organic pest control methods

Organic pest control methods focus on natural solutions to manage pests without synthetic chemicals. These include encouraging beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings that eat pests, using physical barriers such as row covers, and applying organic substances like neem oil or insecticidal soaps that disrupt pest growth. Crop rotation and healthy soil practices help prevent pest buildup. Introducing or attracting natural predators creates a balanced ecosystem, reducing pest populations sustainably. These methods prioritize environmental health, crop safety, and long-term effectiveness over quick chemical fixes.
