Choosing the Right Insecticides, Pesticides, & Miticide for Plants
Even with good garden practices and preventative strategies, like using repellents, baits and lures, pests can still damage your garden. So, how do you know what miticide, pesticide or insecticide spray to use?
What Garden Pests are Damaging My Plant?
Before selecting a pesticide or miticide for plants, determine what insects usually damage your specific plant. For example, cabbage worms are attracted to plants in the brassica family of vegetables. Japanese beetles like to feast on roses, grapes and dozens of other plants. Your local or state extension service can provide information on pests that tend to damage specific plants.
What is Eco–Friendly Pest Control
When selecting products for your plants, especially for your fruits and vegetables, pay attention to the labels and how long they can be used before harvest. Many eco–friendly products can be used up to the day of harvest and are listed as for organic gardening.
