Experienced gardeners do not like to use chemicals to combat pests in the garden and vegetable garden.
These remedies work flawlessly in most cases, but leave unpleasant consequences.
Insecticides destroy not only pests. Even those insects that are useful to summer residents die.
For example, the larvae of lacewings, ground beetles and many others actively destroy pests. A ladybug eats hundreds of aphid larvae per day.
Chemicals destroy natural methods of protection in nature. Therefore, experienced gardeners are in no hurry to use insecticides to combat pests.
Instead, they attract beneficial insects to their plot. For example, in the garden you can plant umbelliferous plants (dill, celery, caraway, coriander, parsnip, parsley), which will attract natural defenders of the crop.
Beneficial insects begin to reduce pest numbers almost immediately without any involvement from gardeners.
