My question is how do you get rid of bugs in your yard?

Barriers and repellents help keep bugs out of the garden. They can act like a wall preventing crawling insectsfrom accessing your home or vegetables. For example, by planting carrots in toilet paper rolls cutworms can’t get to them. Plants can provide a living barrier to insects, too. Peppermint, spearmint and pennyroyal naturally deter aphids and ants, so plant them throughout your garden and these pests will stay away.

Just say NO to pesticides! Tree Tanglefoot is an effective sticky barrier for use against crawling insects. Problem pests cannot cross the sticky glue and become trapped without escape. Best of all, it works without toxins!

Simmering cedar twigs in water and then pouring the (cooled) water over plants will deter cutworms, corn earworms and other pests. Snails won’t cross a line of lime, just as ants avoid cayenne pepper or iron phosphate — a natural inorganic material widely used as a nutritional supplement — keeps slugs at bay.

In addition to the many “do it yourself” pest remedies, you can purchase organic pest control products that work on just about anything lurking around the garden or home.

I have had very good success using diatomaceous earth to control fleas and other things in the grass without harming the soil or the animals. https://lifehacker.com/5835163/kill-bugs-with-diatomaceous-earth
