The Biological pesticides usually don’t have toxic effects on animals and people?
Here are a couple of very effective natural pesticides:
One bio-pesticide is Neem oil, extracted from the fruit of the Neem tree. Not only is it a pesticide, but formulations made of Neem oil also find wide usage as a bio-pesticide for organic farming, as it repels a wide variety of pests including the mealy bug, beet armyworm, aphids, the cabbage worm, thrips, whiteflies, mites, fungus gnats, beetles, moth larvae, mushroom flies, leafminers, caterpillers, locust, nematodes and the Japanese beetle.
Neem Oil is not known to be harmful to mammals, birds, earthworms or some beneficial insects such as butterflies, honeybees and ladybugs.
It can be used as a household pesticide for ant, bedbug, cockroach, housefly, sand fly, snail, termite and mosquitoes both as repellent and larvicide.
Neem oil also controls black spot, powdery mildew, anthracnose and rust (fungus).
Another natural pesticide is Diatomaceous Earth, a powder-like dust made of the silica remains of microscopic marine organisms called diatoms.
It is effective on soft-bodied insects as well as snails and slugs. If you spread it on top of the soil, it works by cutting and irritating these insects. It doesn't harm other organisms. You can also put out shallow dishes of beer to trap snails and slugs.
There are many other natural pesticides. Check out the links below for more detailed information if you wish:
