Pest controller pro fessionals have the training, education and experience to effectively deal with a wide range of pest species. They have the ability to quickly identify the root cause of the pest infestation and eliminate it, saving home and business owners time and money in the long run.

Pests include rodents, birds, insects and other organisms that share habitats with people and damage or spoil their possessions. In homes and urban environments pests can be controlled by exclusion, quarantine, repulsion or chemical methods. In agriculture pests are usually targeted by using insecticides or bactericides that are intended to kill the target organism directly. Classical biological controls, such as releasing parasitoids that prey on the target organism, can also be used. In Hawaii for example, the introduction of three braconid wasps in the genus Opius has been a very successful means of controlling an economically significant pest of fruit.
