Chemical control, which includes the injection of pesticides or fumigation, is the most important control method to fight against borers. The most important limitation to control borers is the early detection. The control of bores like many other pests require an IPM strategy. This require to be familiar with all the biological and ecological aspects of the pest. In addition, implementing the control program requires continuous follow-up of the various details and evaluation of the activities to ensure the success of the program.
