Pest control wherein at least part of a pest is exposed to particles which carry an electrostatic charge, preferably of opposite polarity to that of the surface of the pest, and which may be sticky or tacky and comprise a wax, for example, a plant wax, such as, Carnauba wax, or an inorganic material, such as, talc. A pesticide, such as, a chemical or microbial insecticide, or a behaviour modifying chemical may be associated with the particles which may also be dispensed in and/or dispersed via a liquid or gaseous carrier, possibly from a pressurised gas or aerosol dispenser at whose nozzle the particles are charged electrostatically by friction. In a preferred embodiment, a trap with a lure (45, 53) has a surface (34), preferably sloping, coated with the particles for destabi- lising pests and a trapping zone (41, 43) into which destabilised pests fall from the particle-coated surface (34) and are retained for subsequent disposal.
