We teach you to rely on beneficial insects that will build in population as you proceed in our program. We may recommend that you release ladybugs and lacewings 3 times a year in your first season to get a good start on building your beneficial population. Other beneficials may be recommended as well, depending on your priorities and plant material. Bird feeders, nesting sites, and berry-producing trees and shrubs should be added to the garden to attract birds that will take care of larger pests, like leafhoppers.
Birds love to dine on all sorts of bugs, big and small.
Creating balance in your garden instead of using insecticides will lead to a more positive overall situation.
