Providing habitat for pollinators in yards and gardens helps conserve these creatures in residential landscapes, and keeping this habitat pesticide-free is key to keeping the bees, butterflies, and other invertebrates that live there healthy. But pest issues can arise even in well-planned gardens. This guide walks readers through how to decide if an insect in the garden is an issue that needs to be managed, and provides examples of ecologically-friendly solutions. It also contains pest prevention tips and images of common garden insects at different life stages.
