Understanding The Concept Of Lowell Pest Control

By Chasity Sheppard


Lowell pest control refers to a process used to manage certain species of pests mostly insects due to their negative impacts on human health, agriculture, economy and the ecology. These pests could be detrimental in the productivity of an agricultural land or cause diseases to both livestock and human beings. There are also instances where there are bigger pests involved and they include the raccoons and seagulls.

In order for the situation not to get out of hand, it is necessary to deal with pests. Accumulation of pests may cause diseases to human beings therefore affecting their production level which in turn affects the economy badly. It would be very expensive to treat the effects caused by these pests and therefore preventing them ought to be a top priority.

A good approach that would be effective in controlling pests will be by first treating the main root cause of these problems. The best approach would be to eliminate the factors that favor their increase in population. There are various ways that are applied in the control of pests to cut down their numbers.

Using biological means of controlling pests would be an effective method to use. This could take the form of introducing some predators to eradicate pests. It also has another advantage in that the predators scare away the pests from the space they had occupied before. An example could be using a cat to scare away mice from the house.

Measures that are eco-friendly are mostly favored to ensure that no harm is done to the environment as majority of the pesticides are harmful to the environment. There are some heat and freezing kind of treatments that are used to kill the pests. In addition there are other mechanical forms of pest eradication that could be used.

Using poisoned food as bait in order to kill the pests would also be a great method. Once pests ingest the poisoned foods then they would die. Use of pesticides is a rather common method used in the agricultural areas. They are mainly used to curb the damage caused by the pests to the agricultural produce. A good number of exterminators prefer to use pesticides in the treatment of pest infestations.

Using traps to eradicate pests could be another useful method of elimination pests such as rats and mice found in residential homes. The traps are made up of a snap trap and bait which is mostly cheese used to lure the rodents to the trap. Once the rodents eat the bait, they activate the snap trap that catches them. Another form of trap used includes a cardboard piece that has glue on one side which traps the rodents.

In extreme cases of insect infestation, space fumigation may be carried out to kill all the pests in that particular space. It involves the use of toxic fumes and chemicals that make it necessary for human beings to clear away from such areas for some time. If all the above Lowell pest control practices are carried out well, it will be possible for a farmer to eradicate all the pests.
