Chemical pest control uses synthetic or natural chemicals to kill or repel pests. Common examples include:
Insecticides: Pyrethroids, organophosphates, and carbamates target insects.
Herbicides: Glyphosate, 2,4-D, and atrazine kill weeds.
Fungicides: Copper-based, sulfur-based, and mancozeb products combat fungal diseases.
Rodenticides: Warfarin, bromethalin, and strychnine are used to control rats and mice.
These chemicals can be effective but may carry risks to humans, pets, and non-target wildlife.
