Insecticides vs. Natural Pest Control

Insecticides vs. Natural Pest Control
2
Insecticides
Insecticides are chemical substances specially
designed to kill or control insects. They target
and disrupt the biological functions of insects
to eliminate or manage pest populations. They
come in various types, including contact,
systemic, residual, and selective insecticides.

Advantages of Insecticides

• Insecticides like biological insecticides provide
  effective pest control by killing or controlling
  pests.
• They are convenient and readily available in
  various formulations.
• Insecticides can target specific pests,
  minimizing harm to non-target organisms.
• They offer rapid results, reducing pest
  populations quickly.

Natural Pest Control
Natural pest control involves using non-chemical
methods to manage pests, such as biological
control, cultural practices, mechanical control,
natural repellents, and habitat modification. It
is environmentally friendly, promotes ecological
balance, and minimizes harm to beneficial
organisms.
5
Advantages of Natural Pest Control

• It promotes plant health and resilience for
  stronger, vibrant plants.
• Hinder pest resistance through diverse tactics,
  unlike reliance on chemical treatments.
• Natural pest control supports beneficial
  organisms that naturally control pest populations

6
Disadvantages of Natural Pest Control

• Limited effectiveness compared to chemical
  insecticides.
• Slow action and gradual impact on pest
  populations.
• Dependence on environmental factors for
  effectiveness.
• Specificity to certain pest species or groups.
