Many summer residents have to fight with ants and aphids from year to year, which are considered an inseparable “pair”.
Experienced gardeners are not used to spending money on chemicals. Experienced gardeners solve such problems with folk remedies.
Remedy for aphids and other insects
The annoying pests that cause significant damage to your garden can be driven away by a product based on regular black or red pepper.
Ants can be defeated not only with boric acid, but also with a solution against aphids. This remedy from a hot spice is effective against many insect pests that a summer resident encounters in the spring.
How to apply
Pour 1 liter of water into a saucepan and add 50 g of ground red pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil and then remove from heat.
The solution is infused for a day, then filtered, 10 g of laundry soap is added so that the solution adheres better to leaves, branches, and bark.
The resulting infusion is sprayed on plants affected by aphids and ants. But this should not be done before the rain, otherwise there will be no effect and you will have to repeat it.
