Thanks for reading my blog :-) I don't buy commercial products for pest control. (I use the recipes in the "concoctions" section of my blog.) That said, read the product label very carefully. If you spray your plants, you're spraying the soil as well and you don't want to kill beneficial ground-dwelling bees etc. Also, there are many caterpillars and larvae that will become beneficial pollinators in your garden. You don't want to harm their already dwindling numbers. I suggest trying an organic repellent. Hi! Thanks for reading my blog I don’t buy commercial products for pest control.

I'm glad winter is almost over, but I'm not looking forward to the insects that warmer months bring. What insect control do you use? I found this organic bug spray on google, but I wanted someone's input: http://www.saferbrand.com/store/garden-care/5102 Nice pictures!

I'd rather be taking pictures of spring bulbs, songbirds and sunshine!
