Organic Pest Control

Organic Pest Control has become a very big buzz word on the internet with everything from hot water to egg shells as the cure all for weed or pest control. Does organic pest control really work? The answer is yes. However there are often issues that the person claiming to have all the answers don't include.

Such as hot scalding water to kill weeds in your garden. Yes it will work but there will be new weeds the next week in the same location.

The truth about organic pest control is it will work to some degree and you need to decide what your tolerance level is for pests and effort. You will spend a lot more time doing pest control but you will not have any chemicals on your property.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a term for trying to use as little chemical as possible but still create a threshold level where you decide chemical is necessary. Then changing environmental situations to try and reduce or even eliminate the need for chemicals in the future. This is the real world for most of us. I have never met anyone who really wanted to use chemicals. They just didn't know there was an option.

So explore all the organic options and test them first if you have the time and only use chemical means when absolutely necessary.
