We have chinch bugs, grubs, spiders, ants, mole crickets, grasshoppers, locusts, etc in our yard- I just planted a bunch of berries earlier this year plus we have quite a few citrus trees, and I would like to know if there is a way to control the pests without hurting the bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, or other beneficials in the process. (yes, I do know spiders are considered beneficial to most but I'm terribly afraid of them and the ones we get are huge, so they sure aren't benficials to me- you are more than welcome to include products that will off them!) Thank you!
We would recommend using Deltagard G Granules. They are labeled for various pests, including the ones you are treating for. It is an insecticide so it may harm beneficial pollinators.
