Identifying and Managing Pests

Organic gardening brings with it many challenges and issues as far as dealing with pests. When we choose to garden organically and regeneratively, we make a vow to ourselves and the ecosystem around us not to use harmful pesticides and inhumane practices. The reason we garden organically is because we care about the environment around us and want to foster ecologically balanced gardens that not only support our personal needs but do minimal harm to wildlife in the process.

However, there are situations where a nuanced approach is needed. In situations where pest pressure is so high that it could damage property or human health, further action is required. For example, if a family of raccoons invades your attic, you will have to take action. In situations such as these, it is important to understand what your local regulations and options are. Consult with local experts.
