Homemade Organic Bug Killers???!!!???

I just planted carrots, cantaloup,watermelon,strawberries, and oregon snow peas. I have them in raised beds. I can see bug holes in the melon dirt mounds! There are earwigs, ants of all different breeds, spiders,and lord only knows what some of the other bugs are.

My beds are surrounded with river rock, the bugs crawl under the rocks and makes nests in the mulch and dirt underneath.

What can I do to kill these bugs before they kill my garden???!!!???

(I also have pets, so it needs to be non-toxic)

Planting marigolds around and thru out your garden will help. Also, as your plants flower, deadhead them(snap the flowers off) and put them in a jar of water in the sun. In a few days or so, spray the water thru out your garden also. This also is a good remedy for any backyard activities you might have such as BB Q's, etc.



Also, releasing ladybugs will help control many of the bugs in your garden. You can buy them from your local nursery and they are very inexpensive
Reply:Soapy Water Use Dish Soap in a spray bottle spray the plants directly if there are slugs use Salt
Reply:Years ago, we grew tomatoes and they had to be organic due to health problems. We were told to use tobacco juice. We got a can of the loose leaf tobacco (Prince Edward or something like that!) and boiled a gallon of water and "brewed" some of the loose tobacco leaves in it (made it look like coffee though) then strained it into a spray bottle and sprayed it on. It is best to water your plants first, and then spray the plants thoroughly. It is something you need at least once or twice a week. If it rains, you need to respray. Worked very well for us!

Reply:nicotine is a natural insecticide. get some old ciggy butts and put into water, let stand(sorta like making sun tea). strain out the floaters and pour into sprayer. it will smell bad.
