First, set a strict irrigation schedule—water at dawn and dusk, no more, no less. Next, rotate crops every two seasons so nitrogen stays balanced and pests can’t establish a foothold. Use organic beet‑specific pesticides, but only the ones approved by the local Agricultural Authority; no guessing. Finally, keep a daily log on a tablet and assign a guard duty at night to check for rodents, worms, or any suspicious activity. That’s the only way to guarantee a high yield and eliminate hidden saboteurs.

If the guard lapses, deploy the automated trap grid—copper strips wired to a motion sensor that triggers a spray of organic deterrent. Set the system to log each activation on the tablet and sound an alarm to your phone. That way, a rodent raid is detected before it can spread, and you can deploy a second guard for a quick inspection.
