Super Fitness Health BlogHandling Garden Greenhouse Bugs Organically
Taking care of greenhouse insects can be specifically complicated for the organic greenhouse gardener. If you wish to keep everything completely natural, many bug control methods won’t go with your game plan. Some of the best organic ways of controlling green house pests are biological warfare, soap sprays, and horticultural oils.
Dealing With Greenhouse Pests with Neem Oil
This organic insect deterrent is frequently deemed safe for use in the organic green house. It won’t kill parasitic insects, but instead behaves as a deterrent, keeping them from feeding on treated foliage. It may help eliminate insect infestations by interfering with the insect’s power to reproduce.
Frequently, you must mix the oil with water and a small quantity of liquid dish soap, then add it to the plants. It is good at treating infestations of: aphids, armyworms, caterpillars, cockroaches, potato beetles, cutworms, flies, fungus gnats, gypsy moth caterpillars, leaf miners, leaf rollers, lily leaf beetles, locusts, mealy bugs, and mites.
Using Beneficial Nematodes To Stop Garden Insects
Beneficial Nematodes are a incredibly tiny parastitic round worm often used for pest elimination. The worm waits in the soil to attach itself to passing insects. They are available in a suspended solution that’s applied to plants with a hose or sprayer and should not be applied in sunlight. In truth, beneficial nematodes would be best applied on a rainy day.
Beneficial Nematodes are effective to protect against army worms, billbugs, crickets, bark beetles, black vine weevils, corn earworms, crane flies, cucumber beetles, cutworms, fleas, flies, fungus gnats, grubs, Japanese Beetles, June Beetles, masked chaffers, May Beetles, mole crickets, mushroom flies, root weevils, scarab beetles, squash bugs, ticks, webworms, weevils, and wood borers.
Utilizing Lady Bugs For Pest Management
The beautiful lady bug beetles we all like can be aphid consumers. These beetles are shipped live and released near affected plants after watering. Adults will reproduce and lay eggs on the foliage of plants swarmed with Aphids. The lady bugs doesn’t just eat the aphid larvae, but also adults.
Controlling Garden Greenhouse Pests with Insecticidal Soaps
Insecticidal soaps are a fantastic all-purpose treatment for a number of garden greenhouse pests. Nevertheless, don’t forget that if you are using biological control methods, including the afore mentioned Lady Bug Beetles, insecticidal cleansers don’t differentiate between positive and negative bugs in the greenhouse. These soaps are natural and organic and safe to utilize in the garden greenhouse, but you should monitor sensitive plants while using insecticidal soaps as many of your less-hardy plants might be burned by some soaps.
