The most effective way to combat mole crickets

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.
