Here’s a good reason not to use chemical pesticides on your flowers and veggies: while they kill predatory insects, they’ll also poison the beneficial insects, like bees, that pollinate your plants. You may well end up with more seeds and fruit if you avoid using pesticides. For more information on organic pest control, see this page.

If you do use pesticides, we recommend our organic and natural pest control products. Many of these only work when sprayed directly onto the insect, so you can be careful what you spray it on and avoid hurting beneficial bugs.
