Gardening is a rewarding pastime that can transform your backyard into a serene oasis and provide nutritious food. Despite your best efforts to care for your ornamental plants, vegetables and herbs, several garden pests can damage the health and appearance of your plants. Common pests include ants, aphids, caterpillars and earwigs as well as grubs, slugs and beetles. These pests can defoliate the leaves, chew through stems or contaminate the plants with fungal infections, such as rose mosaic. Although ants do not eat vegetation, they herd destructive aphids on your plants. An infestation can decimate your cherished garden within days. It is essential that the garden be inspected on a regular basis so that pest infestations are discovered as early as possible.
There are a number of commercially available pest control measures available to homeowners, including harsh chemicals. Many of these products are ineffective if not used properly. The best way to manage garden pests is to hire a professional service that utilizes a targeted approach based upon the actual pests that are present. This minimizes the possibility of over- or under-applying pesticides. It also eliminates the requirement to store these chemicals. The choice may be a broad-spectrum pesticide or one specifically designed for a particular species of pest. It is also important to know when to apply these chemicals.
