Why not spray a pesticide?
You may kill the insects that are helping you keep pests in check. This means you will have to spray more in the future. Also, insects benefit your garden by pollinating your plants, helping them grow and propagate. Q: How do you make your good bugs feel welcome? A: Beneficial insects are more likely to remain in your garden if there is a ready food supply. While you can buy many of these predators, it’s probably cheaper and more effective to encourage the ones already in your garden. Many beneficial insects need to sip flower nectar to survive. Plan your garden to feed beneficial insects by choosing a variety of plants that will bloom as many months of the year as possible.
