How to Attract Ladybugs to Your Garden: They Will Get Rid of Aphids for Good
There are different methods to combat aphids: folk remedies, biological preparations, chemical insecticides, etc.
But the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , among the most effective ones, names such an unusual method as the help of ladybugs.
Why? There are two reasons for this.
Firstly, ladybugs eat aphids very well, and secondly, many contact-intestinal pesticides simply cannot penetrate into the leaves curled by aphids, where the pest successfully hides, whereas for ladybugs and their larvae this is not an obstacle.
If you are wondering how to attract ladybugs to your garden, stock up on any pine oil and get started.
You will need to prepare a solution by adding just 10 ml of any pine-scented oil to a 10-liter container of water.
To ensure that the oil mixes with the water as best as possible, add 3-4 tablespoons of liquid soap.
All that remains is to pour the prepared mixture into a sprayer and treat the plants in the area.
