What is a common misconception about pest control?

The belief that using more pesticides guarantees better pest control is a common misconception. In reality, the effectiveness of pest control does not solely depend on the quantity of pesticide used. Over-application can lead to negative consequences, such as pesticide resistance in pests, environmental harm, and health risks to humans and beneficial organisms. Effective pest management focuses on the proper application techniques, dosage, timing, and selecting the right products for the specific pest and situation. This approach is pivotal in achieving sustainable pest management.
