Doctor Compost
Most of the creatures that live in and around compost bins help produce good quality compost. Insect populations in Britain appear to be declining. A lot of birds feed on insects, so making compost can help maintain bird populations.
Most unwanted insects can be discouraged or prevented - you should never use pesticides or other poisons in / around your compost as you will end up killing off many of the vital micro-organisms in the process.
Which creature are you concerned about?
| Ants
Bluebottles or maggots Centipedes Fruit flies Fungi Spiders Slugs or snails Vermin (e.g. rats) Woodlice |
