Indoor plants perfectly complement the interior, making the room more cozy and comfortable.

But the whole impression can be spoiled by midges, which like to settle in flower pots.

In addition, they harm plants.

The fact is that midge larvae cause the greatest harm. They live in the soil and feed on the plant's root system. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures as soon as possible to get rid of annoying midges.

Garlic

It is necessary to spray the soil and the plant with garlic infusion.

It is easy to prepare.

To do this, you need to crush 2-3 cloves of garlic, and then pour in a liter of water.

In a dark place and at room temperature, this remedy should be infused for 24 hours.

The solution should be used 3-4 times, but with a weekly interval.

Laundry soap

You need to take 20-30 g of grated laundry soap and pour it with a liter of warm water. As soon as everything dissolves and the water cools down, you can treat the soil and leaves.
