Fig Beetles

Hi There,
While googling about the harmless fig beetle flying about recently I came across your web site. Your information was informative till you recommended pesticides if they were bothersome. Pray tell … why pesticides since they are harmless and really not all that bothersome? In this day & age with bees “collapsing” and other human made follies with plants and animals why in the world would you make such an unnecessary recommendation?

Everyone has a different method of control. Personally, I like to deter pests. You shouldn’t have to kill them if you would rather just deter them, right? There is always a way to deter pests without killing them. Sometimes all it takes is keeping them away in the first place. Using such natural solutions as: rosemary oil, garlic oil, neem oil, Black pepper suspension, coffee grounds ,Other plant based toxins, such as chrysanthemum leaf tea, and even Hot pepper extract, is a safe and ecologically friendly way to Keep pests away without harming the natural flow of things too badly. 🙂
