Vector control tools
Vectors are organisms such as animals, birds, or insects which transmit disease pathogens. Vector control tools are used to limit or eliminate a vector in an effort to reduce the spread of disease. Some vector control tools include habitat/environmental interference to reduce areas where vectors breed, the use of chemicals such as insecticides or rodenticides, or biological interference by the introduction of natural predators.
