Look up some sites on organic gardening and pest control. There are a
number of different methods. One is to use other insects to eat the pests.
For instance, some wasps eat certain caterpillars. Ladybugs eat aphids.
Japanese beetles can be trapped by using scent attractants. Some manually
kill a number of insects and then pulverize the corpses and spray them on
the plants in order to foster bug killing disease. Grubs can be controlled
by spreading gritty substances around the bases of the plants, or by
setting out bowls with beer that they drink and then drown in.
