how do I stop insects from eating my mint plant ?

Answer 1

Use your mint in Mojitos by muttling them. They don't drink them but you can enjoy them. They are delicious with gin or vodka.

But if by mint you meant "prestine condition" and by plant you meant "mass production facility", then this is a much different story.

Seriously, Home Depot sells some cheap stuff you can sprinkle around the soil to get rid of them. I doubt that flying insects are your problem so that should work.

Answer 2

You might try garlic oil mixed with water misted onto the plants, but this doesn't work with all insects. If it is an indoor plant, insecticide appropriate to the insect infestation would be your best solution. Do not harvest or use the plant in food after treatment.

If the plant is an outdoor type and not an indoor potted plant, you should avoid the insecticide. Instead, try to introduce other insects to the plants, like ladybugs or praying manti. You can purchase ladybugs or mantis egg cases from plant supply stores or on-line, but they will only ship to your area during certain months of the year.

Answer 3

try moth balls in a circle bout 5 to 10 inchs from the mint plant it should keep most bugs from it

Answer 4

There are different types of herbs that if you plant them near different vegetables they keep the bugs at bay but sorry i don't know what they are (maybe garlic might work but not sure)
maybe if you ring a herb garden mob up they will know
i don't know where on the net you could look

Answer 5

There are some organic and organic oils or perhaps soaps that would properly be sprayed directly to evade pests. to boot you may get woman bugs that consume aphids in the event that they are the issue. bypass to the nursery and that they're going to aid you.

Answer 6

negotiate

Answer 7
