In autumn, as well as in any season except winter, pest larvae and their adult form cause inconvenience to the summer resident.
One of the first thoughts is mass poisoning of beetles with chemicals.
But there are other, more gentle, but no less effective methods of pest control in the country and garden.
Let's pay attention to the advice of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How to get rid of pests in the country
Here are 4 ways.
- Nematodes. You can populate the area with nematodes, which will independently search for other insects. They can be ordered online or from a special store.
- A natural disease of milky spores. It affects beetle larvae in the garden, but it will take 1 year to grow.
- Birds. Attract birds to your property using a bird feeder or a special birdhouse.
- Trees: Poplar, bird cherry, ash, elm and Canadian maple can cause harm to insects.
