On the Internet you can find a lot of methods to combat pests and vegetable garden that regularly plague our landing. Of course, some of them will be more effective, while others - less, but there's every gardener has the right to choose for themselves the appropriate option yourself.
A few days ago I read about a pretty An interesting way to get rid of small backbitersAbout which earlier I have not heard. Its essence lies in the fact that the pests themselves die in the winter, and gardener while nothing should be done, but to spread out in their area a special lure. Intrigued? Then I turn more to the point, to satisfy your curiosity.
Using this method I found on one forum where they shared one of the visitors.
What is the secret ingredient she uses?
You will be surprised to know that this is conventional powdered sugar. Why is it? It's simple - the majority of pests like sweet, so certainly want to eat "dessert".
How to apply the powdered sugar in the garden?
Well, if she sprinkled the ground, then over time it simply absorbed into it, and bring no benefit. It is therefore important to place the site on some plates, or as new posts said ordinary plastic spoon, which will subsequently pours out "bait."
How does this method work? They should use only during cold weather, because the warm days of the sugar will only become a breeding ground for ants and other "guests." But, when the temperature is low enough, sweet powder will entice backbiters of the lower layers of the earth (where they usually hide in the winter) to the surface, where they will be immediately freeze.
And so, it would seem, by means of conventional spoons with powdered sugar, you can clean your garden of pests. I, frankly, this method has not yet been tried out, as the street we still have a warm weather, but for the sake of the experiment, I think that all the same venture.
Maybe someone of you have already heard about this way or perhaps even have time to use it? It will be interesting to know your feedback, and I will tell you after his experiment on their experiences to you.
