The mole cricket is a very dangerous pest, although it cannot be said that the insect is very numerous.
However, just 1-2 pests can cause significant damage to the crop.
Therefore, it is always necessary to know how to deal with this problem, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What methods should summer residents remember?
Iodine
This method can be used both for prevention and in cases of fighting the mole cricket. It is necessary to take ten liters of ordinary water and pour twenty drops of the preparation into it.
Afterwards, the soil is treated as usual.
Laundry soap
This is a good and budget method of fighting the mole cricket. It is suggested to first dissolve a piece of soap in a small amount of water.
Then pour the thick mixture into a bucket of clean water.
We water the resulting mixture onto the mole cricket's "homes", which can be recognized by their characteristic burrows.
Garlic
This method serves as a preventive measure during planting work. It is recommended to clean and crush a slice of the product and fill the hole with this "treat".
