Fall can be a bountiful time in a vegetable garden, full of rich pickings for hearty seasonal meals. But at the same time, pests regularly nibble on your fruits and vegetables as they look for food, and it is always disappointing to lose crops.
I have grown edibles for many years, and personally had hole-ridden kale courtesy of caterpillars, apples damaged by maggots, and pumpkins tarnished by unwanted visitors to the plot. If you are trying to avoid nibbled salad crops, munched vegetables, or fruits with an unwanted hidden surprise inside, fall pest control doesn't need to be difficult.
