Description
This person oversees the design and strategic planning of pest prevention and eradication activities in recreational areas, forests, urban spaces, etc. A pest is set of living beings that, due to their abundance or characteristics, can cause nuisances, health problems or financial problems for people. The traditional methods to fight them have always been based on chemicals, which cause many secondary problems related to toxicity. The main goal of comprehensive pest control is to control the species that are harmful for man, keeping them under the tolerance threshold through the control and correction of the environmental factors that cause them to appear. In this way, the use of chemical products can be reduced or even eliminated. The main goal of the expert in comprehensive pest control systems is to protect human health, with the least aggressive methods possible.

The habitat and urban services industry responds to any society¿s need for housing and related services. However, despite this need being constant, the evolution of the industry and its growth is reliant on the economic situation that shapes the purchase power of residents, the property market and public investment. This industry is home to a range of professional profiles dedicated to construction, which can be grouped into the different stages of construction, from construction work itself to the renovation of buildings and services dedicated to selling property, without forgetting occupations that involve controlling the safety and quality of materials and compliance with the established procedures. In turn, urban services are intrinsically associated with construction, as they respond to the maintenance and correct functioning needs of these urban habitats in a broader sense.
