Soil gets degraded due to the soil bugs(pests) like grubs,gnats,cutwarms..etc. Due to such bugs,the nutritional quality, physical quality and the fertility of the soil decreases.So pest and weed control is important from the quality point of view of soil.

Elimination of breeding grounds-
Conventional waste management and drainage of still water, eliminates the breeding ground of many pests.Garbage provides food and shelter for many unwanted organisms, as well
as an area where still water might collect and be used as a breeding
ground by mosquitoes. Communities that have proper garbage collection
and disposal, have far less of a problem with rats, cockroaches,
mosquitoes, flies and other pests than those that don't.Open air sewers
are ample breeding ground for various pests as well. By
building and maintaining a proper sewer system, this problem is
eliminated.Certain spectrums of LED light can "disrupt insects’
breeding.
Poisoned bait -
Poisoned bait is a common method for controlling rat populations however is not as effective when there are other food sources around, such as garbage. Poisoned meats have been used for centuries for killing off wolves, birds that were seen to threaten crops, and against other creatures. This can be a problem, since a carcass which has been poisoned will kill not only the targeted animal, but also every other animal which feeds on the carcass. Humans have also been killed by coming in contact with poisoned meat, or by eating an animal which had fed on a poisoned carcass. This tool is also used to manage several caterpillars e.g.Spodoptera litura,fruit flies,snails and slugs,crabs etc.
