Natural Pest Control For Yard

Plant Marigolds

Plant Marigolds

Marigolds are an easy-to-grow flower that can be used to repel pests from your garden. It is best to plant the marigolds in a section of your yard separate from where you grow fruits and vegetables, as the scent is strong and can transfer to other edible plants.

Plant Garlic

Garlic is a natural repellent for many insects. It also helps in keeping away vampires.

Garlic is also a great way to keep away vampires.

Use Diatomaceous Earth

If you’re looking for an organic, natural way to get rid of insects in your yard, diatomaceous earth is a great solution. This substance is made up of the fossilized remains of diatoms—microscopic sea creatures that lived millions of years ago. When wet, it can be spread over plants and ground as a fertilizer or pesticide; when dry, it has another function: killing bugs!

Diatomaceous earth works because it contains sharp edges that are tough enough to cut through insect exoskeletons but not sharp enough to damage animal skin (or human skin). It also acts as an abrasive substance that sloughs off the outer layer of an insect’s body — the same way sandpaper would work on wood. The result? A slow death for bugs who come into contact with it!

Diatomaceous earth can be used safely around pets and children if you’re careful about keeping them away from dusty spills and properly storing containers after use. However, since it does contain silica (the same material in glass), you should make sure that any product containing diatomaceous earth is labeled “insecticide” instead of simply “fertilizer” before purchasing it — otherwise there’s no guarantee what kind of chemicals might be included alongside those tiny razor blades!

Spray with Vinegar

If you’re looking for a natural way to control pests in your yard, consider using vinegar. Vinegar is one of the safest, most effective and inexpensive ways to keep pests at bay.

Vinegar can be sprayed on plants to kill aphids, mites and other insects. Spray a mixture of one part vinegar to three parts water directly onto the leaves of plants that have been attacked by insects.

If you don’t want to use white vinegar (for example if it doesn’t go with your décor or if you think it smells bad), there are also other kinds available like apple cider and red wine vinegars. The only thing that matters is what’s inside – all types contain acetic acid which helps kill bugs!

Use Coffee Grounds

Coffee grounds are a natural pest repellent and can be used as a pesticide to kill bugs like ants, spiders, and slugs. They can also be used as a fungicide to control diseases on plants. To use coffee grounds as a pesticide:

Sprinkle the grounds onto the soil of potted plants or add them to your garden soil before planting seeds or transplanting seedlings.
Soak the grounds in water before adding them to your garden soil if you want to achieve an immediate effect on plant pests such as aphids and whiteflies. Simply mix one cup of coffee per gallon of water and spray it directly onto the pest’s colony with a hose-end sprayer (or use whatever method works best for you). You should see results within 24 hours!
