What is KEGO?
KEGO is a preventive insect care solution designed for routine use in home gardens as part of an integrated plant-care programme.
Routine use helps gardeners stay ahead of common insect pressures and supports proactive garden management before problems become severe.

Which insects are commonly seen in home gardens?
Common garden pests may include aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, thrips, mites and leaf-eating caterpillars.

What conditions may encourage insect problems?
Certain conditions may make insect problems more likely to develop:
• Excessive or imbalanced fertilizer application
• Overcrowded plants
• Poor airflow
• Plant stress
• Irregular monitoring
• Seasonal weather changes
Many insects pass through multiple life stages, and new insects may continue entering the garden from surrounding areas. Regular observation and consistent plant care are often more effective than one-time interventions.

Regularly check the underside of leaves during routine inspections. Many common garden pests are easier to spot there before visible damage appears.
