The word INSECT makes many to visualize a creepy, crawly, ugly and dirty looking creature in the surroundings.
Without this creature, farming and gardening cannot be successful. Most flowering plants and crops rely on insects to carry their pollen from one flower to another. Besides honeybees and butterflies, moths, beetles, flies and many more insects play an important role in cross-pollination.

A person who begins an urban garden may encounter some problems due to pests. A basic understanding of pests in the garden, and natural ways to manage it will make your gardening venture successful.
