Integrated Pest Management Solutions

A Better Way to Deal With Garden Problems

We practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM), an approach to pest control that prioritizes natural, preventive, and lower-impact solutions before turning to chemical treatments.

It starts with figuring out what’s causing the problem. From there, the solution might be to improve watering practices, remove affected plant material, use companion planting, install a physical barrier, choose a more resistant plant, or use an organic treatment. When those options aren’t enough, a more targeted treatment may be the right next step.

Common Problems We Can Help With

  • Deer & Animals

    Deer, rabbits and other hungry visitors can do a number on a garden. Find repellents, netting and physical barriers, or ask our staff about plants that are less appealing to deer.

  • Insects & Mites

    Seeing holes, discoloration or tiny unwanted guests? Proper identification matters. We carry organic and conventional treatment options and can help you determine what you're dealing with before you treat it.

  • Fungus & Plant Problems

    Not every struggling plant has a pest. Watering, growing conditions and disease can cause similar symptoms, which is why we recommend identifying the problem before reaching for a treatment.

  • Weeds

    From garden beds to lawns, we carry products for controlling unwanted growth, with different options depending on where the weeds are growing and what else is planted nearby.
