Explanation:
Monitoring pests at airports and ocean ports that pose a serious threat to public health or widespread damage to crops or animals is an example of quarantine, which falls under the category of cultural control methods in pest management. Quarantine is a preventative action designed to restrict the movement of pests and prevent them from entering new areas where they can cause harm. Rather than immediately using chemical control, cultural control methods aim to minimize the conditions that allow pests to thrive and spread by modifying or disrupting the pest environment to make it less habitable.
