The best natural Insecticide is burning neem leaves in ur garden it keeps the harmful insects away however doesnt kill the earthworms
sevin. you could use that or plant things that naturally keep pests away.
D.E. – (diatomateous earth) is a wonderful powder that deters any kind of crawly thing and is completely natural.
You can buy it at any garden store in small boxes or from the pool supply store in large bags (cheaper by the pound!)
As with all killing agents, please use selectively, so as not to kill any more creatures than necessary.

Malathion is a good one. Not very toxic to people and will not last a long time. Have to wait about a week before you can eat the food. All that is on the label.
Sevin is good too. Make sure not to mix it to strong because it will burn the leaves in the sun. It also can cause a mite problem if you use it all the time. The neat thing about seven is your can enter the spray zone as soon as it drys and eat the food one day after you spray it.
