Seasonal Ideas and Information for October
Natural Garden Pest Control

Ladybugs eating aphids on our milkweed at the nursery
|
"Pick a pest and you can usually find a natural control for it.
Natural pest control is less expensive than buying and applying pesticides, and it's safer for your garden, your family, the natural wildlife and the environment."
"Each year North American homes use approximately 136 million pounds of pesticides on lawns and gardens, and in the home. In fact, homeowners use about three times the amount of pesticides as farmers. Most wildlife pest poisonings, and most surface water contamination from pesticides, come from single-family homes."

Save Our Citrus
Citrus Greening, also known as Huanglongbing
(HLB), is a devastating disease of citrus.
The
disease affects the production and quality of the
fruit.
There is no cure for greening and the
infected trees eventually die.
Causal Agent
Greening is caused by Candidatus Liberibacter
bacteria transmitted by psyllids.
