Introduce Beneficial Insects

4
  1. Solution: Attract or purchase beneficial insects that prey on garden pests.
  2. Explanation: Ladybugs consume aphids, lacewings eat aphids and other soft-bodied insects, and parasitic wasps target specific pests like hornworms or aphids. You can attract these insects by planting flowers they favor (like dill, fennel, yarrow) or purchase them from suppliers for release into your garden.
  3. Notes: Biological control method. Requires creating a suitable habitat for beneficials. Effectiveness depends on establishing a population.
