How do I get rid of pests naturally?

To control pests without chemicals, try:

  • Companion planting: Use plants like marigolds, basil, or nasturtiums to repel pests.
  • Neem oil or insecticidal soap: Safe for most plants and effective against aphids, mites, and whiteflies.
  • Hand-picking: Effective for larger pests like caterpillars or slugs.
  • Encourage predators: Ladybirds, lacewings, and birds help control pest populations.

Always identify the pest before treating - not all bugs are bad!
