Any creepy crawly thing with six legs is an insect. They share similar life stages, going from egg to larva to adult. Of course, from your point of view, spiders are bugs, too, even though they're not insects, but arachnids.
Bugs can do tremendous damage in your garden. Even worse, they taste terrible. Keep your garden lush and delicious by controlling problem insects. General–purpose bug controls designed for use on edible plants can take care of most of them.
When it comes to food, bugs aren't stupid. They love succulent vegetables as much as you do. To find the most effective treatment, it helps to know what's eating up your garden. Are your seedlings being eaten up at night? Maybe you have cutworms. Are your plants' leaves looking like lace? Sounds like Japanese beetles. Look around and see what's there. Finding an effective treatment is easy.
For beetles, aphids, leafhoppers, and other nasties, use a product that is effective on your vegetable plants, such as Ortho® Bug B Gon MAX® Lawn & Garden Insect Killer Ready-To-Spray. Ortho® Elementals™ Insecticidal Soap, which kills listed insects fast. Ortho® Elementals™ Garden Insect Killer kills mites, whiteflies, aphids, and other listed insects. You can use either of these on vegetable plants up to the day of harvest.
Everyone loves a midnight snack, especially some garden pests. Some of them aren't even bugs. Snails and slugs are mollusks. Other night owls in your garden include cutworms. You can control them with products designed for mollusks and bugs, such as Ortho® Bug Geta® Plus Snail, Slug & Insect Killer.
These bugs protect themselves with a coating of semi–digested sap. That makes them hard to spray. You can treat them with a systemic bug control. It's absorbed through the plant to attack the bug as it eats.
