Experienced gardeners have revealed a trick that will help you get rid of caterpillars for the entire summer.

To stop a pest invasion, you don't have to spend a fortune on chemicals. Just use a simple trick.

If the caterpillars were a nuisance last year, then they will most likely continue to attack the plantings in the new season.

Therefore, in spring, summer residents take care of plant protection. To protect the area, you need to attract birds in advance.

It is quite easy to do this. According to experienced gardeners, you need to fix a mesh bag on the tree branches. Put pieces of cotton wool and finely chopped yarn on it.

According to gardeners, this will attract birds, which will receive material for their nests. In addition, they will not fail to feast on the caterpillars. Therefore, the bag is placed where the pests are most active.

Not only birds, but also insects bring great benefit to the garden. For example, the notorious fire beetle feeds on aphids, caterpillars, and flies.
