Keeping Caterpillars Out of Your Garden: Effective Methods and Natural Solutions

Learn effective methods and natural solutions for keeping caterpillars out of your garden. Identify the specific type of caterpillar you are dealing with, as different methods are required for different types. For cutworms, use strips of plastic cups or toilet paper rolls to protect young plants. Using sterile soil for seedlings can also prevent cutworms. Handpick tomato hornworms and dispose of them in soapy water or the garbage. Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars should be moved to a different location away from your garden. Protect brassicas from cabbage moth caterpillars by covering plants with translucent fabric or row covers. Check plants frequently for caterpillar eggs and remove them. Encourage birds to visit your yard by providing bird feeders and birdbaths. Use strongly scented herbs like mugwort, sage, thyme, rosemary, and peppermint to deter caterpillars. Consider using organic controls like Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) to keep pests out of your yard.
