The shrew is one of the most dangerous pests for plots.
It feeds on plant roots, which can lead to deterioration of soil quality and destruction of vegetation on the site.
Also, the shrew can be dangerous for animals and people, since its larvae are poisonous, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
But not all is lost: there are a number of ways to help get rid of moles on your property.
The first step in dealing with a mole is to inspect the area.
If you see that the damage to the plants is caused by a mole, you should transplant them to other places. This will prevent additional damage.
The next step is to install barriers on the site, which will help prevent the spread of the mole.
Place, for example, thin paper in the gap between the soil surface and the plant so that the mole cannot reach the roots. This method is safe for plants and does not require much expense.
Chemical and biological control methods can also be used.
Chemical methods include the use of various insecticides that kill adult shrews and larvae. But it is worth remembering the environmental risks when using aggressive substances.
The biological method of fighting the shrew is to use the drug Bacillus thuringensis, which is an insecticide and acts only on the larvae. This is a safe method of control that will not harm the health of animals and humans.
In general, to get rid of shrews in your area, you need to take a number of simple steps, such as replanting plants, installing barriers, or using chemical and biological control methods.
