests, the pest population in the world increased. And so did the need to come up with more effective and less time-consuming methods. Hence, more efforts were taken to study and understand pests and pest control chemicals that could be used.

Reliability of Chemical Pest Control

The chemicals that have been used for the past decades, although are meant to eradicate pests, do have the potential to cause harm to humans and their pets. More and more research is being pursued to make them less harmful to human health and the environment. Chemical Pest Control methods and chemicals have been improving to become more effective and speedy.
