I have a small strawberry patch, near berries just starting to ripen. I picked the first two yesterday, and would hold had four if the bugs hadn't chowed down on the fruits.

How can I preserve the bugs away so I get adjectives (or at least most) of my berries and not only half? I'd fairly not use a chemical pesticide, if I can avoid it, but will if it's the only road.
