Agriculture has long been troubled by the destructive actions of several non-insect pests, resulting in drastic output reductions. Pests are constantly being introduced to new areas, either intentionally or unintentionally, and some organisms that are intentionally introduced become pests. Increased numbers of invasive non-native pest species have been introduced to new locations as a result of global commerce. Other than insects, there are a group of animals known as non-insect pests viz., rodents, birds, mollusks, monkeys, mites, snails, slugs and wild animals are all included that cause significant output losses in agricultural crops. The most recent pest management issues are produced by non-insect pests, which cannot be controlled by planting a resistant type and necessitate the use of pesticides. Controlling these invasive species is a global task unlike any other.
