Pests in the garden and vegetable garden are exterminated by all possible means, including non-traditional ones.
Colorado beetles and aphids bother summer residents more often and actively. It turns out that there are products that can deal with both of them, and you can prepare them yourself.
We won’t tell you what harm these insects cause; it’s much more important to get rid of them.
Option #1
You can use onion peel (1 liter of peel per 3 liters of warm water and leave in a dark place for two days).
The concentrate must be filtered and diluted with water in a ratio of 1:2, add 10 grams of liquid laundry soap, mix and treat the plants.
Option #2
Mustard powder is effective against most pests. To prepare a solution, you will need 100 grams of powder per 1 liter of water and a little laundry soap for adhesion.
There is no need to insist. Just mix it and you can treat the plantings.
Option #3
You will need 100 grams of birch tar (or tar soap). It should be dissolved in 10 liters of water. Spraying is carried out once every 3-5 days.
Option No. 4
Of the industrial preparations, insecticides can destroy aphids and Colorado beetles. In difficult cases, the preparation Corado+Panem will help.
Summer residents advise starting with less radical formulations, gradually moving on to more powerful ones if you fail to achieve the desired effect the first time.
