With the first sprouts of potatoes, Colorado beetles literally appear from under the ground at the dacha.
If you don't keep an eye on the voracious creatures, then in the warmth and satiety they will have nothing left but to start actively reproducing, and then just hold on. The nasty larvae will accumulate in buckets.
At such moments, the hands of summer residents who have tried all the folk remedies simply reach for a bottle of chemical liquid.
But the Colorado potato beetle is cunning, and it has long been proven that it can quickly become accustomed to real poison.
We will tell you about one clever way that will help you deal with pests.
It's all quite simple: just plant fresh root vegetables along the edges or in the corners of the bed.
Beetles, obeying instinct, will gather on young growth, which is tastier and juicier than old and processed growth.
And here a happy summer resident with a bucket will be waiting for them.
In this way, you can successfully control the beetle population and not worry that the crop grown with your own hands may be harmful due to pest control.
