A greenhouse in general is a very useful acquisition for a summer resident, as it allows for the provision of certain conditions for the most "capricious" plants.

However, it is important to understand that in a confined space there is a high probability of pests appearing.

One of these "unpleasant residents" may be the spider mite, warns the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

How can you deal with the problem?

Prevention

Few people know that you can prevent the appearance of the pest if you know about one interesting remedy. To do this, you will need to take two heads of garlic, chop them and leave them for five days in four glasses of water.

Afterwards, processing is carried out.

Humidity

It is important to ensure that the greenhouses have the correct humidity level: spider mites do not like this. Individual plants can even be sprayed with water. This will reduce the likelihood of the insect appearing.

Soap

One of the most effective means of combating the pest is ordinary laundry soap. First, a piece is rubbed, then dissolved in hot water, and then mixed with a bucket of clean water.

If the number of ticks is small, this method will cope with them perfectly.
