Manual Removal and Traps

4
  1. Solution: Physically remove pests by handpicking or using traps.
  2. Explanation: Handpick larger insects like beetles and hornworms and drop them into soapy water. Use sticky traps for flying insects like whiteflies, or beer traps (shallow dishes of beer) sunk into the soil for slugs and snails. Water jets can dislodge aphids and spider mites.
  3. Notes: Best suited for smaller infestations or larger, easily visible pests. Requires regular inspection.
