By Shama Parveen

Pests can be a major challenge in maintaining a healthy home garden or growing plants. This story will explore natural methods of pest control in the home garden and promote a thriving garden ecosystem.

Encourage Beneficial Insects

Encouraging beneficial insects such as ladybugs, lacewings and hoverflies is one way to control pests such as aphids, caterpillars, mealybugs and mites.

1

Companion Planting

Plant sensitive plants with insect-repelling herbs and flowers such as marigolds, garlic and chives that can deter aphids and flies.

2

Hand-Picking

You can remove larger pests such as caterpillars, slugs, or snails by hand. By doing this you can remove or control the pests without using any chemicals.

3

Use Sticky Traps

Place sticky traps around your plants to catch flying insects, such as fungus gnats or fruit flies.

4

Neem Oil

Neem oil is one of the best ways to control pests in your garden. Spraying neem oil diluted in water on the affected plants will help immediately.

5

Insecticidal soap

A mild liquid soap solution with water is effective for controlling soft-bodied insects such as aphids, mealybugs, or spider mites.

6

Garlic and Chili Spray

Use garlic cloves or chili pepper paste mixed with water to deter pests such as aphids or caterpillars.

7

Healthy soil

Maintain well-draining soil with adequate organic matter to support better plant growth and resilience against pests.
