Many gardeners plant marigolds in their beds to protect vegetable crops from pests.
This is a great idea, but there is a plant that does an even better job of repelling pests.
We'll tell you what to plant to fight pests if you're tired of marigolds.
What to plant against pests
One of the most effective pest repellents is pyrethrum (Dalmatian chamomile).
This flower helps protect plants from aphids, codling moths, spider mites, whiteflies and many other pests.
If it is not possible to plant pyrethrum, you can purchase an insecticide based on it.
After treating plants with such agents, harvesting is possible within 3 days.
For greater effect, treatment should be carried out in cloudy weather or in the evening.
Another undoubted advantage of pyrethrum-based insecticides is that pests do not develop resistance to them.
In addition, such products can be used to treat indoor plants.
It is also important that pyrethrum-based insecticides are safe for pets.
