Effective Garden Pest Control

Anyone who gardens has had a pest control problem. A garden pest can be a weed, an animal, an insect or a disease. The best defense is to learn how to diagnose the problem.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

IPM involves identifying the plant, the problem and the pest, then deciding on a course of action that will mange the problem with the least damage to the environment. Few pests can ever be completely eliminated. The goal is to minimize damage.

Different people will have different thresholds in which they feel compelled to take action and different ideas about what actions are acceptable. We should always consider how the action that we decide to take would effect the environment and those around us.
