Pest Control: Its History, Value, and Types

The history of pest control dates back to early agriculture, when crops are kept free from weeds and other pests to maximize food production. Sumerians introduced chemical pesticides, using sulfur compounds 4,500 years ago. The ancient Chinese and Egyptians also used chemical pesticides to protect their crops. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century, improved pest control measures were introduced.

Pest control is just as important in homes today as it was in agriculture in ancient times. It maintains the home and safeguards people’s health. Rats, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and flies are pests that cause diseases. Hence, pest control protects the home from pests and prevents you from acquiring diseases that they bring.

There are different types of pest control. Elimination of breeding grounds, like garbage, refers to proper waste management. Proper garbage collection and disposal minimizes the problem with pests like rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and flies. Another method is the poisoned bait, which is used to control the population of rats. Field burning is the burning of fields to kill insects and their eggs. Traps are used for killing mice in houses. There is also the poison spray, delivered by planes, handheld units or trucks, which is a pest control method for killing mosquitoes. Space fumigation uses gas to kill pests whereas the space treatment uses liquid insecticide.
