The lesser mealworm (Alphitobius diaperinus) is a significant pest in poultry facilities, transmitting pathogens such as Salmonella and causing structural damage operations. Challenges insecticide resistance environmental concerns associated with the widespread use of traditional insecticides underscore need for sustainable alternatives. This review examines biological management strategies managing mealworm, including entomopathogenic fungi, bacteria, nematodes, plant essential oils-extracts, pheromones, diatomaceous earth. These eco-friendly approaches highlight fungi nematodes their effectiveness larval control oils insecticidal repellent properties. application pheromones earth further complements other methods within integrated (IPM) systems. Integrating these tools into IPM offers effective solution reducing A. diaperinus populations, addressing both health concerns.
