We all know for a long time proven methods to combat aphids, such as soapy water, installation of barriers on the trunks of trees, etc. But do they always run? I do not have!

Therefore, I began to try and look for innovative ways. For several years I have tried many things, from the blatant nonsense, to really working methods.

Today, talk about what seemed to me a nonsense, but actually helped.

1. Destroy aphids using vodka

The magazine read a recipe that just cheap vodka able to get rid of aphids any plants. And nothing but liquor is not necessary. How to buy and sprayed.

Honestly, I'm afraid to burn the leaves of pure vodka, so dilute it with water 1 to 2.

After spraying for a long time there was a smell of alcohol, but the aphids really died.

2. Destroy aphids using Cola

As it turned out, Coca-Cola is able to deal with aphids is not less effective than vodka. Scientifically it is because it contains phosphoric acid.

True then leaves sticky and they actively start to gather ants. The method works, aphids gone, but try not recommend it.

3. Destroy aphids using oils and creams

In 100 grams of ordinary dairy cream, you must add one teaspoon of essential oil of lavender or tea tree. Further dilute the resulting mixture is 2-2.5 liters of water and sprayed onto infected plants.

With repeated use of the effect is really there.

4. Destroy aphids using iodine and milk

we will need for this recipe:

  • 1 liter simple clean water;
  • 100 ml. cow's milk;
  • 1/2 dice iodine (measured by means of a medical syringe).

Mix all the ingredients so as to obtain a foamy yellowish liquid. A solution ready for use. The effect is not worse than in the processing of soap and water.
