Alternative Pest Control

Alternative pest control is defined as the management of unwanted pests. Pest control is usually required if a person’s health will be affected by the species or if the pests will be destructive towards the economy. Several species have become an issue because of the direct effect on humans. Having alternative pest control may help reduce the negative effects of unwanted pests.

Some methods of alternative pest control include trash bins with locking lids. Raccoons and other large animals will not be able to get into trash bins and tear open plastic bags if the trash bin is securely locked. Another method of alternative pest control may be to not feed birds with scraps at a public location. Birds, such as seagulls, will become dependent on this food source and cause them to act violently towards humans. Proper waste management and the drainage of still water may also reduce the breeding of pests.
