Any summer resident experiences negative emotions when they see a mole cricket, since the pest is extremely dangerous for the harvest.
It is also not so easy to fight the insect, since it rarely appears on the surface of the earth, preferring to “work” in the soil.
However, with the help of several clever methods, the problem can be neutralized, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, landscape designer and agronomist.
What methods can be recalled?
Onion infusion
It is necessary to prepare about a kilogram of vegetable peel, pour the component with a bucket of water. The remedy is infused for five days.
Then, for every liter of the product, take five liters of water and begin treating the soil once every 7 days. Within a month, the pest will leave the area.
Oil
Experienced gardeners combine the cheapest vegetable oil with water in equal proportions, and then treat the passages that the mole cricket digs.
Pine litter
Not everyone knows that the mole cricket does not like the essential oils that pine needles release. If you distribute the needles evenly over the area, the pest will soon leave you.
