Chemical treatments involve the use of pesticides to kill or repel pests. These can be applied as sprays, baits, or dusts. While effective, pesticides can be toxic to humans and pets if ingested or inhaled. They can also harm beneficial insects and other non-target organisms.
Biological control involves the use of natural enemies of pests, such as predators or parasites, to control their populations. This can be a more environmentally friendly option than chemical treatments, but it may take longer to see results.
Traps can be used to capture and kill pests, such as mice or rats. However, they may not be effective against large infestations and can be inhumane if not used correctly.
Heat treatment involves using high temperatures to kill pests, such as bed bugs or termites. While effective, it can be expensive and may require the evacuation of the treated area.
Fumigation involves the use of gases to kill pests, such as insects or rodents, in an enclosed space. While effective, it can be dangerous to humans and pets if not done correctly.
