Springtime Pest Control: Keep Your Farm & Garden Naturally Protected

When the weather warms up, so do the bugs. From fire ants in your yard to aphids on your tomatoes, spring is when pests start creeping, crawling, and chewing their way onto your property. But don’t worry—we’ve got solutions.

At Walker’s Feed and Farm Supply, we know that every farm and backyard is a little different. That’s why we offer a wide range of pest control options—from all-natural to heavy-duty—so you can protect your plants and animals the way that works best for you.

1. Start Early

The best time to fight pests is before they become a problem. A proactive approach saves money and keeps your garden or livestock stress-free.

2. Garden Invaders: Who to Watch For

• Aphids – These tiny green or black bugs love to suck the life out of tender spring leaves. Neem oil or insecticidal soap can knock them out fast.

• Cutworms – These underground pests attack young seedlings at the base. Use collars or diatomaceous earth around your plants to stop them.

• Squash bugs & beetles – Hand-pick or trap early. Companion planting with herbs like basil or marigold helps deter them naturally.

3. Livestock Pest Control

• Flies – Nothing irritates livestock more than flies. Spring is the time to break the breeding cycle. We carry fly sprays, feed-through solutions, and fly traps that actually work.

• Mites & Lice – Do regular checks, especially in chickens and goats. Our dust treatments and natural oils help keep things under control.

• Fire Ants – Use mound treatments that are safe around animals and kids. We’ve got both organic and traditional formulas in stock.

4. Barn & Coop Protection

Keep bedding dry, remove old feed, and seal cracks to prevent pests from setting up shop indoors. Our selection of barn-safe sprays and traps help keep things tidy and pest-free.

5. Natural Solutions for Peace of Mind

Looking to go chemical-free? We’ve got natural oils, food-safe sprays, beneficial bugs (yes, really!), and pest-repelling plants to keep your space protected and eco-friendly.

Pest control doesn’t have to be a headache. Come visit Walker’s and we’ll help you build a plan that protects your garden, animals, and peace of mind—all season long.
