5 Common Tomato Pests
Quite often, summer residents encounter such a scourge as the mole cricket. To combat this insect, various traps with beer and honey are used, as well as various solutions that are poured into the discovered holes.
Aphids also harm tomatoes in the greenhouse. When insects attack the plant, the leaf blades curl and the buds dry up.
Aphids are also fought with folk remedies. Tobacco, garlic, soap and onion infusions help to scare away the pest.
If there are whitish spots on tomatoes, they are being eaten by whiteflies. Folk remedies such as garlic or soap infusion will also help against them.
The same applies to cases when you find that the plants are covered with fine webbing. This sign indicates that spider mites have taken up residence on the plants.
And if cucumber midges have settled on the plants, sticky traps will help to deal with them.
