If you notice potential pest activity in your garden, it is important to take swift action to protect your plants. To begin, identify the pest to determine the best way to tackle the problem. Once identified, you can use a variety of methods to remove or control the pest. These methods include manual removal, pesticides, planting pest-repellent plants, and introducing beneficial insects such as ladybugs and praying mantises. Additionally, you should take preventative measures such as removing garden debris, keeping weeds under control, and managing watering schedules.
