Cultural controls in IPM involve modifying the environment to make it less favorable for pests. Garbage elimination is a cultural control because it removes food sources that attract pests like roaches or flies, as noted in theGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 4: IPM). Option A (caulking) is a mechanical control, as it physically blocks pest entry. Option B (threshold numbers elevation) refers to monitoring, not a cultural practice.
