Regrettably, our gardens abound with pests as often as they abound with flowers and vegetables. Even So, you don’t have to resort to chemical means to get rid of the little insect beasties that want to dine on your plants. For every pest, there’s a natural pest control solution, one that doesn’t require filling your garden environment with poisonous pesticides. And there’s more good news: natural pest control costs less than pesticides and is much healthier for your garden, your pets, children, wildlife and the environment.
Did you know that each year, North Americans use approximately 136 million pounds of pesticides on lawns and gardens, and inside the home? North American homeowners actually use almost three times the amount of pesticides that farmers use. Most of the wildlife pest poisonings that occur—and most of the surface water contamination from pesticides—come from single family homes.
