This is a template of sorts...
[edit] Barriers
Barriers prevent the pest from reaching the plant.
[edit] Repellents
Repellents are chemicals (or plants containing those chemicals) that make the pest avoid the plant.
[edit] Physical removal
Physical removal means removing the pests by hand, crushing them, blasting them with water, vacuuming them up, etc.
[edit] Trap crops
Trap crops are plants that the pest prefers over the plants you are trying to protect.
[edit] Poisons
Poisons are chemicals that kill the pest. Most poisons are specific.
