Pre treat the area you're in with an insecticide. Walmart has the hose end insecticides for bigger areas. Just hook up to a hose, work for ticks too, spray plants with insecticide before planting. Chicken wire, and mouse or rat traps for varmits. Deer is another story, very hard to control. Pee or collect your urine to sprinkle around plants .

Right on Jim Nirvana!!! I would never use chemicals myself nor would I recommend them to anyone else. Ladybugs, praying mantis and other plants are 100% the way to go if you care about what you are going to put into your body and those that you share your bud with
