Do you have Bad Bugs (NOT Bed Bugs)?

Then it's time to start introducing Good Bugs!

Three Things Bad Bugs Really Hate: (Sorry, we do not know the treatment for Bed Bugs!)

  1.  Good Bugs (Check out Beneficial Insects 101.com).  Now you can buy your good bugs online!

Carniolan Honey Bees - Apis mellifera Carnia

Marin Bee Company will install and maintain a bee hive on your property and give you 10 jars of honey for a one-time fee of $50.00!  Please visit the Marin Bee Company website for more information.

Put a working hive in your back yard for as little as $50!

Ladybugs - Hippodamia convergens

Converging Lady Hippos - You're gonna remember this one...

Pirate Bugs -  Orius sp.

Praying Mantis - Tenodera sinensis

   2.  Dormant Oil/ Neem Oil Spray Ortho's Volck Oil ConcentrateGeneric Hand-Pump Spray BottleGarden Safe Fungicide 3

              Some gardeners spray their plants with cooking oil, but we recommend dormant oil instead.
              By the way, Neem Oil-based fungicides annoy bugs AND help wipe out bad fungus.

 

  3.  Coffee Grounds Coffee Grounds - We hear restaurants and fast-food franchises are great sources for bulk coffee grounds!  Coffee Grounds Facial Scrub - Ouch! (would we lie to you?)
             Spread coffee grounds in your planting beds, it really works and the plants will love the caffeine jolt, too!
                        (Now, the facial scrub we're not so sure about.)
