Why is mechanical/physical control an effective strategy in pest management?

  1. Promotes pest entry

  2. Directly kills pests

  3. Encourages pest survival

  4. Enhances pest dispersal

The correct answer is: Directly kills pests

Mechanical/physical control is an effective strategy in pest management because it directly kills pests. This involves physically removing or killing the pests, such as using traps or barriers, rather than relying on chemicals or pesticides. The other options are incorrect because they do not contribute to the goal of controlling or reducing the pest population. Promoting pest entry would only make the problem worse, while encouraging pest survival and enhancing pest dispersal would allow pests to continue thriving and spreading.
