Re: Bug and Pest Ridding Tips...
For slugs and snails, I use "Sluggo" (iron phosphate pellets) which are beneficial to plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish but deadly to mollusks.
For earwigs and other minor insect pests I use Evergreen EC-60 -- a certified organic pesticide containing 6% distilled extract of African Chrysanthemums (pyrethrin) and 60% distilled extract of sassafras (piperonyl butoxide), plus water and a plant oil surfactant. I don't mind having a few bugs around, and in fact a few earwigs in your garden is a good thing. But typically every three to four weeks I notice the population growing and spray all of my nursery plants (over 4,000).
