Poison spray

Spraying poisons by planes, hand held units, or wagons that carry the spraying kit, is a common technique of bug control. All though the US of America, cities frequently drive a city owned wagon around a couple of times a week to each street, spraying for mosquitoes. Crop dusters usually fly over farmland and spray poison to kill off pest that would threaten the crops. Many find spraying poison around their yard, houses, or companies, much more fascinating than permitting insects to flourish there.

Biological pest management

Biological bug elimination is the control over one species through the control and management of natural predators and bugs. For example : mosquitoes are sometimes controlled by putting Bt Germ thuringiensis ssp. Israelensis, a bacterium that infects and kills mosquito larvae, in local water sources. The treatment has no known negative consequences on the remaining ecology and is safe for humans to drink. The point of biological bug control, or any natural pest management, is to get rid of a pest with nominal harm to the ecological balance of the environment in its present form.

Hunting

Traditionally, in some Western european states, when stray cats and dogs became too common local populations gathered together to round up all animals that didn’t have an owner and kill them. In some countries, groups of rat catchers work at chasing rats from the field, and murdering them with dogs and simple hand tools. Some communities have during the past employed a bounty system, where a city clerk will pay a set charge for each rat head brought in as confirmation of a rat slaughtering.

Elimination of breeding areas

Correct waste control and drainage of still water, eradicates the breeding area of many pests. Rubbish provides food and shelter for many unwished-for organisms along with an area where still water might collect and be used as a breeding area by mosquitoes. Communities that have correct rubbish collection and disposal, have much less of an issue with rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies and other pests than the ones that do not. Open air sewers are adequate breeding area for varied pests also. By creating and enhancing a correct sewer system, that problem is eliminated.

Field burning

Historically, after a sugar cane crop, the fields are all burned, to kill off any insects or eggs that could be in the fields.

Poisoned bait

Poisoned bait is a common strategy for controlling rat populations is not as effective when there are other food sources around ,eg rubbish. Poisoned meat have been employed for hundreds of years for murdering off wolves, birds that were seen to threaten crops, and against other creatures.

Traps

Traps have been employed for murdering off mice found in homes, for murdering wolves, and for capturing raccoons and stray dogs and cats for disposal by city officers.
