SOUND FAMILIAR?

Those annoying pests are...

  • Damaging all your hard work
  • Leaving behind unsightly holes in your plants and veggies
  • Ruining your crops before they are ready to harvest

And you have tried...

  • Finding natural pesticide solutions
  • Investing time and money into keeping your garden pest-free
  • Learning about many different types of pests
IF YOU ANSWERED "YES" TO ANY OF THESE,

You are in the right place!

There is no doubt about it...

Pests are the biggest, most challenging problem faced by vegetable gardeners. We dedicate our time, money, and energy to growing our own fresh vegetables and fruits, and it's so disappointing to see our hard work gobbled up by a hungry pest. But, most gardeners also want to be good stewards of the earth. We don't want to pollute our land with toxic pesticides or risk harming pollinators and other beneficial insect species.
