There is an insect that we classify as pest. Why they protect is because a whole swarm of pest can clear a field of crops larger than a football field.

==

Since crop pests are classified as anything which can do damage to a crop, including weeds, insects, bacteria, fungi, mites, birds, rodents, etc., farmers need to protect the crops so that they can still get to harvest them. With no protection against the pests, there is frequently no crop left to be harvested.

He uses several things:

- Fencing

- livestock guardian animals such as dogs (breeds meant to guard livestock like the Great Pyrinees, or Rottweiler for example), donkeys, or llamas/alpacas

- by having a good gun on hand if he happens to spot a predator or rustler

- selecting cows that are more protective of their young than others

- hiring people to keep watch over his herd if predator threats or even theft are more serious than normal

My personal preference is to follow the principles of Integrated Pest Management or IPM. These principles include:

* setting an action threshold * monitoring and identifying the pests * preventing the pests from attacking * controlling the pests with less risky methods such as cultural and/or mechanical controls * controlling the pests with a very specific targeted pesticide * and, as a last resort, controlling the pest with a general broadcast pesticide application

They use insecticides to keep the bugs from eating the crops and other methods. The most effective way to protect them is to put them in a greenhouse.
