Which of the following is NOT a method of pest control?

Elimination control is not recognized as a standard method of pest control in various pest management protocols. The focus of effective pest management typically encompasses strategies that either prevent pests from entering a space, such as exclusion, or reduce pest populations through cleanliness, known as sanitation. Fumigation is a method used to eradicate pests in an enclosed space by using chemical pesticides in gas form.

Exclusion involves sealing entry points and ensuring that environments are unsuitable for pests, while sanitation focuses on maintaining cleanliness to eliminate food sources and breeding grounds for pests. These three methods are well-established and commonly used in Integrated Pest Management (IPM). By contrast, "elimination control" lacks clear definition and is not widely recognized in pest management literature, making it an inappropriate classification within established pest control methods.
