As I always refused to use poisonous products in my garden I found the solution in introducing toads in my garden. They are really great predators of these pests. My garden is an ideal habitat for them, being mainly half and full shadow with a lot of hibernating places and a place to procreate; a small pond is sufficient. My community is flourishing and I have hundreds of them by now in all sizes. Other good predators are birds, frogs and newts but the best of all is the toad. |
