Tips to Reduce
Pesticide Use

Hawthorn does not use pesticides all that often. There are a number of ways to reduce the use of pesticides: 

Plant Native Species
They are more resistant
to pest problems because
they have evolved under
local environmental
conditions. We encourage
this by incorporating native species into our clients' yards. Start by adding one or two native plants to your existing gardens. 

 

Make Natural Pest
Enemies Welcome

Toads, dragonflies, nematodes, bats, numerous species of birds and other insects are your natural allies in pest control.

Use Mypex
We encourage clients to use Mypex, which will hinder the growth of weeds and require less usage of herbicides.
