Organic pest control

Organic pest control

Alongside fabrics and nettings, many other products are available to help the organic gardener prevent pests - including slugs, rodents, insects, pigeons and other birds - from eating precious crops. With a little planning, most major problems can now be easily controlled, and interesting new products are entering the market all the time. One of the most exciting in recent years is the Nemasys range of nematodes - different species of microscopic, parasitic worms which can now keep many of the major insect pests, such as vine weevil, carrot fly, cabbage white, as well as the dreaded slug - well under control.
