Pests are insects that eat crops, food and plants etc. The pests I am talking about today are the ones that attack our plants. They eat them and put little holes in them to mark what they have eaten. It's either that, or they eat the tiny little bugs that are ON the plant.
The common plants that get attacked are ones that are stressed, crowded, or weak plants. They are the ones that attract most pests.
Even though these creatures are harming our plants, they are also helpful as the pollen on the flower or plant rubs off onto the bug and then the bugs carries it to another place, which it then gets fertilised allowing it to reproduce.
Pest spray, pest poison, toxic fumes are some ways to control pests. But if you are going to use SPRAY then it is likely to be absorbed into the plant which is no good for it, but the the insect takes a bite into the sap, they are killed.
You could kill the insects by giving them pest poison which they will eat and will also die instantly.
Toxic Fumes can also be used to suffocate them also until they are killed.
These are only some ways to kill your pests as there are many more efficient ways to kill them off.
There are also ways to keep the plant healthy and get rid of the pests.
