It’s been a while since I’ve contributed to the site. I’ve been a bit of a hiatus, working on a new contributor inclusion system and a new business model. But that’s neither here nor there. You’re here to figure out how to get rid of flea beetles. It’s not easy, my friend. Flea beetles are one of the harder garden pests to control because of the variety, resilience, and mobility of these tiny beetles. In this particular article, I’ve attempted to cover the basics of non-toxic, organic flea beetle control. It’s important to keep in mind that the techniques detailed here aren’t just applicable to a flea beetle infestation. Most of these pest control strategies are what we call cultural controls. They’ve been used for a very long time to promote healthy gardens. In other words, much of the information in this article is common knowledge–things that a green thumb probably knows already.

If you’ve got any comments or suggestions, I would post them in the Gardening Forum.
