Home Tips : Non-toxic pest control

The key to non-toxic pest control is firstly understanding that if you are not going to use chemicals you will always have a certain population of pests in your garden. The trick is to keep the populations of these pests at such a level that they do little or no damage.

So, how to control the populations of the pests? As with most problems if we look closely enough, Mother Nature has put the answers right in front of our noses.
