When an infestation of aphids, mealy bugs or other common garden pest appears in our gardens it is tempting to look for a quick fix such as a chemical spray.

But a better solution is to work towards a balance where nature is doing most of the work for us. Attracting beneficial insects is a major part of creating a balanced ecosystem in our gardens that does not require expensive and sometimes toxic chemicals.

A healthy garden is good for conservation because it can help increase numbers of native insects, lizards and birds.

“The main things to remember are to provide places for insects to live”
