Tis the season for flying insects and unwanted critters messing with the harmony retreat you’ve created in your yard.  How do you discourage unwanted visitors from your yard?

I recently came across a lively discussion on the benefits of hanging a bag of water from your trees to discourage bugs.  If you have time to read the string of more than 120 comments ( you have too much time on your hand) you’ll get a chuckle, as I did.  Though I only read about 1/3 of the comments. 

However, seriously - what do you use to keep the bugs at bay?

Harry Kipper has written an article entitled How to Defend a Garden from Pests that offers a variety of tips for reducing the number of pests in your yard.  I like the fact that he offers organic solutions, even using the concept of “survival of the fittest” in his suggestions - using larger pests to control the smaller ones.

How do you remove the threat of pests?
