Natural Pest Control In The Greenhouse
It’s time to get the greenhouse ready for spring here in northeast Oklahoma (zone 7a), beginning with pest control while the numbers are small. This video covers treatment of aphids, whiteflies and pill bugs. Regarding the latter, aside from cheap beer, small pieces of meat or cheese can be put in the cups, which I will do later after thinning the numbers greatly. The beer traps will begin to smell after a while and need to be cleaned out. That’s when the meat or cheese goes in, which has a lot less smell.
I didn’t mention caterpillars. They’re treated later after they emerge by spraying a biological insecticide on the leaves called bacillus thuringiensis which is safe for animals and very effective at killing caterpillars.
Will do more posts and videos on the greenhouse and gardens as the season progresses. You’re welcome to ask any questions you may have and offer suggestions.

Great post. Once thing I've learned in life is "Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs."
Hey @ppmsilver,
I would like to invite you to @APPICS as one of the first APPICS app testers!
APPICS is a new blockchain based social media application launching in Q2 this year. Similar to Steemit, users can earn cryptocurrency tokens for posting creative content, but different to Steemit, APPICS will be focusing on photos or videos instead of blogposts. With the APPICS app we give users the power to monetize time and creativity they spend on social media.
The app is currently in beta mode, running on the STEEM blockchain, so you can easily log in with your username and your private posting key as your password.
If you´re interested in joining APPICS, please send us an email at [email protected]
Feel free to visit our website Appics.com for further information.
I‘m looking forward to hear from you!
Best wishes,
Josephine
