We present to you a natural, organic solution that will quickly rid you of unpleasant aphids. If you don’t act against aphids, they will begin to multiply rapidly and can destroy your entire garden. They suck the sap from plants and trees, which then lose leaves and dry out.
However, there’s no need to reach for chemicals right away, because there are also ecological solutions.
We need:
- an old pot that you no longer use
- 1 l of water
- 50 g of ground chili peppers
Instructions:
1. Pour one liter of water into the pot and put it on the stove to boil.
2. Add the chili and simmer for about 20 minutes.
3. Let this solution stand for 24 hours and then strain it.
4. Dilute it with water until you reach a volume of 5 liters.
5. Pour the diluted solution into a spray bottle and spray the affected leaves.
Important!
When spraying, be sure to use protective goggles and a respirator.
To avoid irritating the mucous membranes. Perform the spray when there is no wind, or if a light breeze is blowing, position yourself so that the solution disperses to the other side. Do not spray before rain or in the rain, because it would be ineffective.
The heat of the chili peppers irritates aphids and causes them burns incompatible with life. Most importantly, the solution is not chemical. Spray only the affected parts of the plants with it, and if you follow the instructions exactly, you will see results very soon. To help the solution adhere better to the surface of the leaves, you can add 10 g of laundry soap.
