I have a houseplant that has little bugs crawling in the dirt (I think they can fly too). I bought two garlic cloves. Do I follow the instructions as described in your link http://www.organicspringtime.com/organic-pests/home-organic-gardening-pesticides-part-1-40/ to rid them?

Thank you,
Jeff Girard

I have a question for an expert. We have several dead Zelkova trees in our neighborhood that died as a result of bark beetles that evidently attacked the 3-5 year old drought stressed trees. It has been recommended by the plant pathology lab that examined our samples that the remaining live trees be treated preventatively by saturating the bark with a chemical pesticide with Sevin in it. This would kill any beetles that might be under the bark when they chew their exit holes this spring. We wanted to know if anyone is aware of any less toxic biopesticide that we could use instead.
Thanks,
