Inspect herbs regularly for signs of pest infestations such as holes in leaves, sticky residue, or visible insects. Use natural pest control methods such as hand-picking pests, spraying plants with a mixture of soap and water, or introducing beneficial insects like ladybugs. Avoid using chemical pesticides that can harm beneficial insects, pollinators, and the environment. Plant pest-repelling herbs like lavender, mint, and basil to deter insects naturally. Rotate herb crops each year to prevent the buildup of pest populations in the soil.
