Garden Pest Control & Disease Solutions

Prevention and Control

Don’t allow insects, weeds or disease ruin all of your hard work! The variety of results can be overwhelming, but our experts are trained to help you find a solution to all of your insect, weed and disease problems. Since 1919, we’ve been working hard to help Midwest gardeners get rid of their gardens’ uninvited guests.

Garden Insect Control

The easiest way to prevent insect damage in your garden is to discourage them from coming in the first place. A healthy garden is the best defense. When your garden has become compromised, we suggest Earl May Earth RX Houseplant and Insect Spray which is a natural-based product that controls a wide range of insects indoors and out. Exposed adult insects quickly killed on contact after spraying. This product contains canola oil so it will kill the exposed eggs and larvae of immature insects as well. Earth Rx is a great product to use outdoors on all ornamental plants and garden crops. It can even be safely used right up to the day of harvest on many vegetable crops including tomatoes.

Deer, Rodent and Mole Control

While insects prove to be the more problematic garden pests, those dealing with larger headaches like deer and rodents find themselves with the same need for solutions. Earl May has you covered. Stop into a location and ask one of our friendly staff to show you the products we have to rid of these larger garden pests.

Weed Control

Weeds can kill a gardener’s enthusiasm! It’s important to control weeds while they are small and before they get out of control. The best methods to control weeds in your garden include hand-pulling, cultivation and mulching. Additionally, there are several weed-preventing products available at your local Earl May. Stop by and one of our experts will show you the options.

Garden Disease Solutions

Healthy soils and correct growing conditions are the best ways to prevent many plant diseases from occurring. But if you notice wilting, mold, rust, blotches, scabs or decaying tissue on your garden plants it’s time to take a sample to your local Earl May where one of our staff members will help you find the proper solution.
