There are two scientific facts you need to understand to have a healthy perspective about dealing with pest insects in your yard.

Fact Number One - Over 95% of all the insects born in your yard die within the first year because of weather or being eaten by songbirds, ants, spiders, ground beetles, and other beneficial insects. If you have a healthy ecosystem in your yard, the pest insect problems are few and not terribly serious.

Fact Number Two - Virtually every time a pest insect attacks a plant in your yard, that plant was in a state of stress BEFORE the insect arrived. Pest insects seldom bother healthy plants. So the best way to control pest insect problems is to find all the ways you can to have very healthy plants.
