Okay, imagine you’re in your garden, and you see those pesky insects eating your favorite plants again. What do you do? Don’t worry; we’re going to learn some amazing ways to stop them!
These methods are like superhero moves that help protect our plants from harmful insects.
Imagine you have a magical bug net. When you put it around your garden, it keeps the naughty insects away, just like a shield! 🦟✨
Ways to Controlling Harmful Insects
Have you ever seen a scarecrow in a field? 🌾 It wears funny clothes and scares away birds. We can make scarecrows for our garden too, and they can help keep the bad insects away.
But wait, there’s more! We can also use something called “companion planting.” It’s like inviting good insect friends to our garden party!
Think of it like this – imagine you love having pizza, but you don’t like spicy sauce. So, you invite your friend who loves spicy sauce to your party. Now, you both have a great time! 🍕🌶️
Some plants, like marigolds, have a special smell that naughty insects don’t like. When we plant marigolds near our other plants, it’s like inviting a friend who keeps away the bad insects.
Today, we learned some super cool ways to control harmful insects: using bug nets, scarecrows, and inviting good insect friends to our garden.
