What should the objective(s) in pest control primarily include?

The primary objective in pest control should encompass integrated pest management involving various measures. This approach integrates multiple strategies to effectively manage pest populations while minimizing impacts on the environment and human health.

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a holistic approach that combines biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools to control pests. By using a range of methods, IPM promotes sustainable practices and reduces reliance on chemical pesticides, which can lead to resistance and environmental degradation.

While controlling life cycles and conditions favorable to pests is important and could be seen as part of an integrated approach, the broader objective is to use various techniques that work synergistically to achieve effective pest management. Establishing a world-wide network for pest elimination may have benefits in information sharing, but it is not a direct objective of pest control strategies. Thus, focusing solely on IPM as the most relevant and encompassing answer aligns more closely with current best practices in the field of pest management.
