With the spring warmth, not only bushes and trees come to life, but also pests, which begin to look for something to feast on in the new season.

The mole cricket is one of the sworn enemies of many summer residents, who fight the pest year after year, but lose.

An expert of the online publication " Belnovosti ", an agronomist and the author of the blog "Conscious Gardening" Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained how to get rid of the mole cricket in the garden.

According to the specialist, the pest likes loose and manured soil. If there are manure heaps in the garden, special baits can be made near them.

For example, they dig furrows 10-13 cm deep. They pour in granules of the drug "Medvetoks" and dig in soil on top. If after this small depressions appear in the ground, then there will be a mole cricket here.
