8. CULTURAL CONTROL Use pest free plants Use resistant varieties
Destroy refuse

9. Physical control Usually most labor intensive

10. Physical control
And don’t forget about the environmentally friendly SQUASHING method of insect control

16. Parasite Very stealthy and often small Leave a trail of bodies
Very specialized
Develop from eggs laid in or on host (think “Aliens”)

18. Pathogens Usually very specific leave a trail of bodies
may take a few days to provide control (lag time)
kill, reduce reproduction, reduce insect health

19. Chemical control
Should be used as a last resort and with the lowest impact on natural enemies and YOU!
