| Control of
Insect Pests and Disease
SeaWorld rarely uses pesticides in the Park. Instead we follow Integrated Pest
Management practices. IPM incorporates sound horticultural knowledge, the use of
beneficial insects, proper plant selection, and least toxic, most specific forms of pest
control. At present, we are working with entomologists in the Department of Agriculture to
introduce predators for such serious pests as the recently introduced giant white fly from
tropical Mexico.
