Lets discuss this through a cold eye in relation to theory and application 
daz) without it turning into a :duel
A topic that has been avoided like the :devil.
The term population reduction may be used in relation to many topics, including the following:
* population decline or depopulation - reductions in human population levels for reasons such as low birth rate, emigration, disease or war.
* population control - deliberate attempts to control human population levels (typically seeking an initial reduction as opposed to an increase), sometimes related to the 'Optimum Population' concept.
* culling - deliberate reductions in animal or plant population levels, by human action
* population reduction - the phase preceding the extinction of a species
* the Population reduction theory - a theory involving genocide
Tie that into Biological pest control:
"Biological control of pests in agriculture is a method of controlling pests (including insects, mites, weeds and plant diseases) that relies on predation, parasitism, herbivory, or other natural mechanisms. It can be an important component of integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
"Biological control is defined as the reduction of pest populations by natural enemies and typically involves an active human role. Natural enemies of insect pests, also known as biological log control agents; and include predators, parasitoids, and pathogens. Biological control agents of plant diseases are most often referred to as antagonists. Biological control agents of weeds include herbivores and plant pathogens. Predators, such as birds, lady beetles and lacewings, are mainly free-living species that consume a large number of prey during their whole lifetime. Parasitoids are species whose immature develops on or within a single insect host, ultimately killing or fatally infecting the host. Most have a very narrow host range. Many species of wasps and some flies are parasitoids. Pathogens are disease-causing organisms including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. They kill or debilitate their own host and are relatively specific. There are three basic types of biological control strategies; conservation, classical biological control, and augmentation."
So, how reduce it?
Examples:
-The introduction of natural enemies to a new locale where they did not originate or do not occur naturally (Classical biological control is long lasting and inexpensive)
-The conservation of natural enemies is probably the most important and readily available biological control practice available to "homeowners and gardeners".
-Starvation, etc.
-Pesticides, poisons, etc.
-Genocide, etc.
