Getting rid of the Colorado potato beetle can be difficult, because sometimes even special preparations do not help.
A few days after spraying, the pests are back on the bushes. Some summer residents fundamentally do not want to use poisons on their plots.
To get rid of pests, you can try a folk method. It is better to use it at the beginning of the season, when the beetles have not scattered their larvae under every leaf.
Folk wisdom says that "Colorado" will be stopped by fragrant plants. Summer residents said that calendula helps them protect their plantings not only from beetles, but also from ticks, bugs, caterpillars, slugs.
Plants that grow next to calendula are less likely to suffer from fungal diseases, including black leg.
For calendula, allocate an area where weeds usually grow. In this way, it is possible to protect the plantings from diseases, pests, and weeds do not bother.
In addition to calendula, gardeners recommend sage, tansy, catnip, night violet, and matthiola to fight the Colorado potato beetle.
