Pest Control For Gardens

 Pest infestation is one of the most alarming and disturbing problems when it comes to garden as this can cause severe damage. Any gardener would understand the importance of keeping their gardens pest-free and healthy.  When you view your garden’s plants, the last thing you need is pests. Pesticides, sprays, and other chemicals are normally the solutions in place to get rid of these pests, but as we all know such solutions are not always successful. If a skunk finds its way into your backyard, it wouldn’t be pleasant to expose yourself to a chemical solution to get rid of it. The safest solution would be capturing it in a cage and releasing it far from your home.

Pest Control For Gardens

If you are a gardener, you may have been afflicted with pests in your garden. It is very important to control pests in the garden. Pests can destroy the crop and make it unproductive. There are many ways by which you can protect your garden from pests. The most common method is to use pesticides. However, there are other effective methods that can be used as an alternative to pesticides. These methods are discussed below:

1) Use beneficial insects to control pests: This method involves using insects that feed on the harmful insects or on their eggs. Beneficial insects include ladybugs and spiders. These insects help to control the population of other harmful insects in your garden without using any chemical substances.

2) Determine what type of pest you have: There are different types of pests such as weeds, insect pests, fungal diseases and so on. The type of pest will determine which method should be used for controlling them. For example, if there is a fungus on your plant then it should be sprayed with fungicide instead of using an insecticide because fungicides do not kill insects but only kill fungi.

Whether you’re growing a vegetable garden for the first time or you’re a seasoned pro, pests are bound to make an appearance. Luckily, there are many ways to control pests in your garden. Here are some of our favorite tips:

-Start with prevention. If you can keep pests out of your garden in the first place, you won’t have to worry about them later. Check around your house and yard for any signs of pests and then seal off entry points with steel wool or caulk.

-Use natural pest repellents like vinegar or cayenne pepper around plants that attract pests.

-Plant marigolds around vegetables that tend to attract bugs like tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant. Marigolds repel mosquitoes as well as other insects!

-Plant basil near tomato plants; it keeps away flies and beetles!
