Raspberries are a very tasty berry, but the pleasure is spoiled by worms that call the tasty fruit their home.

For this reason, it is necessary to carry out prevention to reduce the number of these unwanted guests.

The first method requires quite a lot of effort - you need to take a sheet of oilcloth or a large sheet of cardboard. We lay it under the bush and shake it - most of the larvae will fall from the branches and berries themselves.

The second remedy is potassium permanganate. It is safe and relatively effective. Treat the onion with the solution to deal with pests.
