The correct answer is

Rotenone

The correct answer is Rotenone.

While natural, concerns exist regarding its toxicity to humans (especially through inhalation) and its impact on aquatic life. Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Modern approaches often favor Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which combines various strategies, including biological controls, cultural practices, mechanical controls, and targeted use of pesticides (both natural and synthetic, chosen based on efficacy and minimal environmental impact), to manage pest populations effectively and sustainably.
