Summer residents have great confidence in developments based on natural components. They may not be as effective as garden chemicals, but they are harmless.
It is no secret that insects have their own natural enemies in nature, and not only in the form of birds and toads. Plants also help.
We will tell you how to get rid of spider mites by creating unbearable living conditions for the parasite in your apartment, garden and vegetable patch.
Against this pest, your hands reach for chemicals. Sometimes you really can't cope without them. But at the initial stage and in terms of prevention, there are safer methods.
1. The pest does not tolerate high air humidity, regular spraying and other hygienic procedures. This applies to indoor plants, garden and horticultural crops.
2. The pest does not like treatment with ordinary soapy water. By the way, if the parasite has settled in a flower pot, then after washing the plant is covered with a plastic bag to create a greenhouse effect, and the tick will not survive.
3. Another option is plants that are not inferior to repellents. A real talisman against spider mites is cilantro and other greens with a spicy smell - parsley, basil, etc.
4. To protect the garden, you need to make sure that chamomile, tansy, celandine, yarrow and wormwood grow in it.
5. In the garden, spider mites are rarely seen where mustard was sown.
