Since the Colorado potato beetle can be safely classified as a pest that is difficult to fight, new methods need to be found.
The fact is that the pest gets used to the old ones and over time simply stops reacting to them.
What 3 methods are worthy of being added to your collection?
Birch ash
Few people know that this particular type of ash is the most destructive for Colorado beetles. But if you don’t have it at hand, you can try any other.
It is used for powdering. About a bucket of the product is needed per hundred square meters.
Corn flour
But this method is little known, although corn flour is the pest's worst enemy. It is a real poison for Colorado beetles, so corn flour can be safely used.
Sawdust
This method also shows excellent results. It is best to focus on birch or pine. It is the smell of these trees that Colorado beetles do not like.
It is believed that they simply will not be able to approach the plantings.
