How To Get Rid of Garden Pests

If you are a gardener, you have probably been plagued by garden pests at one point or another. Garden pests include slugs, aphids, and beetles. Pests can be very destructive to your garden and can cause large amounts of damage in short periods of time. There are lots of options available to get rid of these pesky little critters from your garden for good!

The first step in getting rid of garden pests is to identify them. This can be done by looking at pictures online or by contacting a pest control specialist, like the team at Newcastle Pest Exterminators. Once you have identified the pest, you can begin to formulate a plan to get rid of it.

Garden Pests

Common Garden Pests in Newcastle

The most common garden pests in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley region include:

    Aphids- these pesky insects often feed on vegetables and fruits and can cause a lot of destruction in a small amount of time. The most common species of aphids in Australia include the cabbage aphid and cotton aphid.

    Beetles- there are over 30,000 different species of beetles in Australia. No matter the type, they can all cause a lot of damage to your garden. They can affect flowers, vegetation, fruit, and some can even bite.

    Caterpillars- these are the larval phase of moths or butterflies. Unfortunately, these pests tend to eat plants, stems, and leaves.  The most common species in Australia include the cabbage white caterpillar.

    Mites- mite infestations are often hard to diagnose because they resemble other pests, such as ticks and spiders. They can affect fruit trees, vegetables, shrubs, and even flowers.

    Slugs & Snails- these garden nuisances love organic matter. They can leave huge holes in your garden, eat flowers and leaves, and even kill plants.

Different Ways to Eliminate Garden Insect Pests

There are a few methods that can be used to get rid of garden pests. Some natural ways to get control garden bugs include:

  •     Keeping garden organised and clean
  •     Controlling weeds
  •     Killing slugs or snails
  •     Placing the bugs in soapy water

However, these pest control methods are very time consuming and do not eliminate a full infestation.

The most common method is using pesticides. However, pesticides can be dangerous to use if you’re unfamiliar with the products and how to use them correctly. Incorrect pesticide use can damage the environment and pose a threat to your family or pets.
