What is the purpose of avicides?

Control of viruses
Management of birds
Eradication of weeds
Protection against rodents

The correct answer is: Management of birds

Avicides are specifically designed to manage and control bird populations. This is because birds can create various issues such as property damage, spread of diseases, and interference with aircrafts. The purpose of avicides is not to control viruses (option A), eradicate weeds (option C), or protect against rodents (option D). While these may all be equally important tasks, they are not the intended purpose of avicides. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Additionally, the term itself "avicide" comes from the Latin word "avis" which means bird, further reinforcing the correct answer choice.
