Learning how to fight ants and other bugs will be included in the February 26, 2020, Fix-It Wizard program, “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” to be presented by horticulturist Ellen Speicher. The talk will take place from 6:30-7:30 pm in the library’s Quaker Room which is located at 821 E. State St., Salem, OH 44460.
The program provides information about which insects are beneficial to your garden and which are pests. Aids in identifying both beneficial and pest insects will be shown. We will also look at insects that invade our homes and review safe control methods. Ways to attract beneficial insects to your garden will also be shared.
