Organic Pesticides

Making Organic Pesticides
There are so many everyday products that can be used for pest control around the house and garden. You don't have to spend a fortune on expensive commercial organic pesticides, or risk using harmful chemicals around your home. Just make your own and take control!
So, what can you use to control pests around your home? There is quite a list and we will look at a few of them here.
Liquid Soap
Liquid dish soap goes way back as a way to control pests. Long before organic was the way to go, rose gardeners used it to keep the aphids away. My grandfather was a huge fan of using a few teaspoons of a mild, liquid dish soap mixed with water. He would put it in a spray bottle and then spray away! This is one of the few methods that will control aphids and it is very effective. Liquid soap is also effective on slugs, but not as good as our next tip!
Beer Anyone?
Believe it or not, slugs are attracted to beer. So why not use this fact to your advantage. Put a small amount of beer in a shallow container and then bury the container partially in the dirt. The slug will be attracted to the smell, crawl over and fall in. Simply collect the containers and slugs in the morning and dispose of the pests.
Garlic
We have heard of using garlic to ward of vampires – but garden pests? That's right. Garlic isn't used to kill pests, but it is effective at driving them away. Use a garlic mixture that is similar to the liquid soap mixture above. Mix crushed garlic with water or oil and make a spray. Then spray the mixture on plants to help keep furry critters like rabbits away from the greenery.
Garlic plants can also be used effectively for pest control. Plant garlic sets around tomato plants to prevent spider mites. Use it around trees to keep borers away. See, garlic is effective against more than just vampires!
Marigolds
Did you think marigolds were just a pretty flower? Well, have you ever smelled a marigold? Not the sweetest flower in the bunch. But, it is sure good to repel pests in the garden! Plant rows of marigolds in your garden next to the vegetables and you will have fewer problems with bugs invading your crops.
You don't have to use expensive commercial products to control pests around your home and garden. Just use the stuff you already have on hand and become a great gardener!

![]() Insect Control Indoor / Outdoor (Single Unit) List Price: Sale Price: $5.95 You save: $3.00 (34%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product DescriptionMQ7 offers an all natural, non-toxic Indoor/Outdoor Insect Control formulation that is safe enough to use around children and pets. Unlike other chemical based products containing Organophosphates, MQ7 can be applied as often as needed without the lingering ill effects of toxic residue. MQ7 is made from scientifically modified, highly concentrated cedar oil. Throughout history, cedar has been known to repel insects naturally and this is why today we are accustomed to the use of cedar products, such as closets, chests, and other cedar wood products. MQ7 will repel fleas, chiggers, mites, ants, mosquitoes, scorpions, grubs, flies, gnats, moths, no-see-ums, ticks, silverfish, carpet beetles, earwigs, crickets, spiders, firebrats, palmetto bugs and grasshoppers. For over 10 years, a team of scientists have contributed to the development of MQ7. We have identified the very few components within a specific cedar species that have the ultimate repellency property. We take those components and scientifically-modify the cedar oil to intensify these components to come up with our highly concentrated proprietary formulation of MQ7. MQ7 is a much safer alternative to other chemical based products containing Organophosphates. MQ7 works because of an insects' olfactory system's intense dislike for the smell of cedar. In our own test, we identified an ant hill with ants entering and exiting the ant hill. We sprayed the ant hill thoroughly with MQ7 Indoor/Outdoor Insect Control and walked away. We revisited the ant hill in 15-20 minutes and noticed no ant activity. All the ants vacated the ant hill. Features

![]() Organic Farming, Pest Control and Remediation of Soil Pollutants List Price: See Reviews For This Product DescriptionSustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that, scientists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world. This book series gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, then propose alternative solutions. It will therefore help all scientists, decision-makers, professors, farmers and politicians who wish to build a safe agriculture, energy and food system for future generations. |
