Many gardeners, to their chagrin, note that uninvited guests have taken up residence in their pots with indoor plants.

When there are still few flies, as a rule, no one fights them.

Owners of "green pets" believe that it is enough to reduce watering of flowers, because insects love moisture, and without it, accordingly, they will not be able to continue their existence.

However, as practice shows, if pests have appeared, they no longer care whether you continue to water the plants abundantly or decide to reduce the amount of water: the flies will find moisture, and their population will inevitably grow.

In addition, there are some plants whose watering cannot be reduced in any way.

In this case, only an insecticide will come to the rescue, for example, "Aktara". The preparation should be prepared according to the instructions on the package.

When everything is ready, move all the pots to the bathroom, thoroughly water them with the solution and leave them here for several hours behind a closed door.

In the meantime, treat the remaining rooms with dichlorvos. Only by resorting to such a set of measures, you can say goodbye to annoying insects.
