The mole cricket is a creepy creature that can fly, crawl on the ground and underground, leaving scraps in the garden beds instead of the desired harvest, which drives gardeners to impotent rage.
Nobody wants to add pesticides to the soil with their own hands in order to drive out a parasite. The people have found a solution.
Signs of presence
The insect loves humus-fertilized soil, moist and nutritious. It lives not only in the vegetable garden, but also in the garden and even in flower beds.
It reproduces from May to June, and at this time you can hear a cute chirping sound in the garden.
Mole crickets not only make passages underground, but are also capable of flying from place to place and even swimming.
How to fight
All these features must be taken into account.
In the fall, traps made from dung heaps are a good help; they are burned when frost sets in. This trick won't work in the spring.
In the warm season, the parasite is given a "foam party". To do this, you need to prepare a solution of laundry soap, washing powder or dishwashing liquid with the addition of vegetable oil. After mixing the ingredients well, this mixture needs to be poured into the parasite's hole or fill the passages it has made.
You need to be on guard and get ready to catch the pests. Very soon they will start to rise to the surface, after which it will be left to collect them and pass judgment.
It is necessary to fight during the breeding season, because the parasites are fertile.
