1. Plant a diverse range of flowers and plants that attract beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, lacewings, and hoverflies.
2. Provide a water source for beneficial insects by adding a birdbath or shallow dish of water in your garden.
3. Avoid using chemical pesticides or herbicides, which can harm beneficial insects and disrupt the balance of your garden's ecosystem.

To attract beneficial insects to your garden for natural pest control, plant a variety of flowers, herbs, and shrubs that provide nectar and pollen. Examples include dill, fennel, and lavender. Avoid pesticides and use companion planting to promote biodiversity. Provide habitats for beneficial insects by creating a brush pile or installing insect hotels.
