A pest is any organism (animal, plant, fungus or microbe) that harms or interferes with human interests — for example by damaging crops, livestock, property, stored food, human health, or native ecosystems.
Three types of pest populations people try to control:
1. Insect pests — e.g., aphids, locusts, mosquitoes (crop damage, disease transmission).
2. Weed pests (undesirable plants) — e.g., dandelion, water hyacinth, invasive grasses (compete with crops/native plants).
3. Vertebrate pests — e.g., rats and mice, deer, pigeons (crop loss, disease, property damage).
