Pest Control the Natural
Way
There are a bumber of companies
that offer natural pest control products online. RSPB
and the Royal
Horticultural Society also offer advice on chemical free
pest control methods. Techniques for biological control include
the use of natural enemies to control pests, such as mites or
parasitic wasps, or nematodes that infect the pest with a fatal
bacterial disease.
Some of the suppliers below will
also produce barriers and other systems to protect against entry
by larger animals.
It is worth remebering that when
it comes to diseases, prevention is the best method -for example
by rotating your fruits and vegetables.
