  Gardening could be a piece of cake if all you had to do was plant some seeds and watch them grow, but there's much more to it than that. After you get most of the hard work completed, and your plants start to grow, that is when the pests show up to attack your plants. You can continue to keep the pests away by keeping your garden very clean. Even though a rich compost pile shouldn't cause any problems, having garden debris and overgrown areas can attract pests.
  
  Some of the all-natural helps for ridding your garden of pests are earthworms, and their constant stirring of the soil, keeping it open to air and water. Several varieties of birds, like robins and sparrows, feed on typical insects. The ladybug is just one of a number of insects that feast upon other more menacing insects. You should not complain about toads, since they consume a lot of insects at one time. But if your garden is appealing to birds and toads, you will discover there are fewer of the more menacing insects.

In case you are hoping to appeal to toads, you need a spot with no shortage of shade. You might want to place a couple of stones under the shade of a shrub along with some wet leaves. They would be happy to stay cool in the shade throughout the summer heat and would be starving for insects at night. Exactly how insects work is the pinpointing factor as to which category of insect they fall into.

Mosquitoes and plant lice are actually scale insects that fasten themselves to a plant and then draw all the juice from it. The gnawing group may be poisoned with a spray applied to the plant, which they take into their bodies with the plant. Insects may also be sprayed with that hit the plant and ,consequently, the insects. Just one really does a deadly job on the bugs. By noticing what sort of damage is now being done and viewing the insect itself, gardeners can then confirm which species of insect is attacking their plants.
  
  useful ...If the stalk of one of your delicate plants has been completely split, you can anticipate that a cutworm is the culprit.
