Despite the fact that I grew up in the village and loved to engage in garden and vegetable garden, I did not know about the problem with the invasion medvedok ever. Where did they come in such numbers - a mystery to me, as previously noticed similar. In the past year we have experienced it and were able to destroy medvedok. We noticed a large number of mink on beds just because began to look closely to the ground and look for possible pests from the deterioration of the seedlings in greenhouses. Fortunately, we were able to save the potato crop, which also managed to damage these horrible creatures - mole crickets.

First, having read on the Internet, I started to build their trap with sweets in glass jars, having covered with a tarpaulin. The most effective were cans of beer, not sweet. There remained to "float" all a fairly large number medvedok and died, compared with others, where there was a vegetable oil and sugar. Perhaps because the smell of beer stronger than oil and sweets.

But when looked at the catch after the third night, we realized that their numbers here is not decreasing but increasing day by day. Yes, and potato leaves places like lawns began to lie down on the ground. Apparently, the "lawns" are nest mole crickets. We decided to use insecticides from the hopelessness and the scope of the disaster on our site. Delay was impossible, and the hand to gather in a short period of time, too, it was not possible.

Cooked porridge preparation "Parachute". The manual, I think it is clear to all described as that. I can only say that if you have poultry, be careful. We're just throwing poisoned porridge on the kitchen garden. In the greenhouse, on the other beds and between the potato rows. Those who have experience in dealing with these pests assured us that 2 weeks after folding, this poison breaks down into harmless components and completely harm a person does not bring. But that's not yet broken up, the chickens can poison. So do not miss this moment, if you want to benefit from our experience.

The only thing that remains - is to go and collect the dead medvedok. You need to carefully look closely to the ground and try not to leave the poisonous insects, they are also may suffer the birds that eat them. We gathered as a family quite a lot and the whole "catch" was burned in the container.

This year, I want to advance to protect our garden from these parasites. I was advised an effective way, which mole crickets can not live on our site. But this talk in one of the following articles. And under this article in the comments, I would be happy to hear from you, my dear readers, about your experience in the fight against Medvedkov. Please share with us any way for you has been effective?
