Results are still hit and miss and still more expensive than commonly used alternatives at this point.
I think biological Pest control.
In biological pest control the pests are killed with a living organism whilst in chemical cultural pest control a chemical is used.
To use a natural pest control. for example you have aphids on your tomato plants, you go out and buy lady bugs for that problem. (Ladybugs eat aphids BTW)
There are basically three types of biological pest control i.e. Importation, Augmentation, and Conservation. All these home pest control methods are pretty useful in various pest control activities like rat extermination, cockroach pest control, mice control, fleas control etc. You can easily implement these methods one by one.
Biological pest control involves using living organisms, such as predators, parasites, or pathogens, to control pest populations in an environmentally friendly way. These natural enemies help to manage pest populations by either killing the pests directly or interfering with their reproductive cycle. Biological control can be a sustainable and effective alternative to chemical pesticides.
For biological control pest identification helps in preventing the excessive growth of unwanted plants and their by protecting the human life from serious out coming hazards.

That would be not using any chemicals or bug sprays. Biological pest control consists of using a natural predator to eradicate the problem pest. Like turning ladybugs loose on a bush that is infested with aphids.

Biological control of pests involves using natural enemies such as predators, parasites, or pathogens to manage pest populations. This method is a sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach to pest management that can help reduce the need for chemical pesticides. Biological control can help maintain ecological balance and is often used in integrated pest management programs.
False. Organic farmers and gardeners have been doing just that for years.
In chemical control some kind of chemical is the killing agent, while in biological control the killing agent is a live organism. It may be a predetor or a bacteria or a paracite or fungi. While the definition is simple there is a multitude of implications. A chemical may be long lasting or degradable, but it never thinks nor can it reproduce. Both can have side effects which at times cause more damage then the original pest/disease they were meant to treat does.
