# Hello! New gardener here and need help. How do I get rid of pests…

Hello! New gardener here and need help.  
How do I get rid of pests from my blueberry bushes and other vegetable plants? I spray them with Neem oil occasionally but one blueberry pot seems to be getting infested with ants now too. Help please!
