There just are garden pests without seeing my hard-earned six hundred in just the first couple of years after I bought them from the banal aphids to slugs and small rodents the size of a finger.
Fortunately, against virtually everyone in a timely manner, I was able to find some means or complex of means of a number of "people." Well, in this article, dear readers, I will devote you own secrets to combat Medvedkov.
Autumn hunting
As is the case with almost any pest in the fight against this scourge unpleasant as cricket, important integrated approach of several means. First of all, this can be attributed to the trap, and the best of them will be the one that would destroy not only insects, but also its larvae deposited in the soil.
Just in time for such concerns is simple in design and efficiency, "manure" trap. How it to make?
Until autumn sun still warms, it is necessary to dig a few pits on the site depth of 40-50 cm, and fill them with manure. The temperature in these pits will be slightly higher soil temperature, and the mole cricket will move quickly to a more comfortable "place of residence", putting manure at the same time and their larvae.
Then, as soon as the weather forecast zamayachat first frost, you need to dig holes and contents evenly distribute it on the surface: in this case, the majority of insects simply freeze in frosts. However, of all the baleen pests, of course, the trap will not relieve.
Onions and marigolds
Hunting - it is certainly effective, but to my garden in the next year will not come even more "guests" from the neighboring area, and I decided to take preventive measures to combat Medvedkov.
From a neighbor I found interesting and very humane way: a decoction of onion peel kilograms per 10 liters of water can be used against mole crickets no worse than any of the chemicals: it is enough simply to dilute the concentrate with five parts water and pour generously attacked by insects plant.
This "onion soup" Medvedkov extremely unpleasant, and besides, he is very reduces its fertility.
Another neighbor advised obkopat my garden, along the perimeter of a small irrigation ditch and pour into it manure, but by virtue of my natural laziness, I found it, this method is too radical and resource-intensive, so the landing cost the couple beds from marigolds: Medvedkov and drove, and his wife appreciated.
And of course, I did not forget about the good old loosening the soil: it is certainly not in itself will drive insects from the garden, but certainly complicate his life, forced to "think" about migration in a more comfortable conditions.
