In our area, our plants are faced with the possibility of many different types of insect and/or disease problems.  From a host of fungal diseases, to Japanese beetles, to gypsy moth caterpillars, we central Pennsylvanians are no strangers to the need to control pests in our lawn and landscape.  For years, we have turned to chemical insecticides and fungicides to deal with these problems, but little is known about the long term effects of the use of these chemicals.  Their overuse can also cause pollution and facilitates the need to use them in increasing amounts as insects become resistant to them.

At The Plant Place, we know a many organic solutions to common pest problems.  We monitor the seasons and weather conditions to keep an eye out for favorable conditions for insect outbreaks and have a variety of safer, natural methods to combat these outbreaks.  We also work with biological controls such as ladybugs, praying mantis, and beneficial nematodes as pest control methods.
