Every season, your garden welcomes new guests. They can be ones you’ll definitely love to see, such as birds, butterflies, and bees. But on the other side, there are pests! They can pose a high risk to your crops, plants, lawn, and trees.
Pests can easily damage everything you’ve started growing in your yard. What if I told you that you aren’t even safe in your own house? There are pests that can move indoors, leaving you with a big mess! I also had problems with pests for a long time.
A few years ago, I was almost left with nothing to harvest because all of my crops were affected by pests! I can’t imagine what would have happened if I hadn’t discovered one of the best natural ways to get rid of them (better late than never).
These tricks turned out to work better than I expected! If you’re also going through this pest nightmare, don’t worry, I’ve got your back. Now I’m going to show you some brilliant tricks that you can use to get rid of them for good!
But first, let’s look at the list of the most common fall pests that will try to ruin your garden.
#1 These Tiny Insects Can Easily Destroy Your Fall Vegetable Garden
You can blame aphids for your vegetables’ stunted and weakened growth. They are pear-shaped insects that can be yellow, red, black, or green.
If you spot them, you’ll need to act immediately. These tiny insects can multiply overnight and cause serious damage to your crops.
The best thing to use is pepper spray. Mix your peppers with water and spray the affected veggies. You’ll see the results immediately because pepper spray is very effective in driving these pests away!
#2 Invasion Of Armyworms Could Ruin Your Beautiful Maintained Lawn
Besides your crops, there are pests that can affect your lawn – armyworms. All the hard work you’ve put into creating a beautiful landscape can be destroyed overnight.
Armyworms are usually brown to black and like to chew your grass. If you notice brown patches on your lawn or a surprising number of birds in your garden, it’s a sign that armyworms have paid your garden a visit.
If you want to drive them away in a short time, it’s best to use neem oil right after you spot brown patches on your lawn.
#3 Sweet Nectar From Your Fruits Might Attract Problematic Scale Insects
Scale are the most common pests that enjoy the nectar of your trees in fall. If you notice small bumps on your trees that are brown, you’ll need to act very quickly.
You can also use neem oil to drive them away or bring in some natural predators, such as ladybugs.
#4 You’ll Be Surprised By How Many Pests Can Be Inside Your Home
Are you one of those people who immediately start running and jumping onto the sofa when spotting creepy insects in your home?
Pests that you might catch sneaking inside during fall are spiders, ants, and cockroaches. So, what’s the best way to drive them away?
Let’s start with the creepiest one, spiders. Make sure that there aren’t any leftovers in your kitchen and take garbage out regularly, as this will attract them.
The next thing you’re going to do is make a spray that does wonders against spiders. Mix vinegar with water and spray it on the places you’ve seen spiders, on your windows, and the front door.
To deter ants, you’ll need a few ingredients such as salt, cinnamon oil, lemon juice, or peppermint oil.
Cockroaches can be a real nightmare, but you can easily remove them with water, baking soda, and sugar. Place these ingredients where cockroaches are hanging out and wait for the magic. After only a few hours, there won’t be a sign of these pests.
Folks, that will be all for today! I hope that I didn’t scare you away with these creepy pests, because you’ll have crops, trees, and lawn to save. With these useful tricks, you’ll be able to do that easily!
I was also scared in the beginning when I discovered all of these pests, but I didn’t want my garden to suffer, so I started removing every one of them! And guess what? The feeling after saving my plants was wonderful!
Now prepare everything you’ll need and start repelling them from your garden or home, too.
Good luck!
