I know that this was written and later updated some time ago but things have changed drastically since then and I would hate for someone to happen upon that column and use the information. I think an additional update is in order.

There are lots of good tips in this link: [Pest control for cannabis growing without chemicals](http://howtogrowmarijuana.com/pest-control-without-chemicals/) for example. They are spot on in my experience but maybe some others have better ideas.
