Organic pest control

No doubt you've heard of simple methods of organic pest control, like using beer to catch grubs, or cayenne pepper to protect planted bulbs. Integrated pest management (IPC) allows gardeners to utilize complimentary planting instead of pesticides to manage pests. This can include the use of organic pesticides. You can order a "Pesticide Free Zone" yard sign at the Safer Pest Control Project website. Go to "yards and parks". (Adobe Acrobat is required.)
