  1. 6 ORGANIC PEST CONTROL METHODS

  2. If your vegetable garden is overrun with pests, the first step is to identify the invader. Snap a photo of the pest and compare to others on the internet, or ask a local garden expert. Once you have identified the pest, now you can take proactive measures to protect your garden.

  3. Seek Help from Professional Pest Control Services if the matter is out of DIY saving.

  4. SPINOSAD This option can safely be used on your fruit and vegetable crops. It kills garden pests including bagworms, borers, beetles, spider mites, tent caterpillars, and loopers. Once spinosad dries, it will kill insects that ingest it.

  5. NEEM OIL Its active ingredient, azadirachtin, will cause infected insects to eat less, grow more slowly, and molt less. This is a good option for those who don’t yet have major pest infestations and want to get a head start on reducing the quantity of potential pests.

  6. DIATOMACEOUS EARTH If you are opposed to using chemicals– albeit organic–around your vegetable crops, considering sprinkling food-grade diatomaceous earth in your garden bed. Diatomaceous earth is best used in dry instances and becomes less effective when wet.

  7. MINERALS Certain minerals can also be used to control pests. Sulfur is sold as a liquid, wettable dust, or paste and will control spider mites, psyllids, and thrips. Use on vegetables like beans, potatoes, tomatoes, or peas.

  8. BENEFICIAL INSECTS Not all insects are destructive pests. Some insects are beneficial in that they will actually attack and feed on other insects. You’ll want to attract these insects to your vegetable garden: ladybugs, lacewings, ground beetles and lady beetles, praying mantis, and parasitic wasps, to name a few.

  9. TRAP CROPS rap crops offer pests an alternative that will save the crop you want to harvest. They’re planted prior to other crops to attract flying insects, who avoid landing on bare soil. Plant your trap crops to coincide with your pests’ invasion times.
