Read About Choosing Garden Pest Repellants
Insect repellants are sometimes the only thing that stands between your thriving garden plants and an attack from unwanted bugs.
Things to consider:
Battling Beetles – Japanese beetles are a huge problem for gardeners in the eastern half of the United States. The beetles feed on more than 300 species of plants, such as vegetables, fruits, flowering trees, and shrubs. Japanese Beetle Traps are a proven way of controlling these pests. Traps placed in areas that get lots of sunshine work the most efficiently. Japanese beetle grubs eat roots and destroy lawns, so the insect is troublesome whether it is an adult or in the larval stage of its life cycle.
Ants-B-Gon – Our gardens provide attractive homes to ants, sometimes tens of thousands of them. The problem is that they come into our homes in search of food. Ortho Ant–B–Gon baits are effective in getting rid of sweet and grease-eating ants. To open the bait trap, you can use a key, or something similar, to perforate the holes along the sides of the tin. Next, you place the bait containers in your garden where you see colonies of ants and along their trails.
Applying Insecticides – It takes quick, effective action to stop unwanted invaders in your garden. The Ortho Multi–use Hose End Sprayer is a tool that makes applying insecticides, weed killers, and fungicides in your garden very easy.
