Harmful insects can be a serious problem for the garden and vegetable garden. They spoil the landings; damage the crop, reducing its quality; and in some cases they cause the death of plants. There are plenty of insect control products, but we will not list everything that is sold in stores. Today we will tell you about red pepper - a powerful natural insecticide that will help cleanse your garden from a number of pests.

Why can't insects tolerate red peppers?

The peel and seeds of red pepper contain a chemical called capsaicin. It is because of him that the paprika is called hot. Everyone is probably familiar with the effect of a hot pepper bite - tears from the eyes also catch their breath. So - this is what capsaicin does.

Capsaicin is used in medicine - it is part of warming ointments and tinctures. There are other uses for this hot chemical. It is used as the main irritant (irritant) in self-defense gas cartridges and filling for gas cartridges. And also capsaicin is introduced into the composition of the paint, which is used to paint the bottoms of ships. This is done so that the mollusks do not stick to the boats.

But that's not all. "Nuclear" filling of hot pepper is also included in preparations that "wean" pets to gnaw furniture and sharpen their claws anywhere. In general, all life on this planet is afraid of capsaicin. Insects, including harmful ones, are also afraid of him. They bypass the places where this chemical is located. Therefore, red pepper can be safely used in the garden and vegetable garden to protect plants from a number of pests.
