If you see signs of insect pests on garden plants you might be tempted to reach for a chemical pesticide. Don’t. It might eliminate your pest problems but also will threaten beneficial insects that pollinate plants and keep pests under control. AP gardening columnist Jessica Damiano recommends integrated pest management. First, be willing to tolerate a little leaf-munching and other signs of pest presence. It you need to escalate, choose the most benign method of control possible. Often a strong stream of hose water works. If not, take baby steps. Consider insecticidal soap, a nontoxic pesticide that’s safe for most plants if used properly. Read directions carefully. And as a rule, prevention is the best treatment. Space plants properly and watch them carefully.
