I need some anti bug stuff please!!!

[Block]

Ok, so I don't want to use any chemicals against bugs and stuff, i am afraid mites will soon infect my plant, are there any ways to keep the bugs away, i heard of hot chili pepper juice around the plant helps, but what eats buds worms and bigger things. i know ladybugs might help.

 

[dirrtyd]

praying mantis or azatrol will work. for caterpillars use BT caterpillar spray or spinasod

There are quite a few things you can do to keep pests out. Is this an outdoor plant? If it is planting garlic next to the plant should help with flying insects. Also there are plenty of bugs you can use to kill off things. If its spider mites, there are nematodes that form a parasitic bond with the spidermites and kill it internally. Thats the extense of my knowledge of outdoor. If its an indoor plant stop worrying and keep temp, humidity at standard levels. If you do that you will not have problems.

it's an outdoor plant, nematodes are hunted by ladybugs right?

IT fights against mites far as i know. What I heard its small parasites that destroy them.

neem oil is an oil derived from a nut, it's got quite a strong odour to it, it works by coating the bug completely and suffocating it.

its effective against spider mites but less effective against other bugs,

pyrethrum is effective against a multitude of pests, you can buy it at a local garden centre,

I have had success with neem oil against the majority ofbugs out there. It doesnt completely eradicate them but def. Keeps them away...

I guess i am really going to have to stock up on this then.
(not dozens of it maybe just 1 for the whole year)
i dont think bug infestation will be very large however i hope it isn't i only have like 3 growing plants, 2 of which are seedlings i found outside in the front of my apartment, the other is still a seed

I had a BIG gnat problem, the stuff I used is organic also its called... huh? I cant remember... oh wait my high is running off oh wait now I remember its uh, uh, um... JK its called GONATS, I also fill a cup up 1/4 of apple cider vinegar and a splash of dish soap those gnats jump right in drink alittle bit and drown
For spider mites use neem oil or some rosemary...
GOOD LUCK
