Does anyone have home remedies for bugs in the flower garden?

I buy lady bugs to eat aphids, and praying mantis egg sacks to eat the bigger stuff. I do the ladies two weeks before so they are dispersed before I bring in the mantises.

You can buy them at any nursery. They take care of everything chemical free.

Good Luck.

I don't get it--you probably have years of experience with flower gardens. You did not tell us what bugs or what kind of flowers. All I can say it SEVEN.
Reply:Diatemacious Earth-fossilized single cell organisns. Used in swimming pool filters and in vegetable and flower gardens for the irritation it causes bugs. The fossils are like little mini razor blades to the bugs so they are cut to smithereens....oh....not really. It just irritates them and disrupts their feeding and comfort so many of them just move on down the road. Good organic method of pest control. I use it in my garden. If you use it, do not put directly on the flower itself as you don't want to drive away bees and butterflies!
Reply:For slugs lay a small jam jar lid and pour beer or lager into it. Or you could be cruel and lay down salt or crushed egg shells. That all keeps them away. And they are all environmentally friendly.
