In my last article, I explored how education and exposure can reduce fear of insects. Fear, as I wrote, is loud; knowledge is steady. But fear doesn’t just affect how we feel about insects. It also affects how we respond to them.

And according to a 2018 review published in Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata by Schoelitsz and colleagues, those responses can make or break the success of an integrated pest management (IPM) program.

In this article, I outline the key findings of the study and address how education can undermine common shortcomings in attempts at managing pests.
