Aphid? The fight against aphids: how long can it be?

Have you ever seen through holes, twisted leaves of plants, on which, if you look closely, you can see a lot of small green (black, white or absolutely transparent) insects? This is aphids. The control of aphids should begin as early as possible, because these insects can create up to 10 colonies in one summer. If you do not get rid of trees in time, they can die. The control of aphids on indoor plants is more simple and less labor intensive. Kozyvok can be collected by hand, can be washed off with a relatively strong water jet. True, it will have to be done constantly: aphids on house colors, as well as on garden plants, are reintroduced again and again. You can use ready-made products (both in the garden and home colors), but they can harm the person. Therefore, it is best to use the old proven methods, safe for humans. First we remember what exactly the aphids are afraid of. The fight against aphids will consist in using exactly those natural remedies that it does not tolerate.

We deprive insects of succulent leaves

Aphids love juice, so they choose only juicy leaves. And such are on soils with a generous content of nitrogen. So let's try to deprive harmful insects food. We will scatter a large amount of wood ash under the trunks. Potassium will fall into the soil, the leaves will become less succulent, the aphids will go looking for a new pasture. By the way, remember, ants are the main vectors of such a plague, like aphids. The control of aphids can begin with the fact that the trunk and branches of trees are coated with garden wax or special adhesive gel. Ants will not be able to get to the tree, which (to some extent) will help save it from insect infestation.

We use harmless sprayers

Of course, you can buy ready-made chemicals in shops and spray them with trees or indoor flowers. And then there is fruit with pesticides. And you can do easier. What else is afraid of aphids? The fight against aphids shows that she is afraid of sticky caustic liquids, acids, some plants. So we use them for spraying.

Composition first. Ash and aphids

We have already scattered the ashes under the trees. To accelerate the process of banishment, the soap is economical, ash soluble in water, and by this composition we will spray wet leaves of trees.

Composition of the second. Salad for aphids

We cook it this way. In 400 grams of liquid, add liquid laundry soap, vegetable oil and mashed garlic, each ingredient - 2 tablespoons. We send to the dark for a day. Then we take the atomizer, fill it with liquid "fire" and water the aphid. You can simply make an infusion of bitter pepper or tobacco, or both. It does not threaten man, but the aphids will save the garden from its presence instantly.

Together fun ... drive the tuja

It is possible to combat aphids with the help of living beings. If ants like to plant aphids, then ladybugs, tits, kings and birds-hemp adore it. You can walk around the field, collect a large box of ladybirds and move them to an infected tree or flower. It is more difficult to attract birds, but it is quite possible. For starters, you can hang out a treat for birds. Getting used to flying into the garden, they will soon notice the aphids and just ... destroy it.
