Natural Pest Control Methods for a Healthy Garden

Attract beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings to your garden by planting companion plants. Use physical barriers like row covers or handpicking to protect your plants from pests. Make your own organic insecticidal soap with water, soap, and a dash of oil to control soft-bodied pests. Apply diatomaceous earth around plants to deter crawling insects without harming beneficial bugs. Introduce predatory nematodes to your soil to control underground pests like grubs and larvae.
