I've found doing comprehensive soil testing and amending the soil has been very helpful in getting rid of many pests. It's been a work in progress for several years, but I have had several successes. I have many posts about how I do this, so if you are interested, I'll post links. November is the time for soil testing...

Yeah that would be great! Had no idea that November is the time for soil testing, but that makes sense. We've had a big problem with pests this year, so willing to learn about anything that may work.
Here's the posts I made on the subject:

Very helpful links that's awesome thank you!
Our potted plants have had a pest problem with the aphids. Destroyed our kale crop!
They're the worst! We are getting ready for them for next year.
