Birds are perfect ways to help keep those destructive pests from destroying your garden. One of the best ways to attract them over to your garden is by leaving a bit of extra food. After they are done with that they will go and pick at bugs in your garden.
Use a mixture of black sunflower seeds and millets, this mixture will attract insect eating birds like jays, robins, and wrens.
You can also try using birdbaths and birdhouses with the correct size entry to keep birds nearby. The longer they are around, they more insects they will eat.
Ladybugs
Planting common zinnias in your garden will attract ladybugs, who feed on aphids. Plant zinnias all over your garden, especially vegetable gardens to protect your greens like broccoli and cauliflower.
