As you know, harmful insects are capable of attacking not only outdoor plants, but also those that feel quite safe, located on your windowsill at home.

In such a situation, you can use specially created means to combat parasites, or you can resort to more gentle, but no less effective folk methods.

One of them is to use tar soap.

So, if you have stocked up on the main ingredient, you can start preparing that very “killer” remedy.

To do this, fill a suitable container with 2 liters of water and add 25 g of soda, 10 g of crushed garlic and 25 g of tar soap.

To avoid problems with dissolving the last component, it should first be grated.

All that remains is to mix all the ingredients, after which the solution should be filtered through cheesecloth.

Now you can safely use the soap solution to spray the infected flowers.
