Ways to Control Pests on Your Lawn
Have bugs? Have issues with roaches or rodents? Is your lawn usually a pests’ favorite? Understanding the various lawn pest control techniques is essential to restoring your lawn’s health. What are the techniques we’re referring to?
Use Barriers
To keep pests from getting to your fruits and veggies, build a physical barrier. One of the simplest methods to do this is to use a fine net, though there are other options as well. Place the net over your plants, allowing room for them to expand. Cutworms and other burrowing insects can’t reach your plants through the soil if you add a cardboard collar around the stem and press it into the ground about an inch deep.
Crop Rotation
Crop rotation is the practice of planting various vegetable varieties in various garden areas each year to help prevent pest infestation. Some insects enjoy spending the winter underground before emerging in the spring to look for food. If the plant they consume has been moved, the insect is compelled to move in search of nourishment, putting them at risk of attack by birds and other insects.
Use a Spray or Seaweed Mulch
Iron, zinc, barium, calcium, sulfur, and magnesium are among the trace elements found in seaweed that help plants develop healthily. Seaweed fertilizer, whether applied as a spray or mulch, will promote growth and provide plants with the hardiness they need to resist illness. Slugs are kept at bay with seaweed mulch.
