The mole cricket is one of the most unpleasant pests – it destroys the root system of plants.

The insect even eats onions and garlic, as well as sweet crops.

While moving underground, the mole cricket lifts the soil, which causes it to dry out.

It is not recommended to handle this insect with bare hands, as it can easily bite through the skin.

To prevent this insect from settling, it is recommended to plant imperial fritillary around the perimeter of the site at intervals of 1 meter.

This plant has an unpleasant smell that repels the insect. However, it will not help if the mole cricket has already settled in the garden.

In this case, water the potential nests with a soap solution - add 100 grams of laundry soap to 10 liters of water.

However, in this case you will have to wait until the insect crawls out of the hole.

You can also use "Medvetoks" and "Grizzly" as bait. The approximate consumption is 0.5 kg per hundred square meters of soil.
