How to Protect Your Garden From Pests and Insects

Is your garden constantly infested by pests? It can be a hassle to deal with these creatures month after month. However, you can end this cycle by opting for regular pest control methods. 

There are several easy ways to how to protect your garden from pests and insects. Read on.

Invest in Good Soil & Fertilizers

It pays well to invest in your plants—starting with excellent soil. The fact is that not only is good soil equal to great plant health and growth but also less pests. Think of your plant’s soil like the diet you take. Poor diet means poor health and immunity—and higher susceptibility to diseases. Similarly, poor soil means poor plant health—and higher susceptibility to pests. 

Therefore, the perfect way to protect your garden from pests and insects is to get good-quality gardening products. The fertilizer you use, whether homemade or store-bought, helps keep pests away if it is of superb quality! 

Keep It Clean & Tidy

What attracts pests inside your home? One of the most known reasons is an unclean home, right? We’re taking leftover food not stored, crumbs left out, spaces not wiped down, etc. Likewise, a dirty, unkempt garden is an open invitation and a breeding ground for pests.

Hence, a few things you can do to keep your garden well-maintained (and pest-free!) are:

  • Trim the leaves from time to time
  • Pluck out dead leaves and weeds
  • Collect garden litter immediately 
  • Don’t over-water plants to avoid standing water
  • Sweep, collect, and throw away dead leaves

Call Pest Inspection Experts

Nip a pest problem in the bud. There are certain times of the year when your garden is likely to be infested by pests. Spring season and the post-rainy season is when pests, especially flying ones, are most likely to invade gardens. Therefore, the best move here is to call for pest control services.

Residential pest experts excel in pest inspection and removal indoors and outdoors. They have a meticulous process—checking every corner and addressing every plant to protect your garden from pests and insects.

Add Plants That Deflect Pests

There are certain plants that pests hate. You will find a nice variety of these at the nursery, so you can pick the ones that go with your garden’s look. Also, talk to a botanist at your local gardening store to find out which plants help protect your garden from pests and insects. 

Some of the commonly known anti-pest plants are:

  • Cilantro
  • Basil 
  • Citronella
  • Marigolds
  • Chives

The best part of planting seeds that grow into anti-pest greenery is that some are edible!

Practice Crop Rotation

Essentially, what crop rotation implies is that you re-plant once a year. This means changing where you keep your plants to keep the pests from attacking the plants as well as preventing depletion of vital nutrients from the soil. It takes a bit of effort to do this, but crop rotation benefits you and your garden in the long run!

These methods are fairly simple, and won’t cost you the kind of time, effort, and money that a severe outdoor pest infestation will. With due diligence, you can enjoy a thriving, pest-free garden!
