Natural insect and pest control agents for your garden – Part 3

The most frustrating experience I have ever had is trying to grow roses when there are voles around. I bought my wife a dozen rose bushes several years ago for Valentines day. She thought it was a sweet gesture and happily planted all of the bushes in our garden. Within two weeks the rose bushes began to turn brown and I nnoticed one day as I was cutting the lawn that one was tilting a little. When I went to straighten it I discovered that there were no roots on the plant at all. The end result was to discover that we had voles, a small animal related to moles that burrow and eat the roots of many plants. I then began to look for ways to get rid of the voles. My dogs loved the challenge of digging them up and killing them and I actually encouraged this behavior until I came home from work one day to find one of our beloved pets dead on the front lawn. That was when we discovered that voles have a small gland in them that secretes something poisonous to dogs. So back to the search for a way to get rid of the pests.
To make a long story short we discovered that there is a spike that you put batteries in and place in the ground about every thirty feet or so. These spikes cost us about 20$ apiece but were very effective and did not injure anything else or our pets. They are available at most Lowe’s and Home Depots and emit a thump sound about every thirty seconds. I hope that his will help all of you are experiencing similar problems.

If you can avoid pesticides for pest control agents in your garden, your yard will be much more environmental friendly. You can use several alternatives for natural insect and pest control agents for your garden.
I. You can use “good insects”.
* Stink Bugs: Ewww most of us get rid of these smelly things. Yet, they are very helpful in the garden. Stink bugs like to eat worms and beetles. They’re terrific for fruits and roses.
*Praying Mantis: These are absolutely fascinating insects to watch. The female actually kills the male after mating. But for your garden and yard praying mantis feed on a wide variety of bugs including aphids, flies, beetles, grasshoppers and crickets.
*Parasitic nematodes: Now these guys are terrific for in the ground. They are little bitty worms. You have to order them. They get rid of the pests that are in your dirt and attack the root plants.
*Ladybugs: Ladybugs are thought to bring good luck. If one lands on you, make a wish and it will come true. In the garden they eat soft bugs and eggs that are bad for your yard and garden. These little ladies are hungry. In their lifetime they will eat an average of 5,000 other bugs.
*Cryptolaemus Beetles: These little guys look like ladybugs. They are darker and slightly larger then the ladybugs though. They’re favorite food is mealy bugs. They are great for laying their eggs and larvae on infected plants. The babies will devour up the mealy bugs after they are born.
*Green lacewings larvae: These are great for your garden. They love to eat spider mites, leafhoppers, caterpillar eggs, white flies and thrips. You normally have to buy Green lacewings larvae. They eat for 2 to 3 weeks at a time. The adults are slow at making more larvae. After your larvae get to be adults you will want to replace them with more larvae near any infested area of your garden or yard.
II. You can use bats. Bats eat tons of insects.
III. Mulch is another good way to control pests in your garden.
IV. Phosphate tablets break down and add nutrients to your soil. You can use these around the garden and yard to kill pests.

Natural insect and pest control agents for your garden

Garden pests can be a major annoyance, and are often treated with harmful chemicals that can damage more than just the intended targets. However in many cases, attracting other species of insect and slightly larger predators can be just as effective, and can keep pests levels to a minimum. Knowing which species are good for this is often tricky, and some of them do have their downsides as well, however once you know how to attract them, seeing what works for your own garden is a lot easier.
Basically any species of insect that is a predator rather then something that eats plants is useful for pest removal to some degree. Although they might be unsightly and annoying in their own ways, carnivorous species are in fact a lot less destructive than herbivorous ones are. After all, although they may stray into the house, they are usually only going where there is sufficient prey to sustain them, as well as which they aren’t trying to eat anything of yours or that you own.
Ladybugs are a very welcome insect for many gardeners, as they eat many different types of scale bugs which can damage plants by drinking their sap. Most well known is that fact that ladybugs eat aphids, which are a common sight on many types of garden plant, particularly roses. Catching a few ladybugs is often enough to rid a plant completely of all its aphids, as they each eat several every day, and the aphids have no defense against them. Furthermore, ladybugs are foul tasting to predators such as birds, and also have the ability to flatten themselves against any solid surface as their legs fold away under them. This then leaves only their tough shell exposed, which smaller predators cannot pierce.
Dragonflies are often also effective for pest control, as they will eat all manner of flying nuisance, such as mosquitoes and houseflies in great quantity. They can often be seen near slow moving rivers or ponds, although will occasionally be seen in gardens without any water source. The best way to attract them of course is to have a pond in your garden, and to have plenty of places that they can land, such as reeds and lilly pads. Their larvae are actually advantageous as well, as they eat the larvae of mosquitoes which live in the same waters as them.
Similarly if you have a pond, then you should also think about obtaining or attracting some frogs and toads to your garden, which are both excellent predators. Because of their relatively large size compared to most insects, frogs and toads will
