Gardening enthusiasts know the frustration of seeing their hard work destroyed by pesky pests. However, there is good news: common garden pests can be effectively prevented, and you can fight off their damage using simple homemade remedies.
The first step in preventing insect damage is to discourage their presence in your garden. Remove any weak plants, as they may already be infected or attract damaging insects. Pull out these plants and dispose of them away from the garden area.
Additionally, minimize insect habitats by clearing away debris and weeds, as these serve as breeding grounds for insects.
Homemade remedies are not only inexpensive but also give you control over what goes into your garden. Many homemade sprays have proven successful in controlling harmful insects.
These sprays typically consist of natural but non-toxic ingredients like garlic, cayenne, stinging nettles, or horsetail, which are diluted in water and blended to create a spray.
