What action can an exterminator take to protect beneficial insects?

Limiting the usage of pesticides is an effective action that an exterminator can take to protect beneficial insects. Pesticides, while useful in controlling pest populations, can also have adverse effects on non-target organisms, including beneficial insects such as pollinators and natural pest predators. By minimizing pesticide application, exterminators can reduce the risk of harming these beneficial populations, which play essential roles in maintaining ecological balance and supporting agricultural productivity.

Additionally, adopting an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy, which emphasizes the use of various control methods alongside limited pesticide use, can further enhance the protection of beneficial insects. This approach not only focuses on pest control but also considers environmental impacts, leading to more sustainable pest management practices.
