The mole cricket can easily deprive summer residents of the lion's share of the harvest if measures to combat the pest are not taken in time.
Instead of strong chemicals, gardeners start by using simpler “poisons”.
Mole cricket and the garden
The mole cricket feeds not only on wild plants in forests and fields.
The pest is not averse to feasting on vegetables that summer residents diligently grow.
For example, popular cultures include:
- potato;
- cabbage;
- beet;
- corn;
- carrot.
The mole cricket simply adores these crops. Many summer residents grow them in their gardens and encounter the pest.
How to fight mole cricket
They start with simple methods. For example, a folk method is considered to be garlic cloves, which are placed in the pest's passages.
Usually, the pungent aroma scares away the mole cricket. But if it doesn't help, then they move on to more serious methods.
The mole cricket is poisoned with calcium urea, poured into the hole and filled with water.
