If you are looking for a good pest control treatment for your plants, I’d like to suggest you try spraying them with white vinegar. It’s not only 100% natural and chemical-free, but it makes your plants actually healthy in the long run. This article explains how to treat plants with white vinegar and what parts of the plant do you need to spray in order to get rid of the pests. Insects and bugs can cause a lot of damage to your plants. This is a guide to non-chemical pest control for plants that will help you look after your gardening without risking the environment. I will discuss some of the most common natural pesticides for indoor & outdoor plants that won’t harm the pests or you in any way.

Non Chemical Pest Control For Plants

Introduction

As a gardener, you’ve likely been frustrated by the little pests that enjoy your plants as much as you do. Unfortunately, many of the pest control methods you’ve seen are loaded with nasty chemicals that can damage your plants and hurt your health. But don’t worry, there are lots of ways to fight back against these pests without resorting to toxins! In this article, I’ll show you four natural methods for controlling common plant pests, so you can protect your crops without damaging them or yourself.

Spider mites

Spider mites are tiny pests that feed on plants, causing leaves to yellow and in severe cases, turn brown. These little guys can also cause your plants to lose vigor and become sickly looking.

To keep your plants healthy and free of these critters, follow the following steps:

• Check the undersides of your leaves for small dots or webs – spider mite eggs will appear as a white film on these surfaces. You may also see damage on the tops of leaves in areas where they have been feeding; this is often a sign that something needs to be done right away!
• Remove any affected foliage by hand if possible – otherwise spray with insecticide if necessary (but only if no pets or children are nearby).

Aphids

Aphids are the most common problem for indoor plants, but they can also be found on outdoor plants. They’re small, soft-bodied insects that feed on the sap of a plant’s leaves and stems. Aphids produce a sticky residue called honeydew that attracts ants and other pests that feed off it.

Here are some natural ways to control aphids:

• Use soap spray (1 tsp liquid dish soap mixed with 1 gallon water).
• Use water spray (3 tbs baking soda mixed with 1 gallon warm water).
• Use garlic spray (2 cloves fresh minced garlic mixed with 2 cups warm water).
• Use pepper spray (¼ cup cayenne pepper powder mixed in 2 cups warm water).

If you have an infestation of aphids, try using all four sprays at once when treating your plants!

Slugs

Slugs are a common pest for plants, particularly in moist soil. They are small, thin legged creatures that feed on the leaves and stems of plants. They can be identified by their color (typically grayish-brown) and the slime trail they leave behind as they crawl across your yard.

Slugs can be killed using copper tape stretched around areas where they tend to congregate, such as under bushes or near mulched areas. If you don’t want to use copper tape, try using beer traps instead: fill a shallow dish with beer and place it near your plants—the slime trail will attract slugs from far away!

Cutworms

Cutworms are the larvae of moths, and they’re generally brown with a darker stripe down the back. They can be between 1/2 and 1 inch long. Cutworms are most active at night, when they crawl up stems to eat leaves or buds. If you notice holes in your plants with no other signs of damage, cutworms may have been at work!

Pests are a problem for gardeners. Here’s some helpful tips on natural ways to control them.

Pests are a problem for gardeners. Here’s some helpful tips on natural ways to control them.

• Use a fine mesh screen on your garden
• Use a spray bottle to spray plants
• Use a natural pesticide, such as:
• Hot pepper oil spray (use hot peppers or chili peppers in vegetable oil and let sit overnight before adding to the sprayer). Can also be used as an alternative to pesticides when sprayed directly onto insects when they land on leaves or flowers.
• Peppermint essential oil mixed with water can work well to repel certain pests like ants or aphids from plants
• Cucumber peels soaked in water for 24 hours then put into an old spray bottle with water and sprayed onto the plants will help deter rabbits from eating your crops
• Use other methods of deterrents such as:
• Bug zappers that attract insects away from gardens by electrocuting them (this may not be allowed if you live close enough neighbors who could get shocked by it too.)
• Natural plant protector products such as neem oil, pyrethrum extract which works just like an insecticide but without harmful chemicals being released into the air when applied directly on foliage

Conclusion

Pests are a problem for gardeners. If you can understand what they do, and how they live, you can take steps to control them naturally. That’s important because synthetic chemicals are dangerous for both people and the environment.
