Control pests
Occasional aphid infestations on flowers can still be tolerated. On the other hand, other pests, especially on crops, are far more difficult to control. We have listed four pests and their control methods for you here:
- Cabbage Fly: This fly likes young cabbage, older plants are less endangered. The fly lays its eggs on the edge of the cabbage. The larvae then feed on the leaves. To prevent this, you should lay out vegetable fly nets or use a so-called cabbage collar. This collar allows the eggs to dry out before the larvae can hatch.
- Cherry Fruit Fly: This fly lays its eggs in the cherries that change color. To protect against this insect, you should hang yellow boards in the trees.
- Potato beetle: If there are a lot of beetles in the vegetable patch from May onwards, then this is usually the potato beetle, which feeds on all kinds of vegetables. You can easily collect this. If he has already laid eggs, the insecticide Caterpillar-Free and Beetle-Free. will help.
- Thrips: These are small animals about 1 mm in size, which mainly feed on vegetables and ornamental plants. You can tell your plants are infested if they show white-silver dots, the leaves are deformed or the plants even show significant growth damage. If you want to get rid of these pests then you should hoe your garden regularly and mulch it too.
As you can see, getting rid of these vermin is actually not that difficult. All you have to do is know what it is and you can fight it effectively.
