How to scare away the Colorado potato beetle: proven methods - a note for the summer resident

Any gardener should know how to scare away the Colorado potato beetle before it decides to "encroach" on your plantings.

If everything is done correctly, the insect will not even appear.

That is why it is so important to master preventive measures, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer.

What do they consist of?

"Filling" the hole

Not everyone knows that the right "filling" for the hole can be an excellent means of protection against the Colorado potato beetle. Beans and ash are the best for this task.

Onion peel has a similar effect.

Corn flour

This method can be safely considered one of the most original, but it really works. You need to wait for precipitation.

Then take the flour and perform the dusting procedure. It is worth doing it on a regular basis.

Walnut

Many have not even heard of this secret, but the method can be called effective and worthy. It is recommended to simply bury the leaves in the soil at the end of the season.

By planting time the soil will already be prepared.
