The powder known as diatomaceous earth is created from the fossilized remnants of sea phytoplankton. Around the base of your plants, scatter it. The powder's sharp edges pierce insects' protective coatings as they crawl over it, leading to their dehydration and eventual death.
Garlic or Chili Spray: Because of their pungent smells and perhaps unpleasant qualities, garlic and chili are both natural insect repellents. To repel pests, blend a few garlic cloves or a few spicy chilies with water, filter, then spray the damaged plants.
Alcohol Spray: For scale insects in particular, using a rubbing alcohol and water combination may be successful. Apply directly to the pests using a cotton ball, or softly mist the affected areas.
Methods of Culture
Pruning: To lower pest populations and stop their spread, remove and destroy branches and leaves that are severely affected.
Water Spray: Aphids may be removed from your plants with the use of a powerful water jet. Frequent watering of your plants may also help avoid dust accumulation, which can attract pests.
Sticky Traps: Position the sticky yellow traps close to your plants. These have the ability to capture adult insects and aid in population reduction.
Using strong pesticides to get rid of scale insects and aphids is not necessary. Plant protection and a flourishing garden may be achieved by combining natural therapies with preventive measures. Maintaining your plants' vibrancy and productivity while warding off pests requires regular attention to detail and swift response.
