Abstract

Pest control costs and inventory costs are very similar in their structures over time. Inventory models have been developed to allow for determination of ordering times and quantities which will minimize the sum of ordering and holding inventory. These models may be extended to the pest control case where the goal is to minimize the sum of damage and control costs per unit time. This latter criteria is used for definition of an "economic threshold" for pest control.
