Which pest management strategy focuses on long-term prevention of pests through a combination of techniques?

Biological Control
Chemical Control
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Mechanical Control

The correct answer is: Biological Control

Biological Control is the most effective pest management strategy for long-term prevention because it involves using natural predators, parasites, or pathogens to control pest populations. This is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach compared to other options. Chemical Control, on the other hand, involves the use of pesticides which can have harmful effects on other organisms and may not be as effective in the long run. Mechanical Control involves physically removing pests, which can provide temporary relief but does not address the root cause of the problem. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) combines various pest control methods, including biological control, for a more sustainable and holistic approach. However, it may not solely focus on long-term prevention like Biological Control does.
