Vertebrate Pest Control

Pest Management is an integral part of managing natural resources and agricultural systems. Some of the key principles include:

 

·         Pest management requires a long term commitment

·         Management should aim to reduce impacts rather than simply pest animal numbers.

·         Management should be strategic in terms of determining where management should occur, timing of management, being proactive and using appropriate techniques.

·         Control works best at a regional scale

·         Research about pests, and regular monitoring and evaluation of pest control activities is necessary to improve pest management practices.
