Which is an example of mechanical control?

Explanation:
Mechanical control uses physical means to reduce pests without using chemicals. Using traps and barriers fits this idea because traps physically capture pests and barriers prevent them from reaching the plants, lowering damage through a non-chemical, non-biological method. Rotating crops is a cultural practice that disrupts pest life cycles; releasing natural enemies is biological control; pesticide application is chemical control.
