To maintain a healthy garden, consider the following key points for organic garden pest control:
- Certified Products: Look for USDA Organic or OMRI certified pest control products.
- Spinosad: Effective against caterpillars, thrips, beetles, and leaf miners.
- B.T. (Bacillus Thuringiensis): Controls cutworm damage on brassicas.
- Neem Oil: Repels and suppresses bugs, especially flea beetles.
- Pyrethrin or Pyrethrum: Derived from chrysanthemum flowers, damages insect nervous systems.
- Application Tips: Apply products in the late afternoon or early evening, reapply after rain or watering.

- Concentrate and Sprayer: Save money with concentrate versions and a 1-gallon hand pump sprayer.
