This is a method used by a small but tenacious group of entomologists that strive to control insect populations through a variety of neutering techniques. These efforts are generally seen as more humane, but much more costly and time consuming, than simply squishing the little buggers under your shoe.

An environmental alternative to the current chemical insecticides used on the market. This biological pesticide uses a fungus to control insect pests.
Biological control is controlling insect populations not with pesticide, but with their natural enemies, like ladybugs in the case of aphids. This kills only the pests, and no other species. There's also no risk of the pest becoming resistant!
