It is virtually impossible to keep purchased biologicals in your yard once you release them. Pest control also can include the use of synthetic pesticides, which include Sevin, Diazinon and Dursban or fungicides such as Daconil 2787. However, these products should be used if all else fails. Use only in conjunction with proper plant culture, monitoring for pests and sanitation. Pest control is easy when we incorporate a variety of pest management tools.
Plants can grow just fine with a low level of insect or disease infestation.
