Pests can spread from one area to another through various means:
1. Hitchhiking: Pests may inadvertently travel on clothing, luggage, or objects, allowing them to move to new locations.
2. Infested Items: Pests can be transported through infested materials like plants, wood, furniture, or packaging materials.
3. Wildlife Carriers: Pests can use wildlife, such as rodents or birds, as carriers, moving from one area to another on their bodies or in their nests.
4. Natural Dispersal: Some pests have natural abilities to fly, crawl, or jump, enabling them to migrate and spread to new areas.
5. Human Activities: Human actions, such as transporting goods, moving infested items, or improper waste management, can contribute to pest dispersal.
Preventing the spread of pests involves practicing good hygiene, inspecting incoming materials, quarantining suspected infested items, and taking necessary pest control measures.
