How to eradicate tadpoles with means always at hand

But not all is lost. Although the pests are very difficult to eradicate, there are measures to control these underground beetles. Some of these tools can be found in your kitchen.

I came out of the greenhouse with crushed eggshells neither last year nor this year.

I had it in spring, when I was digging, sowing serenity, chrysanthemums, filling the eggshells with oil before turning, and the bears, already in August, had not yet bitten any seedlings, I think they had escaped or “died”.

You can catch this creature with 2 tablespoons of feirio in 10l of water and water a small area so that you can catch it because you know they are very fast.

The water with oil helps me a lot. Pour a glass of the cheapest oil into the bucket of water and pour some into the caves. As the mat comes out and breathes.

I’ve been catching tadpoles with beer bottles for three years. It works 100 percent. I catch more than 300 tadpoles every season. Really effective, but the work requires a lot of effort, because you have to go hunting every two weeks.

Instead of Fairy, I suggest using an oil that won’t harm you or plants, but is effective. Take a bucket of water and add sunflower oil (the cheapest). 10 l of water requires about 50-100 ml of oil. Pour the mixed liquid into caves, preferably freshly gutted, as there is a high probability that the cuckoo is somewhere nearby. In a small area, such as a greenhouse, it is possible to level the uprooted soil and easily flatten the surface, then it becomes clear where the soil is being dug up (the soil rises). The procedure, of course, must be constantly repeated. It is not necessary to pour a lot of liquid – half a glass is enough, and the tadpole, if it is nearby, will soon come out. It will pour liquid into old caves, but it may not catch anything. The oil clogs the airways of the insects and they die. Adult tadpoles are more sensitive, while the smaller ones only turn dark and need to be destroyed. An insect may not necessarily crawl where you pour and where it is nearby. Pour, then inspect and assemble. You can’t get tired after the rain.

This year is the first year that we have built a greenhouse. Then I learned what ducks mean. They successfully gnaw radishes, spinach, onions. The only way it worked was oil and water. He didn’t even believe that cucumbers could have such power.

I recommend adding washing powder to the water and pouring it into the cave. The tadpoles come out and die. Algirdas

I buried pieces of herring next to the seedlings (tomatoes, peppers). I read that they don’t like the smell of this fish and they disappear from that place. So far, tomatoes and peppers are all healthy.
