1. Planting natural repellents such as garlic, chilies, and hot peppers around your garden can deter pests from coming in.
2. Using row covers or floating row covers over your crops can help protect them from insects that might be attracted to them.
3. Hand-picking any bugs you see will also help reduce the population of pests in your garden.
4. Keeping a clean garden by removing debris regularly helps prevent pests from finding their way into your plants.
5. Placing traps near entrances to your garden can help capture flying insects before they enter your space.
