Needles
Mole hate the smell of pine trees. Therefore one of the simplest ways in which I fight with Medvedkov - scattered among the rows of potatoes, radishes, carrots, etc. threads conifer needles or dried. Suit spruce, larch, pine.
Glass jar
Pests move underground channels dug on, so if the path of the insect jars dug small, sooner or later, come across to the container, the insect will fall into it. More effective method would be, if about one-third fill a jar with water, and the edges of grease honey. Moisture attracts insects. This is not the only vessel that can be useful to capture the mole crickets. Dig into the ground and can be a glass bottle with a small amount of beer. Pre must tie gauze container neck. This is done in order to cricket, sensing alluring smell of beer, gnawed through the path directly into the bottle from which it is unlikely to already be able to get out. 2-3 weeks in the presence of the garden such traps can be caught by half a tin of insect that is already bad enough. Traps are recommended to be changed periodically during the season.
Water and beer
To discover the tunnels, which moves cricket, it suffices to take a board or plywood, put it on the wet ground and strongly pressed his foot. On the next day that I lifted the board, you can find traces of moves, which moves this insect. The detected moves sufficiently fill water with soap or even better - fermented beer. That way you can get rid of the hated not only insects, but also larvae and eggs laid.
the cloth
Mole is often attacked and stems of tomato and pepper. If before planting the plants into the ground to wrap their trunks with wet pieces of cloth, the cricket they would not touch. In this case, there is no harm by the vegetables, because fabric just rots over time.
Eggshell
Before planting seedlings in the wells can add mixture obtained from the broke eggshell and unrefined sunflower oil. This mixture will undoubtedly attract the odor Medvedkov and it will have a detrimental effect on. In this case, the well-known fact about the benefits of the eggshell for seedlings. Perhaps this is the most environmentally friendly way to control insects.
aspen stakes
At a distance of 1.5-2 m from each other recommended fresh aspen drive pins (in this case, alder may be suitable for the replacement). But they need to be changed from time to time as the drying. The smell of the wood is well deters Medvedkov.
Kerosene
If the furrow greenhouses around the perimeter sprinkled with sand mixed with kerosene or mothballs, it would be a good deterrent for mole crickets. Note, however, that the kerosene quickly disappears, so the sand does not have time to update. By all means with a pungent odor should be treated with caution, as it may harm not only insects, but also by the people.
