There are multiple ways to approach pest management in a greenhouse. The choices of practices we adopt can directly impact the population of pest and the environment both inside and outside of the greenhouse. Putting traps and using beneficial insects are two examples of methods having a reduced negative impact on the environment outside the greenhouse.
Creating a physical barrier from the outside can also help, especially when certain gardening and farming activities are happening close to the greenhouse.
