What Is Natural Insect Control
Natural pest and insect control use a range of techniques and methods to control pests without using toxic substances. There are various methods which come under this heading, however, the natural control includes using organic materials. Often food products people eat or cook can be used to control pests too. Natural pest control can also involve using certain plants to discourage pests from nesting. In some cases, it could mean using one type of insect to control another insect.
With this method, the primary objective is to reduce and control pest populations without doing any harm to the surrounding environment. For instance, some people use garlic oil or red pepper spray, these 2 methods will not cause any harm or illness, nor will they pollute the water when seeping into the ground as chemical pesticides will do.
Some people try food to keep pests away. For instance, there are some gardening professionals that claim to slice cucumbers and place them in a garden, thus keeping pests at bay. Also, canola oil can be used to control some garden pests.
Some use other insects to control pests in their garden. For instance, when they have a problem with a specific pest, they will find out which beneficial insects are the natural predator to the pest overrunning their garden. If these predators will do no harm to their garden or themselves become pests, they will populate their garden with them. Given time, these predators could help to keep the garden’s pest population at a minimum.
Often plants can be used as a natural insect control too. For instance, marigolds help repel some pests from gardens. In point of fact, some people create a mixture using crushed marigolds and use it to repel pests. Plus, marigolds help to draw in other beneficial insects to a garden, such as parasitic wasps and lacewings. To find out more about our services, please call [cn] at [ln] today on [phone].
