Greenhouse Pest Control Tips

Controlling pests in a greenhouse requires a careful balance of prevention and management to protect your plants and maintain a healthy growing environment.

The most effective approach starts with regular monitoring, spotting signs of infestation early and removing affected leaves or plants before pests can spread. Integrated pest management is recommended, this means using biological controls like ladybugs or predatory mites to keep troublesome insects such as aphids under control naturally, rather than relying solely on chemical pesticides.

Ventilation and cleanliness are crucial; always keep greenhouse surfaces clean, remove plant debris promptly, and avoid standing water to deter fungus gnats and other common greenhouse pests. If you do use pesticides, opt for eco-friendly or OMRI-certified products in limited, targeted applications to reduce risks to beneficial insects and your crops.
