Best Natural Pest Control For Garden

Introduction

Whether you have a vegetable garden or just a small collection of flowerbeds, nothing is more frustrating than pests eating all your hard work. Luckily, you don’t have to spray toxic chemicals everywhere to keep pests at bay! There are plenty of natural ways to protect your garden. Add some marigolds, hang up some bat houses, and use essential oils in your spray solution. With just a little bit of work and planning, you can get rid of those pests for good without hurting our planet.

Marigold

Marigolds are a popular variety of annual flower that provide a natural insect repellent. They are also considered to be good companion plants because they help deter pests from other garden plants. Marigolds can be planted around the perimeter of your garden or in between rows of vegetables and flowers. Marigold is useful as an insect repellent for various types of pests, including aphids, squash bugs, Mexican bean beetles and whiteflies.

Marigolds are also great companion plants for beans, cucumbers and squash because they help control several types of weeds that these vegetables tend to struggle with in the garden like morning glory or bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis). If you’re growing tomatoes then marigold is said to deter flea beetles which can cause damage by eating holes through leaves which result in reduced growth rates so it’s important to keep them away from your tomato plants at all cost!

Bat Houses

If you have a garden that is frequently plagued by pests, you might be interested in learning about natural pest control. There are many different methods of naturally controlling pests, including the use of non-toxic pesticides and beneficial insects. However, one method that may not have occurred to you is the installation of bat houses. Bats eat many types of flying insects and are very effective at reducing populations of pest insects such as mosquitoes and beetles within their habitat. In addition to providing an environmentally friendly method for reducing pest populations in your garden, building a bat house also allows you to observe these beautiful creatures up close as they fly around above your property!

Eggshells

Eggshells are a great way to repel pests in your garden. They’re rich in calcium, phosphorus and potassium, which all contribute to the growth of plants. Adding crushed eggshells to your soil will help make it more alkaline and add nutrients that are essential for healthy plant growth.

Eggshells also contain tiny amounts of magnesium and sodium, which can help prevent many types of insects from getting into your garden by repelling them as well as luring them away with their own scents

Coffee grounds

Coffee grounds are a great natural pest control for your garden. If you have a problem with slugs and snails, coffee grounds make a great barrier between them and the plants you want to protect. They also work well to repel ants, flies and other pests from your garden.

Essential oils

• Essential oils are effective against a wide range of pests. This includes aphids, mites, scale insects and other garden pests.
• Essential oils do not harm humans or pets. They are safe to use around both humans and animals in your garden environment without causing any harm to either party.
• Essential oils are easy to apply on plants or soil using a variety of methods such as spraying directly on the affected plant matter or applying it via spray bottle into the ground around the roots of your plants/garden bedding area(s). It’s important to note that some essential oils do not mix well with water so make sure you test first before applying any type of solution containing these particular liquids (eucalyptus oil being one example).
• Compared with chemical pesticides which often come with dangerous side effects (including death), essential oils are generally safer for everyone involved–including our furry friends! You’ll also save money by using them because they’re much less expensive than other options out there like insecticides; plus they’re easy-to-use so anyone can get started!

Soap spray

The soap spray is an inexpensive and effective way to control your garden pests. It’s also simple to make, so you won’t have to waste time or money on store-bought versions. When using this method to combat garden pests, make sure that you use dish soap rather than hand soap (which can be too harsh). Put 1 cup of liquid dish soap in a spray bottle with 1 cup of water and shake well before each use. Spray this mixture directly onto plants that are infested with aphids or other small bugs; repeat every few days until they disappear completely (you may need more than one application). Be careful not to spray any bees or butterflies that might be visiting your garden; these insects are beneficial for pollinating plants and will not harm them if left alone!

Hot pepper repellent

Spray your hot pepper mixture in the evening when the temperature is above 50 degrees and there is no wind. You should also spray on a cloudless day or in the early morning hours when dew still covers the leaves. Direct sunlight will evaporate some of your repellent, so it’s best to spray during this time as well.

Garlic spray

Garlic spray is a great choice for gardeners who don’t have time to prepare and apply homemade pest control solutions. It’s also good for those who are simply looking for a quick and effective way to keep pests away from their gardens.

To make garlic spray, you’ll need:

• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid soap or detergent (Dawn dishwashing liquid works well)
• 4 tablespoons of minced garlic

Mix together all ingredients in a spray bottle and shake well. Spray directly on plants that are infested with aphids, spider mites, or other pests listed below; then water as usual. Repeat once every three days until problem insects disappear or have been significantly reduced in number by the first application of garlic spray.

Lemon juice

Lemon juice is a natural pesticide that can help with aphids, ants and spider mites. It’s also effective against whitefly, thrips and scale insects.

• Mix 1 part lemon juice to 4 parts water in a spray bottle, then spray on your plants every few days to get rid of these pests.
• You can use lemon juice in conjunction with other natural pesticides like neem oil or garlic insect repellent oil to get the best results against garden pests.

Make your own natural pest control to protect your garden.

• Use a variety of methods. Using only one method can be ineffective, so you should use a combination of natural methods to keep pests under control.
• Mix and match methods. The most effective way to avoid using harmful pesticides is to combine physical, chemical and biological control methods for your garden pest problem.

The three types of controls are:

Physical controls – These are barriers that keep pests out of your garden or home such as fencing or netting around vegetable plants or window screens on doors leading outside the house;

Chemical controls – These include substances that kill insects like insecticidal soap (which contains potassium salts) or diatomaceous earth (crushed fossil shells);

Biological controls – These involve using organisms such as ladybugs which eat aphids which damage plant leaves by sucking plant juices out of them;
