Aphids are one of the main enemies of any farmer, as these barely visible parasites can cause serious damage to the crop.

Once pests appear on your property, they will not go away - unless you force them to do so.

There is a high probability that you can get rid of aphids using the tried and true “old-fashioned” method, which involves using pepper.

How to deal with aphids

To prepare an effective remedy that will kill aphids on the spot, you will need 50 g of red pepper and 1 liter of water.

Add pepper to water, stir and put on the fire – bring it to a boil and cook at low power for 15-20 minutes.

All this time it is necessary to stir the contents of the pan.

When the mixture is ready, it should be infused overnight. When the morning comes, strain the pepper liquid through cheesecloth and then dilute with warm water - 1 part of the infusion will require 4 parts of water.

All that remains is to pour the product into a spray bottle and treat the plants. It is also allowed to spray vegetable crops - the solution can only harm the aphids that have occupied them.
