The effectiveness of folk remedies and special preparations is 50-60%.
The remaining 40% of pests survive and restore their population. Insects reproduce especially actively in hot weather.
Aphids settle in whole colonies on leaves, young shoots, and sometimes on roots and bark. The insects feed on plant sap, causing serious damage to crops.
On one small leaf you can count from several dozen to hundreds of pests.
Since folk remedies and special preparations do not always help solve the problem, natural methods of regulating the aphid population come to the aid of summer residents.
One ladybug can destroy hundreds of pests per season. That is why experienced gardeners attract this helper to their plot.
This is easier to do than it might seem. Ladybugs love a humid environment. Aphids, on the contrary, love heat and dryness.
Saucers of water, spraying plants with a mixture of sugar and yeast, wild and fragrant herbs - all this will attract beneficial insects that will destroy the remaining pests.
