Explain the categorisation of Pests. Describe the impact of pest infestation.

Pests are organisms that cause damage or nuisance to humans, their belongings, food, or living environment. In the context of hygiene, sanitation, and waste management, pests are significant because they contribute to the transmission of diseases, contamination of food and water, and degradation of living and working conditions. Effective pest control is a crucial component of maintaining sanitary conditions, particularly in settings such as hospitals, food service areas, water treatment facilities, and residential zones.

Pests can be broadly categorised based on their nature, the type of damage they cause, and the environments they infest. Understanding these categories helps in designing suitable preventive and control measures to safeguard human health and maintain hygiene standards.
