I. Importance of natural method of pest control
The problem with broad range conventional pesticides is that they not only kill the bad bugs, but they rub out the good bugs, too. A garden without natural predators means a world of insects gone wild. There's nothing left to keep pest levels in check. In fact, chemicals can mean double trouble because although you wipe out the first wave of pests, the second wave which is not the usual pest, but another insect moving into the area can cause even greater losses than the insects you were trying to get rid of in the first place. Another reason to go natural and use beneficials, is that a greater number of insects are now showing resistance to chemical pesticides. For

Ground Coffee: Leftover coffee grounds make great ingredients to compost. They work as natural pesticides and literally "perk up" ailing plants. Place the grounds into the soil surrounding your plants. The acidity of the coffee is what keeps invaders at bay.
Vegetable oil: If mildew, mold or fungus is a problem, heres a solution you can spray right on the plant that makes a big difference in a very short time. Combine a gallon of water, a tablespoon of baking soda and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Put into a spray bottle and mist plants from top to bottom even in places where there are no signs of a problem.
Dish Washing Liquid: If a fungus has invaded your plants, mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid and water and wipe it down. You'll be surprised how quickly this will rejuvenate sickly looking plants!
Egg: To get rid of snails and slugs in your garden, add crushed eggshells to your soil. To them, its walking on glass, so snails and slugs will tend to avoid the area entirely. If slugs are a continuing problem, a few pinches of salt will make quick work of them.
C. Physical Method
Time consuming but very natural, this method consists of many things you can physically do to control bugs and other pests. Picking grubs
Stachybotrys Chartarum or more commonly known as Black Mold is by definition a possibly toxic mold that can produce toxins called mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are produced by specific strains of mold which when found in food can cause foodborne illness, which in some cases may become fatal.

Despite the fact that many people do have mold allergies, this isn’t an allergic it is a reaction to trichothecene that is brought into your body by an outside source, breaking cells down.

Frankly, one trend in the data that was noticed was that, the more common the pesticide is, the cheaper it is. However, the more chemical related it is, the more expensive, and harmful it is. For instance, Merit 75 WSP was the most expensive, and affected the environment by killing pollinators and causing plants to wilt faster. Another trend that was noticed was that grubs are most common around Summer, and Early Fall along with the fact that people have to apply the pesticides in early spring before the grubs start to feast upon the lawns. In fact, the pesticides have to be applied in early spring because that is when the grubs awaken, and start to feed again. This, then, prevents the beetles from laying more eggs, and kills off the remaining grubs.

Baking soda is a very useful ingredient which has the quality of treating bacteria. Mix baking soda in rose water to make a paste and apply it on the infected area. It can actually stop the bacterial infection to spread and helps in healing
rhodochrous’s success in white-nose syndrome prevention began as a research project on the conservation of edible fruit for maximum sustainability in agriculture. Researchers knew that the Rhodoccus genus of bacterium were particularly useful in preventing fungi to spread. To induce R. rhodochrous’s enzyme production, researchers allowed the bacterium to thrive in a perfect environment where the enzyme production would be at it’s peak, enabling the anti-fungal properties (Inman and LaTina 2014). The 6 volatile organic compounds discovered in total interact with P. destructans by inhibiting the growth of the hyphae, the filamentous structure that grows in fungi (Cornelison et. al). Inhibiting the source of growth for P. destructans slows down the destructive and painful spread of the disease, making it possible for bats to survive hibernation and for the fungi to disappear altogether. Despite the VOCs not killing P. destructans, it will eventually die on it’s own without any hyphae growth. [HOW DOES THE CURRENT TREATMENT OF BATS FOR THIS DISEASE WORK?] [HOW HAS IT BEEN SUCCESSFUL?] [WHY WAS IT SUCCESSFUL?] [SHORT DISCUSSION] A concern for both scientists and conservationists alike is the rapid spread of white-nose syndrome across the United States’ northeast region. Proactively using VOCs in bat caves that are affected with white-nose syndrome has not occurred yet, but doing so will defend those caves from the fungi
Got Beer? Another homemade remedy to get rid of bothersome garden slugs is to use some beer. It's really quite simple and pretty inexpensive. Just place a low pie tin near the plants in your vegetable or flower garden. Pour about a half inch of beer into the tin. The garden slugs will be attracted to the beer, and they'll climb into it. But, once inside, they'll be trapped! After you've trapped a number of slugs, you'll need to dump the beer and replace it with fresh brew. 3. Recycle Eggshells for Your Garden Garden slugs crawl everywhere they go. And because they crawl, they won't cross over certain rough materials, such as eggshells. You can recycle eggshells for your garden to get rid of bothersome garden slugs. Just break up the shells so they're in small pieces. Then, place the pieces around vegetable or flower plants you want to protect. 4. Household Ammonia to the Rescue Fill a spray bottle half way up with tap water. Then, fill the rest of the bottle with household ammonia. Replace the sprayer and shake the bottle gently to mix. Spray this homemade solution directly on garden slugs to eradicate them. Don't worry, the ammonia won't hurt your vegetable or flower plants. In fact, it helps fertilize
