There are several effective folk remedies that help get rid of the pest. The main thing is that the weather outside is dry and windless.
Garlic infusion is rightfully considered one of the best and most effective. For this, 100 grams of garlic per 1 liter of water is enough, which is crushed and added to the liquid.
The resulting mixture is infused for 24 hours and then boiled for 20 minutes. The resulting solution must be diluted with water in a ratio of 5:1 and sprayed on the bushes.
