It is easier to prevent pests from appearing than to look for ways to get rid of them.

Summer residents fight them in different ways. Some buy special preparations. Others solve the problem in a more cunning way.

So, knowledgeable gardeners plant flowers in the greenhouse that repel annoying insects. All that remains is to choose what is more important - beauty or practicality.

What to plant in a greenhouse

1. For those who appreciate beauty, gardeners advise planting ageratum in a greenhouse. The plant perfectly protects the harvest from whiteflies.

Bright flowers attract small butterflies, but the juice deprives them of the ability to reproduce. One plant is enough for every 10 square meters. If you like the method, you can propagate ageratum - it is easy to cut.

2. For those who are more practical, dill is a great choice. In this case, protection from pests works differently. Umbelliferae attract predatory insects.

They hunt pests, protecting plants in the greenhouse. Such insects settle near dill and look for prey almost throughout the greenhouse.
