How to fight mole crickets on your property: the oldest, but most effective method
The mole cricket can be called the worst nightmare of any gardener, because this insect can cause significant harm to crops growing in the garden.
As noted by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , there are several ways to combat this insect.
However, the oldest method, which is also considered one of the most effective, is the use of special traps.
An obligatory "component" of the trap is bait. It can be made from fruits, vegetables or meat.
Traps should be set in places where mole cricket passages have been discovered.
When talking about fighting the mole cricket, we cannot help but mention another method – treating the soil with special chemicals. However, this method can be dangerous for plants and animals, so it should be used with caution.
You can also use natural methods of fighting mole crickets, such as installing special barriers made of stones or other materials.
However, these methods may be less effective than using traps or chemicals.
