Every year, our fruits, vegetables, and flowers face attacks from various pests such as caterpillars, aphids, potato beetles, and whiteflies, significantly reducing our yield and causing extensive damage. They munch on leaves and sap the life out of our plants, leaving them weakened and susceptible to various diseases, ultimately leading to withering.
