Are there bugs in the pot? Hurry up and bury some of this, they will all die in 3 days!

Soil sterilization

If you want to eradicate insects or insect eggs in the soil, you must start with the potting soil.

1. Disinfection by exposure to sunlight

Before changing the pot and soil for the flowers, you need to place the prepared nutrient soil on the clean ground outdoors, spread it thinly, and expose it to sunlight. Turn over the soil every 3-5 days so that the part touching the ground can also be exposed to the sun. It will take about half a month to kill the insect eggs in the soil.

2. Disinfection with carbendazim

In order to avoid insect eggs in the soil, you can add some carbendazim and stir it when preparing the nutrient soil. The ratio of carbendazim to soil is 1:500. After stirring evenly, cover the soil with a film and wait for about 3-5 days until the smell of carbendazim has completely evaporated, then you can plant flowers.

sand

After disinfecting the soil and planting flowers, if you are still uneasy, you can spread a layer of sand on the surface of the flowerpot to prevent insects.

1. Place the prepared clean fine sand in the sun for 3-5 days.

2. Spread a thin layer of dried sand on the surface of the flower pot. After watering like this, mosquitoes will not be able to drill into the soil to lay eggs.

Mosquito-repellent coils

Nowadays, many families use mosquito coils because they are more convenient than mosquito coils and are clean and hygienic. Don't throw away used mosquito coils. Put them in flower pots to kill pests in the soil.

1. Take out the used mosquito coils and bury them in the soil of the flowerpot, about 3-5cm away from the surface of the soil. The residual medicine in the mosquito coils can kill the insects in the flowerpot.

2. If you don’t want to dig up the soil in the pot, just place the mosquito coils on the surface of the pot, which can also achieve the effect of repelling insects. Take out the mosquito coils when watering to avoid harming the flowers.

plant ash

Many flower lovers know that wood ash can be used as fertilizer, but they don’t know that wood ash is actually very effective in preventing and controlling pests!

1. You can usually sprinkle a thin layer of collected wood ash directly on the surface of the potting soil, and then add a little water to dissolve the wood ash. Wood ash can prevent insects because it can block the insects' respiratory tract and suffocate them to death.

2. You can also crush the wood ash and mix it with water in a ratio of 1:10 and mix it evenly. When watering, add some wood ash water to it, which can also kill insect eggs in the soil.

Mosquito-repellent incense ash

All flower lovers should know that lighting a mosquito coil next to a flower pot can kill some small insects, but most flower lovers don’t know that the ash of mosquito coils also has an insecticidal effect.

1. Collect the remaining mosquito coil ash after burning mosquito coils and spread a layer on the surface of the flower pot. The medicine remaining in the mosquito coil ash can prevent insects from approaching the flower pots and laying eggs in the soil.

2. When preparing nutrient soil, you can also mix mosquito coil ash into it. This way, the mosquito coil ash can play a role in sterilization and disinfection, preventing insect eggs from surviving in the potting soil.

Ash

I believe that many flower lovers have tried the trick of soaking tobacco in water to kill insects? In fact, not only tobacco, but also cigarette ash can kill insects!

1. Sprinkle a layer of cigarette ash accumulated in the ashtray on the surface of the flower pot. When watering, the cigarette ash will seep into the flowerpot along with the water, and the residual substances in the cigarette ash can kill the insects in the soil.

2. You can also collect all the cigarette butts, add water and soak them in a plastic bottle. When it is time to water the plants, mix the tobacco water and clean water in a ratio of 1:10 and pour it into the flower pots. This can also kill insect eggs in the soil.
