GARDEN PEST CONTROL ADVICE.

HOW DO I CONTROL PESTS IN MY GARDEN?

 

Placing a copper ring around the base of plants will help deter slugs and snails. A floating row cover (lightweight fabric) either laid on the plants or held up by wire hoops can be used to keep insects like cabbage loopers, bean beetles, cucumber beetles, and squash vine borers off your plants.

Gardens have insects that are HELPFUL and some that are not so helpful, just like any environment in nature. Much of the time, the helpful insects, and predatory insects, keep the less helpful pests in check. But sometimes the balance shifts and a plant can sustain damage serious enough to warrant pest control efforts. Fortunately, most garden insect pests can be dealt with USING NONE TOXIC such as handpicking or using smc or SB Plant Invigorator or a strong spray of water. How you deal with the problem depends on what insect is causing damage. Here's how you can identify and control some of the most common garden pests. If you are growing in a greenhouse or a grow tent and have bug issues then the best prodect to use would be a smoke bomb.
