Drenching all the plants in the garden with pesticides is a sure way to eliminate the beneficial insects that are so helpful in keeping pests under control. A much better approach is minimum usd of pesticides, delaying application until a pest becomes a problem. By careful use fewer predator insects will be eliminated, thus allowing nature to assist you in keeping harmful insects within bounds. It is unrealistic to try to eliminate all insects on the lot. It simply cannot be done. Only a few of them cause injury to plants, many are highly beneficial and all should be treated as natural components of our environment, not as destructive enemies. Discourage the competitors when necessary but be kind to and learn to live with all others. Bugs were here first, we came later and thus are the intruders.

It is vital to make reservations for every stop along your way and to make sure the place will accept your pet. Use a credit card to guarantee the reservation and always phone if youre delayed. Its also vital to train your dog to a crate in advance of the trip so that the crate becomes a second home or bed to the pet. For safety a dog should always be carried in a crate in a car, just as a toddler should be strapped into a car seat. Also, if the dog is accustomed to the crate you can leave it in the hotel or motel room while you dine; that is, if youre sure it wont bark up a storm and disturb sleeping neighbors. It is not any more cruel to put a dog in a crate than it is to put a baby in a playpen, as long as the crate is big enough for the animal to stand up, turn around and lie down at full length. AN INDISPENSABLE AID to vacationing pet owners is the Gaines Dog Care Centers Touring With Towser, which lists nearly 2,000 independently owned hotels and motels that accept guests with pets. Nine nationwide chains with 4,000 locations also extend the welcome mat to animals. Addresses and phone numbers are listed to help you make advance reservations.
