All about Natural Pest Control
Natural pest control uses living things, or simple natural methods, to keep harmful insects and other pests under control. For example, ladybirds eat aphids that damage plants, and birds can eat caterpillars. This approach can protect crops without harsh chemicals.
Gardeners also use companion planting, where certain plants are grown together to deter pests. Keeping the garden healthy and encouraging wildlife helps natural predators do their job. These methods are gentle on the soil and on other creatures.
