I have used small amounts of vinegar in water to rid my plants of pests. What kind of pests is it? Or what do they look like?

Now I know this isn't a home remedy, but in my opinion I would get lady bugs. I think you can actually buy a few from a local nursery and then put them on your plants.


They're natures defense against the bugs that want to eat our little plants. Lol

Something that helps is using garlic skins and onion skins sprinkled onto the dirt. Pests cannot stand these two plants. So if you eat onions or garlic, then start saving your skins.

Also, you could try your hand growing onions or garlic nearby.
