And so you have started your dream of putting up a garden. You have done everything that the dummy book had given you — picked the right plant suitable for your location, weighed the soil accurately before putting it in a pot, readied your gardening tools and even purchased the most modern ones, plucked any unnecessary weeds that you deem harmful, watered and manicured the plants when the situation calls for it.
All of which are proven techniques in keeping the greens bountiful, until one innocent day, you noticed that the leaves are being spotted with gaping holes, or the stems being gnawed and chewed at and with an alarmed sense of urgency, you have melted by the thought of it circling your well-attended garden. Pests are slowly building an empire at the base of your rose plant, and all you think of is getting rid of them as soon as you possibly can.
Ideally, it is best that you get rid of pests the most natural and organic way. Using the harshest of chemicals might not only damage the plant that you’re taking care of, but these can harm your family members, too. The first step in removing bugs or pests from your supposed garden heaven is to know firsy what types of insects to exterminate. Depending on the type of plant you’re growing, there are certain pests who are actually beneficial than being a nuisance to plant development. Pick the insects or pest families who feed on your plant or vegetable, and leave the ones who cultivate soil and circulation.
When you’re on the move in manually plucking out bugs from your plants, prepare a container of water since this is where you’d put the pests in. If you’re not in the mood in feeding them off to your birds or poultry, let the pests drown in water. Make sure to put the container as far from your garden as possible to avoid a repetitive infestation and make sure that the pests would be exterminated by this very simple task.
Removing the pests manually and crushing them out on the very leaves would also the trick. Doing this technique would send signals to other underlying pests and they would definitely avoid the area where you have squished the dreaded insect. While doing the pest or bug extermination, be also extra careful in carrying out the task as some might sting or strike, but generally speaking, the bugs that are prevalent on home gardens are harmless.
If you want to do a mass extermination of your somewhat big garden, prepare yourself into crafting an organic spray that will not be harmful to anyone aside from the pests you want to scratch off. Put cut-up garlic, mint and hot red peppers into a boiling pot of water, let it cool down after a couple of hours, strain it and put them into containers. This natural way of killing bugs would still require you to wear safety gloves when at use.
