According
to wikipedia, A pest is "a plant or animal detrimental to humans or
human concerns (as agriculture or livestock production)"; alternative meanings include organisms that cause
nuisance and epidemic disease associated with
high mortality (specifically: plague).
In its broadest sense, a pest is a competitor of
humanity. There are different definitions of a pest........

The word pest was derived from the French word 'peste' and the Latin word ' pestis' meaning plague,pestilence or deadly disease. A pest therefore can be described as an organism which causes harm to man,his properties as well as plants and animals. For an organism to be classified as a pest,it must be of economic interest that is it must have negative effects on the economy such as:
ReplyDeletelow farm yield
high cost of production
diseases and even death.
Organisms that can regarded to as pests include:
1. Phylum Nematoda

A pest is any animal or plant which has a useful effect on humans, their food or their living condition. It also includes animals which carry disease causing micro-organism and parasites. They are thousands of different kinds of pests which are harmful to human, the great majority of these are types of insect e.g fly, mosquito, cockroach, louse, flea. It is possible for an organism to be a pest in one setting but beneficial, domesticated or acceptable in another that is why it shouldn't be completely eradicated but brought to a minimum level.

DEFINITION OF PEST:
A pest is "a plant or animal detrimental to humans or human concerns (as agriculture or livestock production)" alternative meanings include organisms that cause nuisance and epidemic disease associated with high mortality (specifically: plague). In its broadest sense, a pest is a competitor of humanity.
A pest is any animal or plant which has a harmful effect on humans, their food or their living conditions. Pests include animals which:
• carry disease-causing micro-organisms and parasites, for example, mosquitoes which carry Ross River virus and Murray Valley encephalitis.
• attack and eat vegetable and cereal crops, for example, caterpillars and grasshoppers.
• damage stored food. For example, rats and mice may eat grain in silos, rice or biscuits in shops and homes and contaminate this food with their faeces (droppings) and urine.
• attack and eat farm and station animals. For example, feral dogs (dingoes) kill or maim many sheep and goats each year; foxes will kill poultry, lambs and many species of native wildlife; and feral cats also prey on native wildlife.
• damage clothing. Silverfish, for example, eat holes in clothes.
• damage buildings. For example, termites can cause considerable damage to timber in buildings.
• bite people. For example, bed bugs (so called because they often bite people in their beds) are very difficult and expensive to control. Their bites can cause great irritation to those bitten and, like mosquito bites, can become infected if scratched.
PEST CONTOL : This is the application of certain measures in order to bring the number of pest to a minimum level and reduce the damage caused by them to a level known as economic injury level. Thus pest numbers are reduced to the barest minimum if not to eradicate them completly.
Living and breeding places of common pests
Listed below are the pests which are commonly found in Indigenous communities, along with information about their living and breeding places and food sources.
Flies
Rubbish, food scraps, open septic tanks, open leach drains, under eaves, dirty benches and tables, lawn clippings and animal faeces.
Cockroaches
Rubbish, food scraps, dirty benches and tables, drains, behind stoves and fridges, bathroom and kitchen cupboards, under floors of older houses, septic tanks and leach drains.
Mosquitoes
Cool, dark and damp places such as rain water in discarded refrigerators, car tyres and tins, and in septic tanks/leach drains, water storage tanks, protected corners of effluent ponds and natural bodies of water.
Fleas
Like sandy areas. They need blood to breed. They will also bite humans when there are no animals around. Many fleas are brought into houses on peoples clothes, having jumped onto them from outside their house. Fleas are also transported on bedding.
Fleas are usually found on animals like cats and dogs, so it is important that these animals are kept outside the house to reduce the likelihood of fleas infesting houses.
Mites
Live and breed on animals and people.
Rats and Mice
Rubbish, exposed food, storage places, kitchen cupboards and holes in walls. They are also found in pipes, insulation, under buildings, in ceilings and in trees and gardens.
Bed bugs
Are transported from place to place in or on a persons luggage or their bedding. They hide in cracks and crevices during the day where people sleep and will seek a blood meal by biting a person in their bed during the night.
Bed bugs also need a blood meal to mature into adults. Bites can be very itchy and if scratched can become infected.

A pest is any living organism which is invasive or prolific, detrimental, troublesome, noxious, destructive, a nuisance to either plants or animals, human or human concerns, livestock, human structures, wild ecosystems etc. It is a loosely defined term, often overlapping with the related terms vermin, weed, plant and animal parasites and pathogens. It is possible for an organism to be a pest in one setting but beneficial, domesticated or acceptable in another.
ReplyDeletePests often occur in high densities, making the damage they do even more detrimental
Often animals are derided as pests as they cause damage to agriculture by feeding on crops or parasitising livestock, such as codling moth on apples, or boll weevil on cotton. An animal could also be a pest when it causes damage to a wild ecosystem or carries germs within human habitats.
The term pest may be used to refer specifically to harmful animals but is also often taken to mean all harmful organisms including weeds, plant pathogenic fungi and viruses.
CLASSIFICATION OF HARMFUL PESTS
Ants, cockroaches, flies and wasps are household pests, as they typically consume human food.
Aphids, larvae, grasshoppers and crickets cause damage to crop plants
Lice, fleas and bed bugs can all cause skin irritation
Mosquitoes, tsetse flies and kissing bugs cause irritation and carry disease
Termites, woodworm and wood ants cause structural damage
Bookworms, silverfish, carpet beetles and clothes moths cause non-structural damage
Gypsy moths attack hardwood trees.

a) mammal examples are Rodents like Rat, Mice, Mole and Rabbit
b) Reptiles examples are snakes
C) Aves examples are Pigeon Padtriges and crows
It should be noted in the above pests.. the class insecta are the most abundant pest and they are a force to reckon with
Pest can be control in number of methods.. these are
1) cultural control methods
2) chemical control methods
3) physical control methods
4) biological control methods
it should be noted that its is advisable that to control pest is to bring them to a minimal level but not to exterminate as this will

The greatest importance as pests (in the order of economic importance) are insects, mites, nematodes and gastropods.
Plants may be considered pests themselves if an invasive species. Any prolific animal or plant may be considered pests.
Thus in contrast, to the single term "pest", in composite terms, e.g. "plant pest", "agricultural pest" "livestock pest", the emphasis is always on the organisms or ecosystems infested and affected.

Plant pests
Invasive plant species and Weeds
An invasive species is a plant, fungus, or animal species that is not native to a specific location (an introduced species), and which has a tendency to spread to a degree believed to cause damage to the environment, human economy or human health.
A weed is a plant considered undesirable in a particular situation, "a plant in the wrong place". Examples commonly are plants unwanted in human-controlled settings, such as farm fields, gardens, lawns, and parks.
"A herbaceous plant not valued for use or beauty, growing wild and rank, and regarded as cumbering the ground or hindering the growth of superior vegetation. Applied to a shrub or tree, especially to a large tree, on account of its abundance in a district. An unprofitable, troublesome, or noxious growth."
Vertebrate pests
Mammal
Mice, rats, and other small rodents cause infestations
Rabbits decimate native plant populations.
Foxes, opossums, raccoons, and bears eat waste
Beavers destroy trees
Gophers, groundhogs, and moles destroy lawns
Feral cats and feral dogs eat human food and carry disease
Wild boars damage crops, spread disease, and prey upon livestock.
Birds
Pigeons and seagulls eat human food and carry disease.
Many birds, such as crows, eat crops.
Woodpeckers peck at rooftops and also nest in them. They cause structural damage to homes (specifically houses).
Pest Control Methods.
Chemical control method: The use of toxic chemicals which are harmful to pest organisms. E.g pesticides, fumigating, etc.
Biological Control method: Is the control and management of natural predators. (composting) over unwanted plants. Biological control is a bio-effector method of controlling pests (including insects, mites, weeds and plant diseases).
Cultural control method.
Physical control method: this is a method of getting rid of insects and small rodents by removing, attacking, or setting up barriers that will prevent further destruction of one's plants. These methods are used primarily for crop growing, but some methods can be applied to homes as well.
Note: An organism is said to be a pest when it’s considered to cause a harm that is significant and the damaged must be of an economic interest.

TYPES OF PESTS CONTROL
(1)Chemical Control
(2)Biological Control
(3)Cultural Control
(1)CHEMICAL CONTROL:Chemical Pesticides are often used to control disease, pests or weeds.
Chemical control is based on substance that are toxic (poisonous) to the pests involved.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF CHEMICAL PESTICIDES
ADVANTAGES
The use of chemical pesticides is widespread due to their relatively low cost, the east with which they can be applied and their effectiveness, availability and stability. Chemical pesticides are generally fast acting which limit the damage done to crops.
DISADVANTAGE
It can affect some beneficial pests and also can cause health problem to humans; by inhaling the toxic chemicals.
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF PESTS, ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Assumes that natural predators or parasites are able to suppress pests. Initially, therefore, natural enemies were imported to control the pests. These natural predators were released in small numbers, but once they become established, they were effective in the long term.
ADVANTAGES
Advantages is that the natural enemy can become established and this will produce long term results.
The risk of resistance is also much lower since pests cannot build up resistance to being eaten.
Natural pest control is very targeted and therefore an effective way to control particular pests.
DISADVANTAGES
The disadvantages of biological control are that natural enemies may move away.
Spreading over a lager plot also takes time.
CULTURAL CONTROL OF PESTS, ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Cultural pests control is the managements of pests (insects, diseases, weeds) by manipulation of the environment or implementation of prevention practices including using plants that are resistance to pests
ADVANTAGES
They usually require modification to normal production practices. Sometimes they do not even require extra labor.
DISADVANTAGES
Cultural control require long term planning for greatest effectiveness and they need careful timing.

ReplyDeleteA pest is any living organism which is invasive or prolific, detrimental, troublesome, noxious, destructive, a nuisance to either plants or animals, human or human concerns, livestock, human structures, wild ecosystems etc. It is possible for an organism to be a pest in one setting but beneficial, domesticated or acceptable in another.The term pest may be used to refer specifically to harmful animals but is also often taken to mean all harmful organisms including weeds, plant pathogenic fungi and viruses. Pesticides are chemicals and other agents (e.g. beneficial micro-organisms) that are used to control or protect other organisms from pests.
ReplyDeleteExamples of pest,Ants, cockroaches, flies,wasps,Aphids, larvae, grasshoppers.
Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest,and can be perceived to be detrimental to a person's health, the ecology or the economy. A practitioner of pest control is called an exterminator.Biological pest control is the control of one through the control and management of natural predators and parasites. For example: mosquitoes are often controlled by putting Bt Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis, a bacterium that infects and kills mosquito larvae, in local water sources. The treatment has no known negative consequences on the remaining ecology and is safe for humans to drink. The point of biological pest control, or any natural pest control, is to eliminate a pest with minimal harm to the ecological balance of the environment in its present form.

In agricultural settings, insects cause damage in a variety of ways. The most common are the direct or indirect consumption of our goods such as a corn earworm or corn borer feeding on corn. There’s also the transmission of disease to livestock, plants and people. Some such as bed bugs feed on us directly and others like cockroaches share our dwellings and offend our sense of cleanliness. Others such as wasps or yellow jackets will inject us with harmful substances. Some like mosquitoes or aphids transmit diseases to us or our plants.

A pest is any organism that spreads disease, causes destruction or is otherwise a nuisance. Some examples of pests are mosquitoes, rodents, and weeds. Not all insects are pests. Many different kinds of insects eat other insects and are beneficial species. Examples of beneficial insects are dragonflies (which feed mainly on mosquitoes) and lady beetles (which eat aphids, scale insects, mites, and other insects).
A pest is any animal or plant which has a harmful effect on humans, their food or their living conditions. Pests include animals which carry disease-causing micro-organisms and parasites, for example, mosquitoes which carry Ross River virus and Murray Valley encephalitis. Attack and eat vegetable and cereal crops, for example, caterpillars and grasshoppers. Damage stored food. For example, rats and mice may eat grain in silos, rice or biscuits in shops and homes and contaminate this food with their faeces (droppings) and urine. Attack and eat farm and station animals. For example, feral dogs (dingoes) kill or maim many sheep and goats each year; foxes will kill poultry, lambs and many species of native wildlife; and feral cats also prey on native wildlife.
A pest is "a plant or animal detrimental to humans or human concerns (as agriculture or livestock production) alternative meanings include organisms that cause nuisance and epidemic disease associated with high mortality (specifically: plague). In its broadest sense, a pest is a competitor of humanity.
Pests are unwanted plants, animals, insects, germs or other organisms that interfere with human activity. They may bite, destroy food crops, damage property, or otherwise make our lives more difficult.

The word pest takes its origin from the French word 'peste' and the Latin word 'pestis' meaning plague,pestilence or deadly disease.
ReplyDeleteA pest can therefore be defined as any organism that causes harm,damage,destruction or trouble to every other living organisms. It is a known fact that of all living organisms affected by the activities of pest,man is the most afflicted. Pest are known to cause harm to man's health,his affairs,environment and his interest.
A pest can be an animal (e.g rodents,snakes,pigeons etc.) or plant (e.g water hyacinth,tridax,grasses etc.). Of all the group of living organisms that are considered as pest, the class Insect of the phylum Arthropod are considered to possess the most abundant and widest range and number of pest.
PEST CONTROL
Pest control involves the application of various methods and processes to curtail the activities,damages and number of pest. It will be pertinent to know that the number of pest and the damages caused by pest cannot be completely eliminated or rid of but can be reduced to a bearable and minimal level known as the Economic Injury Level. The various methods applied in the control of pest includes;
(1) Biological control method
(2) Physical control method
(3) Chemical control method
(4) Cultural control method
(5) Mechanical control method
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL METHOD
This method of pest control involves the use of predators or parasites that preys on the pest,thereby reducing the numbers and activities of pests.
PHYSICAL CONTROL METHOD
This method involves processes such as removing,attacking and setting up barriers to prevent further destruction by pest.
CHEMICAL CONTROL METHOD
This involves the use of toxic or poisonous substances to control the activities of pest. Some of these substances include;
i - Fungicides: these are used to control fungi
ii - Insecticides: for the control of insects
iii - Ascaricides: for the control of mites
iv - Nematocides: for the control of nematodes
v - Herbicides: for the control of weeds
CULTURAL CONTROL METHOD
This method involves processes such as;
1- application of baits
2- crop rotation
3- field burning; etc.
MECHANICAL CONTROL METHOD
This involves the use of hand-on techniques and equipments for the control of pest.
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF PEST
(1) Pest causes harm and destruction to other life forms.
(2) Pest causes diseases to plants as well as animals and this may ultimately lead to their deaths.
(3) Pest causes low yield of farm produce to man.
(4) The measures and processes employed in controlling pest may be expensive and this affects man's income.

Class chilopoda e.g centipedes
Class symphyla e.g garden centipedes
Phlyum chordata
Class mammalia e.g rabbit
Class aves e.g weaver birds
Class reptilia e.g snakes.
It is important to note that insects are the most abundant and dominant pest that man has got to contend with. Pests could be controlled in various ways in other to bring down their numbers to a minimum level and reduce the damage caused by them. The Methods used in controlling pest are:
1. Chemical control method
2. Biological control method

ReplyDeleteA pest is any living organism invasive or prolific, detrimental, troublesome, noxious, destructive, a nuisance to either plants,animals or human.
It is loosely defined term often overlapping with the related term vermin, weed, plant and animal parasite and pathogens. It is possible for an organism to be a pest in one sitting but beneficial domesticated or acceptable in another...
An animal could also be a pest when it causes damages to wild ecosystem or carries germ within human habitats .
Examples of pest.
Termites, carpenter ants,bedbugs, milipide.
Types of pest.
INSECT: These are Important and major pest, they are tricky and cause damage indifferent ways via sucking sap from plant, biting plant part, boring into fruit and leaves attacking the roots, barks and blossom etc.
MITES: These are creatures like insect that have soft body and four pairs of legs. This tiny creatures have red/pale yellow colour, they suck the sap from the plant and attack the crops in huge number.
RODENT: These group of pest eat away large amount of human food and also damage the crop on large scale. They are also responsible for heavy lost to stored grains on farm-land, ware-houses, and houses.
ANIMALS: Animals like wild boar, elephant, wild buffalo, monkey, squirrels, cause direct damage to crop plants.
BIRDS: Attacks the crop plants and eat grains ,parrots and sparrows are major among birds that attacks crops.
METHODS OF PEST CONTROL.
Pest causes lot of reduction in the yield and quality of crops, broadly the measure of pest control are of 2 types : Preventive and protective.
PREVENTIVE MEASURE: Are used before attack of pest.
PROTECTIVE MEASURE:Are used to control the pest after their attack...These methods are as Follows: Biological method. Physical method. Chemical method. Cultural method. BENEFICIAL PESTS ARE:

*Cause diseases
PEST CONTROL
PEST CONTROL:-It refers to the regulation or management of a specie defined as a Pest.
Methods of Pest Control
*use of pest destroying animal
*biological pest control
*mechanical pest control
*physical pest control
*elimination of breeding grounds
*poisoned bit
*field burning
*hunting
*traps
*pesticides
*sterilization
*destruction of infected plants
*natural rodent control
TYPES OF PEST CONTROL
=»Importation:-(Sometimes called classical biological control).It is the introduction of pesr's natural enemies to a new locale where they do not occur naturally.
=»Augmentation:-This involves the supplemental release of natural enemies,boosting the naturally occuring population.
=»Conservation:-The conservation of existing natural enemies in an environment is the third method of biological pest control.
Economic Importance of Pest.
*Rodent pests consume and damage human foods in the field and stores.In addition they spoil it in stores by urine and droppings reducing the sales value.
*Through their gnawing and burrowing habits they destroy many articles,structures and electrical cables to cause fires
*they are responsible for transmitting diseases dangerous to man
*most insects are highly digestible protein and energy source
*some pest that eat plant leaves affect the growth of plant which reduce the crop yield and production of the plant.
A pest is any animal or plant which has harmful effect on humans, their food or their living conditions.
ReplyDeleteExamples of Pest includes:
i. Animals which carry diseases that cause micro organism e.g mosquito.
ii. Animals which attack and eat vegetables and cereal crops e.g caterpillar and grasshopper.
PEST CONTROL
Effective pest control requires some knowledge about the pest and it's habitat.
i. Identify the pest correctly
ii. Learn about its live style
ii. Apply control method.

-Grasshopper -Bedbugs -Mosquitoes
-Cockroaches -Fleas -Mice
-Rabbits -Weeds -Snails etc.
Characteristics of Pest
1.harmful organisms
2.damage crops
3.cause diseases
PEST CONTROL-refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a
pest and can be perceived to be detrimental to a person's health,the
ecology or the economy.
METHOD OF CONTROLLING PEST
1. BIOLOGICAL METHOD-is the control of one through the control and
management of natural predators and parasites.
2.PHYSICAL METHOD-is a method of getting rid of insects and small rodents by
removing,attacking,setting up barriers that will prevent further
destruction of plants or forcing infestation to become visual. 3.
CHEMICAL METHOD-This is the use of substance that are toxic(poisonous) to
the pest involved, pesticides are often use to control diseases,pest or
weeds. Pest are grouped into five main categories;
- FUNGICIDES: Acts against fungi - HERBICIDES: This are taken
up by leaves or the roots of the weed,causing it to die
-INSECTICIDES: Use to destroy harmful insects - ACARICIDES: Protects plants
from mites - NEMATICIDES: To control nematode that attack the
plants. 4. CULTURAL CONTROL-is a method
use for preventing crop loss from pest and plant stresses,Some cultural
control need long term planning and are usually not quick method of
stopping a disease.
A pest is an organism typically an insect that sickens or annoys humans, hampers human activities, damages crops or food products, harm livestock or causes damage to buildings. It is also a deadly epidemic disease; a pestilence.

Pest is defined as any organism (insect, fungus, nematode, rodent, weed, or other form of terrestrial or aquatic life form) that cause harm or injury to human beings, possession, interest or activities as it also irritates crops and livestocks of man. The harm/injury may be physical (bites, stings), medical (causing illness or disease) or economical(monetary loss to goods or property).
ReplyDeletePest is also defined as destructive organism that threatens the welfare of useful plants or domestic animals. It endangers human health and safety and also damages stored foods/structural materials.
Though not all insects are pests(harmful and destructive), some are harmless and beneficial. Aesthetic pest cause no damage and inflict no injury they may be annoying or disruptive but their presence will cause no injury or financial liability.
In reality, many of the insects we call pests are essential component of our natural ecosystem e.g. termites are serious pests but in a forest ecosystem, they are beneficial.

PEST CONTROL:
Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest, and can be perceived to be detrimental to a person's health, the ecology or the economy. A practitioner of pest control is called Exterminator.
TYPE OF PEST CONTROL
1) Biological pest control :- Is the control of one through the control and management of natural predators and parasites. For example: Mosquitoes are often controlled by putting "BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS SP. ISRAELENSIS, a bacterium that infects and kill mosquito larvae, in local water sources.
2) MECHANICAL PEST CONTROL:- Is the use of hands on technique as well as simple equipment, device and natural ingredient that provide a protective barries between plant and insects.
3) PHYSICAL PEST CONTROL:- Is a method of getting rid of insects and small rodents by removing, attacking, setting up barriers that will prevent further destruction one's plants, or forcing insect infestations to become visual.
4) CULTURAL METHODS:- In cultural method, pest are controlled by:
* Poisoned bait
* Field burning
* Hunting
* Traps
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF PEST
1) They consume and damage human foods in the field and in stores.
2) Through their piercing and burrowing habit they destroy many articles ( clothes and furniture).
3) They are responsible for transmitting diseases dangerous to man.

A pest is an organism which is regarded as injurious or unwanted. This is because It is capable of causing damage to crop plant and livestocks (animals).Pest cannot completely be eradicated but can be controlled, because they provide some positive contributions as regards "balancing of nature" and "eco system ".
There are different types of pests, examples are;
1. Insects
2. Birds
3. Rodents
4. Monkeys
5. Man
6. Nematodes e.t.c
PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF PESTS
Pest can be prevented or controlled through the following methods:
1. Physical control
2. Cultural control
3. Biological control
4. Chemical control.
1. Physical control: This involves the physical removal of pest by:shooting rodents with gun, hand-picking of insects and larvae,fencing round the farm with wire nets.
2. Cultural control: This method the use of farm practices to prevent or control pest especially on the field and they include: crop rotation, bush burning,regular weeding e.t.c
3. Biological control: This involves the introduction of the natural enemies of pests to control or keep the pest population under control.
4.Chemical control: This involves the use of chemicals to minimize the population of pests.Examples of such chemicals include:
a. Pesticides -to control pests.
b. Insecticides -to control insects.
c. Avicides - to control birds.
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF PESTS
1. some are carriers or vectors of diseases.
2. They cause reduction in the viability of stored produce.
3. The profit of farmers are reduced.
4. They can also cause total death of crop plants.

A pest is "a plant or animal detrimental to humans or human concerns (as agriculture or livestock production)";[1] alternative meanings include organisms that cause nuisance and epidemic disease associated with high mortality (specifically: plague). In its broadest sense, a pest is a competitor of humanity.[2]
ReplyDeleteUsage of the term Edit
A pest is any living organism which is invasive or prolific, detrimental, troublesome, noxious, destructive, a nuisance to either plants or animals, human or human concerns, livestock, human structures, wild ecosystems etc. It is a loosely defined term, often overlapping with the related terms vermin, weed, plant and animal parasites and pathogens. It is possible for an organism to be a pest in one setting but beneficial, domesticated or acceptable in another.
Pests often occur in high densities, making the damage they do even more detrimental
Often animals are derided as pests as they cause damage to agriculture by feeding on crops or parasitising livestock, such as codling moth on apples, or boll weevil on cotton. An animal could also be a pest when it causes damage to a wild ecosystem or carries germs within human habitats. Examples of these include those organisms which vector human disease, such as rats and fleas which carry the plague disease, mosquitoes which vector malaria, and ticks which carry Lyme disease.
The term pest may be used to refer specifically to harmful animals but is also often taken to mean all harmful organisms including weeds, plant pathogenic fungi and viruses. Pesticides are chemicals and other agents (e.g. beneficial micro-organisms) that are used to control or protect other organisms from pests. The related term vermin has much overlap with pest, but generally only includes those creatures that are seen to be vectors of diseases.
It is possible for an animal to be a pest in one setting but beneficial or domesticated in another (for example, European rabbits introduced to Australia caused ecological damage beyond the scale they inflicted in their natural habitat). Many weeds are also seen as useful under certain conditions, for instance Patterson's curse is often valued as food for honeybees and as a wildflower, even though it can poison livestock.
The greatest importance as pests (in the order of economic importance) are insects, mites, nematodes and gastropods.[3]
The term "plant pest" has a very specific definition in terms of the International Plant Protection Convention and phytosanitary measures worldwide. A pest is any species, strain or biotype of plant, animal, or pathogenic agent injurious to plants or plant products.[4]
Plants may be considered pests themselves if an invasive species. Any prolific animal or plant may be considered pests.

DEFINITION OF PEST
A pest is a plant or animal detrimental to human`s human concern (as agriculture or livestock production)alternative meaning organism that causes nuisance and epidermic,disease associated with high mortality (special plaque)the pest is the competitor of humanity.
A pest is any living organism which is Invasive or prolitic detrimental,troublesome,noxious destructive a nousance to either plant or animal, human and human concern, livestock human structure wild ecosystem etc it is possible for organism to be a pest in one setting but beneficially domesticated or accepted in another.
The greatest importance as pest(in the order of economic importance)are insect,mites nematode and gestropodes.A pest is any species strain or biotype of plant,animal or pathogen agent injuries to plant or plant product
Classification of pest: phylum nematode
Phylum molusca
phylum athropoda
Phylum cordata
Pest conrol method: cultural method
Biological method
Physical method
Chemical method
Pest often occur in high density making damages,they even do more detrimatic.the major reason why cat and rat are considered pest is because they consume and damage human food in the house.
A pest can be defined as any organism that cause damage to man and his properties. A pest can be an animal e.g snakes or plant e.g grasses. Entomologist are scientist who studies insect.
ReplyDeletePEST CONTROL
Pest control involves the various method and processes to curtail the activities, damages and number of pest. There are various methods to pest which are:
1. Cultural method
2. biological method
3. physical method
4. chemical method
PESTICIDES
Pesticides are chemicals substance use to kill pest that are free living at some stage of their life cycle.
TYPES OF PESTICIDES
1. insecticide
2. avicides
3. herbicides
4. nematocides etc
they can be controlled but cannot be easily eradicated due to the purpose they serve to other animals.

A pest is any animal or plant which has a harmful effect on
humans, their food or their living conditions. Pests include
animals which:
carry disease-causing micro-organisms and
parasites, for example, mosquitoes which carry
Ross River virus and Murray Valley encephalitis.
attack and eat vegetable and cereal crops, for
example, caterpillars and grasshoppers.
damage stored food. For example, rats and mice
may eat grain in silos, rice or biscuits in shops and
homes and contaminate this food with their faeces
(droppings) and urine.
attack and eat farm and station animals. For
example, feral dogs (dingoes) kill or maim many
sheep and goats each year; foxes will kill poultry,
lambs and many species of native wildlife; and
feral cats also prey on native wildlife.
damage clothing. Silverfish, for example, eat holes
in clothes.
damage buildings. For example, termites can
cause considerable damage to timber in buildings.

• damage clothing. Silverfish, for example, eat holes in clothes.
• damage buildings. For example, termites can cause considerable damage to timber in buildings.
• bite people. For example, bed bugs (so called because they often bite people in their beds) are very difficult and expensive to control. Their bites can cause great irritation to those bitten and, like mosquito bites, can become infected if scratched.
PEST CONTOL : This is the application of certain measures in order to bring the number of pest to a minimum level and reduce the damage caused by them to a level known as economic injury level. Thus pest numbers are reduced to the barest minimum if not to eradicate them completly.
Living and breeding places of common pests
Listed below are the pests which are commonly found in Indigenous communities, along with information about their living and breeding places and food sources.
Flies
Rubbish, food scraps, open septic tanks, open leach drains, under eaves, dirty benches and tables, lawn clippings and animal faeces.
Cockroaches
Rubbish, food scraps, dirty benches and tables, drains, behind stoves and fridges, bathroom and kitchen cupboards, under floors of older houses, septic tanks and leach drains.
Mosquitoes
Cool, dark and damp places such as rain water in discarded refrigerators, car tyres and tins, and in septic tanks/leach drains, water storage tanks, protected corners of effluent ponds and natural bodies of water.
Fleas
Like sandy areas. They need blood to breed. They will also bite humans when there are no animals around. Many fleas are brought into houses on peoples clothes, having jumped onto them from outside their house. Fleas are also transported on bedding.
Fleas are usually found on animals like cats and dogs, so it is important that these animals are kept outside the house to reduce the likelihood of fleas infesting houses.
Mites
Live and breed on animals and people.
Rats and Mice
Rubbish, exposed food, storage places, kitchen cupboards and holes in walls. They are also found in pipes, insulation, under buildings, in ceilings and in trees and gardens.
Bed bugs
Are transported from place to place in or on a persons luggage or their bedding. They hide in cracks and crevices during the day where people sleep and will seek a blood meal by biting a person in their bed during the night.
Bed bugs also need a blood meal to mature into adults. Bites can be very itchy and if scratched can become infected.
EXAMPLES OF PEST
1.Nematodes
2.Birds
3.Mites
4.Rodents
5.Animals
PEST is unwanted plants, animals, insect germs or other organics that interfere with human activity. They bite, destroy food crops damage property, effective, pest control require some knowledge about the pest and its habits.

2.PHYSICAL METHOD-is a method of getting rid of insects and small rodents by
removing,attacking,setting up barriers that will prevent further
destruction of plants or forcing infestation to become visual. 3.
CHEMICAL METHOD-This is the use of substance that are toxic(poisonous) to
the pest involved, pesticides are often use to control diseases,pest or
weeds. Pest are grouped into five main categories;
- FUNGICIDES: Acts against fungi - HERBICIDES: This are taken
up by leaves or the roots of the weed,causing it to die
-INSECTICIDES: Use to destroy harmful insects - ACARICIDES: Protects plants
from mites - NEMATICIDES: To control nematode that attack the
plants. 4. CULTURAL CONTROL-is a method
use for preventing crop loss from pest and plant stresses,Some cultural
control need long term planning and are usually not quick method of
stopping a disease.
The word pest takes its origin from the French word 'peste' and the Latin word 'pestis' meaning plague,pestilence or deadly disease.

2) MECHANICAL PEST CONTROL:- Is the use of hands on technique as well as simple equipment, device and natural ingredient that provide a protective barries between plant and insects.
3) PHYSICAL PEST CONTROL:- Is a method of getting rid of insects and small rodents by removing, attacking, setting up barriers that will prevent further destruction one's plants, or forcing insect infestations to become visual.
4) CULTURAL METHODS:- In cultural method, pest are controlled by
* Poisoned bait
* Field burning
* Hunting

PEST
PEST are destructive insects or other animal that attack crops, food, livestock etc. They are plants or animal which has harmful
effects on humans,their food or living condition,it can also be define as
unwanted plants animal,insects germs or other organisms that interfere with
human activity.
EXAMPLES OF PEST INCLUDE:
-Grasshopper -Bedbugs -Mosquitoes
-Cockroaches -Fleas -Mice
-Rabbits -Weeds -Snails etc.
Characteristics of Pest
1.harmful organisms
2.damage crops
3.cause diseases
PEST CONTROL-refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a
pest and can be perceived to be detrimental to a person's health,the
ecology or the economy.
METHOD OF CONTROLLING PEST
1. BIOLOGICAL METHOD-is the control of one through the control and
management of natural predators and parasites.
2.PHYSICAL METHOD-is a method of getting rid of insects and small rodents by
removing,attacking,setting up barriers that will prevent further
destruction of plants or forcing infestation to become visual. 3.
CHEMICAL METHOD-This is the use of substance that are toxic(poisonous) to
the pest involved, pesticides are often use to control diseases,pest or
weeds. Pest are grouped into five main categories;
- FUNGICIDES: Acts against fungi - HERBICIDES: This are taken
up by leaves or the roots of the weed,causing it to die
-INSECTICIDES: Use to destroy harmful insects - ACARICIDES: Protects plants
from mites - NEMATICIDES: To control nematode that attack the
plants. 4. CULTURAL CONTROL-is a method
use for preventing crop loss from pest and plant stresses,Some cultural
control need long term planning and are usually not quick method of
stopping a disease.
A pest is "a plant or animal detrimental to humans or human concerns (as agriculture or livestock production)";[1] alternative meanings include organisms that cause nuisance and epidemic disease associated with high mortality (specifically: plague). In its broadest sense, a pest is a competitor of humanity.The term pest may be used to refer specifically to harmful animals but is also often taken to mean all harmful organisms including weeds, plant pathogenic fungi and viruses.

Examples of pest:
Gypsy moths,rats,mosquito,rabbits,termites,wasp, wood ants.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a pest control approach that uses the least toxic methods first. IPM includes common sense methods based on scientific knowledge of the pest and its habits. Methods often include removing pests' food source, blocking their entry into an area or building, using beneficial organisms, and the judicious use of pesticides. IPM can be more effective than conventional methods, which may use chemicals alone.

Pest
A pest is any living organism which is invasive or
prolific, detrimental, troublesome, noxious,
destructive, a nuisance to either plants or animals,
human or human concerns, livestock, and human
structures.
It is possible for an organism to be a
pest in one setting but beneficial, domesticated or
acceptable in another. Often animals are derided as pests as they cause damage to agriculture by feeding on crops or
parasitising livestock, such as codling moth on
apples , or boll weevil on cotton. An animal could also
be a pest when it causes damage to a wild ecosystem or carries germs within human habitats. Examples of these include those organisms which
vector human disease , such as rats and fleas which
carry the plague disease, mosquitoes which vector
malaria, and ticks which carry Lyme disease.

A pest is any living organism which is invasive or prolific, detrimental, troublesome, noxious, destructive, a nuisance to either plants or animals, human or human concerns, livestock, human structures, wild ecosystems etc. It is a loosely defined term, often overlapping with the related terms vermin, weed, plant and animal parasites and pathogens. It is possible for an organism to be a pest in one setting but beneficial, domesticated or acceptable in another.
ReplyDeletePests often occur in high densities, making the damage they do even more detrimental
Often animals are derided as pests as they cause damage to agriculture by feeding on crops or parasitising livestock, such as codling moth on apples, or boll weevil on cotton. An animal could also be a pest when it causes damage to a wild ecosystem or carries germs within human habitats.
The term pest may be used to refer specifically to harmful animals but is also often taken to mean all harmful organisms including weeds, plant pathogenic fungi and viruses.
CLASSIFICATION OF HARMFUL PESTS
Ants, cockroaches, flies and wasps are household pests, as they typically consume human food.
Aphids, larvae, grasshoppers and crickets cause damage to crop plants
Lice, fleas and bed bugs can all cause skin irritation
Mosquitoes, tsetse flies and kissing bugs cause irritation and carry disease
Termites, woodworm and wood ants cause structural damage
Bookworms, silverfish, carpet beetles and clothes moths cause non-structural damage
Gypsy moths attack hardwood trees.

Pest is any living organism which is invasive or prolific,detrimental,troublesome, noxious,destructive,a nuisance to either plant or animals, human or human co0ncerns, livestock, human structures, wild ecosystems e.t.c. It is a loosely defined term often overlapping with the related terms vermin, weed, plant and animal, parasites and pathogens. It is possible for an organism to be a pest in one settings but beneficial, domesticated or acceptable in ano0ther. the term pest may be used to refer specifically to harmful animals but is also, often taking to mean all harmful organisms including weeds,plant pathogenic fungi and viruses. Pesticides and chemicals and other agents(e.g beneficial micro-organisms) that are used to control or protect other organisms and pest. the related term vermin has much overlap with pest, but generally only includes those creatures that are seen to be vectors of diseases.
ReplyDeleteExamples of pest(in other of importance)are insects, mites,nematodes and gastropods. others include plant pest such as weeds,mammals such as rat,mice,rabbits and other small rodents.
Pesticides are substances meant for attracting,seducing and then destroying any pest.they are a class of biocide the most common use of pesticides is as plant protection product(also known as crop protection product), which in general protects plants from damaging influences such as the weed, fungi or insects. this use of pesticide is so common that the term pesticide is often treated as synonymous with plant protection product, although it is in fact a broader term, as pesticides are also used for known agricultural purposes. the term pesticide include all of the following: herbicide,insecticide,insect growth regulator,nematicide,termticide,molluscide,piscide,avicide,rodenticide,predacide,bactericide,insect repellent,animal repellent,anti-microbial,fungicide,dis-infectant(anti-microbial),and sanitizer.
Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a specie defined as pest and can be perceived to be detrimental to a persons health, the ecology or the economy. a practitioner of pest control is called an Exterminator.

Pest Control
pest control is as age-long as agriculture is preventive measure adopted by farmers so as to manage and regulate the activities of certain species that can inflict danger on plant and animal.
Pest Control Method
Biological/cultural Method
Biological method is a natural way of preventing animal and plant by regulation and managing from direct attack by parasite,predators e.g method use to prevent and control mosquito Bt Bacillus thurigiensis
Mechanical Method
Mechanical method is use of simple device to and equipment to create a barrier between plant and animal e.g using of hand to remove weeds on ground this method is refer to as soil tillage.
Physical Control Method
Physical pest contol is method of pest control by getting rid of insects and small rodents by removing ,attacking and set up a barrier that disallow further destruction of plant and animal which make the insect to be visual.
Economics Importance of Pest
1) pest cause damages to crops
2) pest cause disease to plant and animal
3) certain pest serve high nutritional source for humane e.g partridge,grasshopper
4) Plant pest such as leguminous crops that are parasites of yam help to in soil erosion

Classification by harmful organism
1. Invertebrates pest e.g caterpillars (cause crop damage)
Termites cause structural damage
2. Vertebrate pest e.g mammals, mice, Rat & other rodents causes infestation. Big cats such as lions and cougars, kill & eat herbivores and the beavers destroy trees.

A pest is any animal or plant which has a useful effect on humans, their food or their living condition. It also includes animals which carry disease causing micro-organism and parasites. They are thousands of different kinds of pests which are harmful to human, the great majority of these are types of insect e.g fly, mosquito, cockroach, louse, flea. It is possible for an organism to be a pest in one setting but beneficial, domesticated or acceptable in another that is why it shouldn't be completely eradicated but brought to a minimum level.

It is possible for an organism to be a pest in one setting but beneficial, domesticated or acceptable in another. Pests often occur in high densities, making the damage they do even more detrimental
TYPES AND CLASSIFICATION OF PEST
Pests can be classified in various ways which include
Classification by mode of feeding or mouth part (piercing and sucking/biting and chewing)
Classification according to body structure (Vertebrate and Invertebrate)
PEST CONTROL
Pest control is the regulation or restrain of pest and their activities on the farmland/environment. It is an act by a person (farmer) to curtail the activities of pest and number of damage they can do.
METHODS OF PEST CONTROL
These are ways in which pest can be
1. Physical control method

A pest is any animal or plant that has an harmful effect on humans,their food,or their living conditions. They interfere with human activity.
Pests include animals that-
*carry disease-causing micro-organisms and parasites e.g mosquito
*Attack and eat vegetable and cereal crops e.g caterpillars and grasshoppers
*Damage buildings e.g termites
*Bite people e.g bedbugs etc
Other examples of pests include cockroaches,fly,louse,flea,birds etc.
PEST CONTROL
Pest control is an application of some measures in order to bring the no of pest to a minimum level and reduce the damages they cause.
Pests can be found in different places which include rubbish,drains,damp places, bodies of animals,exposed food etc.
For effective pest control,the pests and their habits has to be studied then adequate strategic measures can be taken to control them.
METHODS OF PEST CONTROL
*Chemical method: the use of toxic chemicals which are harmful to pest organisms e.g pesticides and fumigation.
* Biological method: it is a bio-effector method of controlling pests. It is the control and management of natural predators over unwanted plants.
*Cultural methods: it is a method used for preventing crop loss from pest and plant stresses.
*Physical methods.
ECONOMIC IMPORTANT OF PEST
* some are Carriers of disease.

PEST
A pest is any living organism which is invasive or prolific, detrimental, troublesome, noxious, destructive, a nuisance to either plants or animals, human or human concerns, livestock, human structures, wild ecosystems etc. It is possible for an organism to be a pest in one setting but beneficial, domesticated or acceptable in another.The term pest may be used to refer specifically to harmful animals but is also often taken to mean all harmful organisms including weeds, plant pathogenic fungi and viruses. Pesticides are chemicals and other agents (e.g. beneficial micro-organisms) that are used to control or protect other organisms from pests.
Examples of pest,Ants, cockroaches, flies,wasps,Aphids, larvae, grasshoppers.
Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest,and can be perceived to be detrimental to a person's health, the ecology or the economy. A practitioner of pest control is called an exterminator.Biological pest control is the control of one through the control and management of natural predators and parasites. For example: mosquitoes are often controlled by putting Bt Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis, a bacterium that infects and kills mosquito larvae, in local water sources. The treatment has no known negative consequences on the remaining ecology and is safe for humans to drink. The point of biological pest control, or any natural pest control, is to eliminate a pest with minimal harm to the ecological balance of the environment in its present form.
