Final answer:

The direct goal of pest control not typically considered is integrating market-based strategies for maximization of profits. Goals like prevention, suppression, and eradication direct concern management of pest populations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal of pest control that is NOT typically considered a primary aim is:

  1. Prevention - keeping a pest from becoming a problem.
  2. Suppression - reducing pest numbers to an acceptable level.
  3. Eradication - destroying an entire pest population.
  4. Integrating market-based strategies for maximization of profits.

While prevention, suppression, and eradication are recognized goals in pest control, integrating market-based strategies for the maximization of profits is not a direct goal of pest management.

Pest control's primary goals are directly related to managing pest populations to protect crops, resources, and health, whereas market-based strategies are typically a component of broader business operations within agricultural management or pest control service companies, rather than specific goals of the pest management itself.
