What do ants, spider mites and wireworms have in common? They all hate oranges
Not many gardeners know that, in addition to traditional means in the form of insecticides, folk methods are also good in the fight against pests.
For example, orange peels can be called a universal remedy that can cope with invasions of various parasites.
For example, if you want to get rid of ants from your property, just spread citrus peels on their paths – over time, the ants themselves will decide to leave their home.
In order to fight spider mites, you will have to prepare a special infusion - add 2 glasses of bark and a bunch of wormwood to a bucket of water.
Before use, the mixture should be strained and only then sprayed on the plantings.
To get rid of wireworms, simply add peels to each hole when planting potatoes.
It seems incredible, but an orange can drive away even the Colorado potato beetle from your beds. To do this, you will need to scatter fresh zest on the potatoes.
Alternatively, prepare an infusion based on 2 cups of fruit peelings and a cup of boiling water. After 24 hours, you can treat the plantings.
