What product, which is in every kitchen, will “wash away” aphids without a trace: a tip for inexperienced gardeners
You should begin fighting aphids as soon as you discover the first specimens of this insidious pest.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises to start destroying the insect at the early stages of its appearance in order to prevent it from multiplying.
A product that can be found in any kitchen will help you with this: dishwashing liquid.
This drug, designed to make plates squeak, is capable of dissolving the waxy coating that covers the parasite's body.
Because of this, the insect becomes dehydrated and dies.
To test the power of Fairy or Aos, add a few tablespoons of detergent to a container filled with a liter of water and stir thoroughly.
Pour the resulting mixture into a spray bottle and spray the plants affected by aphids, not forgetting the underside of the leaves - this is where the pest likes to settle.
True, this method has one drawback - dishwashing liquid can kill not only harmful aphids, but also beneficial insects, such as lacewings or ladybugs.
