The most terrible enemy of gardeners is the mole cricket. The size of these insects can reach more than 5 cm. They bite off the roots of plants, thereby destroying entire beds of garden crops.
It is very difficult to overcome this insect, but there is one effective way to get rid of this scourge.
There is no need to use chemicals, every housewife has everything at home.
For this you will need a chicken eggshell. It turns out that this insect loves the shell very much. The amount of shell does not matter.
First, crush the shells to form small crumbs; there is no need to grind them to dust.
Next, sprinkle the rows where the mole cricket has made its holes and passages with egg crumbs and lightly dig up the soil so that the crumbs mix with the soil and end up under a layer of soil. Having smelled the delicacy, the mole cricket eats these crumbs, which its body cannot digest. The sharp edges of the shell damage the insect from the inside and it dies from this.
This is a simple and cheap way to destroy entire colonies of these very harmful mole crickets.
