There are many methods that promise to destroy the entire aphid colony in one go.

But they don’t always work.

For this reason, it is necessary to periodically change the method of pest control. It is best to pay attention to the most accessible methods, which include the following.

What does it consist of?

Two available components that every summer resident has at hand can help in the fight against aphids. We are talking about wormwood, which always grows near the garden, and garlic.

To prepare the mixture, you will need to collect about half a bucket of wormwood, which is recommended to be finely chopped with a shovel. After that, it is recommended to take a couple of heads of garlic. You can leave the husk on them: it is also unpleasant for insects. The product should be sent to a blender and brought to a state of gruel.
