What is Organic Pesticides?
Organic pesticides are natural substances used to
control pests in gardening and agriculture. Made
from plant extracts, minerals, or microbial
organisms, they target pests while minimizing
harm to beneficial insects and the
environment. Examples include neem oil and
insecticidal soaps. They provide a sustainable
alternative to synthetic chemical pesticides,
promoting ecological balance and human health.

Neem Oil
Pyrethrin
Diatomaceous Earth
Emanated from the neem tree, it disrupts the life
cycle of pests and acts as a repellent.
Made from chrysanthemum flowers, it quickly kills
various garden pests when in contact.
Composed of fossilized remains of diatoms, it
acts as a mechanical pesticide, dehydrating and
killing pests.

Soap-based Insecticides
Spinosad
Kaolin Clay
These disrupt insects' cell membranes, causing
them to dehydrate and die. They're effective
against soft-bodied pests like aphids and mites.
Derived from soil bacteria, it's effective
against caterpillars, thrips, and other pests
while less harmful to beneficial insects.
When sprayed on plants, it forms a protective
barrier against pests like beetles, thrips, and
leafhoppers while protecting against sunburn and
heat stress.

Bacillus thuringiensis
Garlic Spray
Essential Oils
A naturally ensuing soil bacterium that produces
toxins lethal to certain pests, such as
caterpillars and mosquito larvae, while being
safe for humans and beneficial insects.
Made by blending garlic cloves with water and a
small dish soap, it repels and kills various
pests such as aphids, caterpillars, and beetles.
Essential oils like peppermint, rosemary, and
thyme can be diluted with water and sprayed on
plants to repel pests such as ants, aphids, and
spiders.
