Why use environmentally friendly pest controls? It is known that chemical pesticides kill insects effectively but these chemicals can also be lethal to humans and animals alike and lead to ecological concerns if not used properly and properly managed. On the other hand natural pesticides are usually more ecological and are way more conducive to environmental sustainability.
The following list contains environmentally friendly ideas for bug elimination in your garden. They're worth trying before using chemical insecticides.
* A saucer of beer will lure and drown slugs and snails.
* To combat mould quarter fill a waste bin with seaweed, cover with water and leave for many weeks. Dilute the mix to the percentage of one part seaweed stew to 6 parts water before application.
* Make a chive spray to reduce mildew on zucchini and squish plants by steeping 1 cup of sliced chive leaves and three cups of water for many hours. Strain and add an equal part of water before spraying.
* Aphids can be squashed by hand, or blasted with a garden hose ( water restrictions permitting ). Aphids can also be discouraged by making a nasturtium spray. The spray is made by taking one cup of nasturtium leaves and one cup of water and carefully bringing to the boil over 15 mins. When the mix is cool, strain and spray.
* To protect young seeds make a protective collar from an old yogurt container.
* To deter aphids and caterpillars make a spray by boiling rhubarb leaves in water. Strain the mix and dilute to the proportion of one part rhubarb to four parts water.
