How do you control pests without chemicals?

Controlling pests without chemicals involves using natural, environmentally friendly methods. One effective approach is introducing beneficial insects like ladybugs or lacewings to prey on harmful pests. Crop rotation and companion planting help deter pests by confusing them or repelling them naturally. Maintaining garden hygiene by removing weeds and debris reduces pest breeding grounds. Physical barriers like nets or row covers protect plants. Using traps, such as sticky or pheromone traps, helps monitor and reduce pest populations. Homemade sprays with garlic, neem oil, or soap can also deter insects. These methods support a healthy ecosystem and reduce reliance on harmful chemicals.
