Whiteflies Carry Disease that Can Ruin Your Garden


Whiteflies are harmless to humans, but they carry a number of diseases that can infect plants and can carry diseases from one plant to the next. When you combine this with their feeding and mold propagation, whiteflies become deadly to a garden or vegetable patch.  They do have many natural predators, such as ladybugs, so if your garden is lacking natural predators it may also be missing other vital nutrients that attract them. A pest management program for whiteflies is multifaceted. You can’t simply spray your garden with chemicals and hope that it kills whiteflies. The chemicals you can get at your local garden center don’t always work on these problem pests. Even worse, you could be killing more than the whiteflies. When it’s time to protect your garden from pests like these, it’s time to contact Slug-A-Bug at 321-259-7844 https://goo.gl/bHhQKH

Should You Be Concerned About Fire Ants


What is a Fire Ant, and what is it doing in your yard? Fire Ants originate from Brazil, but they were brought here in the 1930s. They hitched a ride via cargo into Alabama. They’re aggressive and territorial, so they spread quickly in the South. If they’re in your yard, it’s only a matter of time before you start getting them in your home, too. Fire Ant removal is a must.

Contact Slug-A-Bug about getting rid of fire ants in your yard. We’re happy to help.
