8 Worst Garden Pests and How to Get Rid of Them

1. Aphids 

– A blast of water or insecticidal soap can dislodge them; introduce ladybugs as natural predators.

2. Caterpillars 

– Introduce birds or ladybugs; hand-pick and relocate caterpillars to non-essential areas.

3. Slugs 

– Sprinkle diatomaceous earth or use copper tape around plants to deter slugs.

4. Ants 

– A mix of borax and sugar attracts ants, and borax kills them; invite birds to your garden.

5. Grasshoppers 

– Use Nosema locustae protozoan as bait; encourage bird presence in the garden.

6. Spider Mite

– Introduce ladybugs or use insecticidal soap; miticides can be applied for severe infestations.

7. Groundhog

– Install a deep fence or add an electric wire to prevent tunneling and intrusion.

8. Rabbits 

– Use a chicken wire fence and plant rabbit-resistant plants like geraniums and lavender.
