How to prevent mosquitoes from infesting your home

1. Sterilize the soil

Most insects come from insect eggs, and most insect eggs exist in the potting soil. Therefore, if you want to completely prevent and control insects, you still have to start from the soil.

Steps:

1. Disinfection by exposure to the sun. Before planting flowers, you can put the prepared nutrient soil on the clean ground, spread a thin layer on the ground and expose it to the sun. Turn the soil about once every 2-3 days so that the part touching the ground can also be exposed to the sun. It will take about 10-15 days to kill the insect eggs in the soil.

2. Disinfection with carbendazim. When preparing nutrient soil, mix in some carbendazim. The ratio of carbendazim to soil is 1:500. Then stir evenly and cover with a film. Wait about 2-4 days until the smell of carbendazim evaporates and then you can plant flowers.

3. Steaming and disinfection. You can steam the nutrient soil on the fire for about 30-60 minutes, then take out the soil and dry it in the sun. You can use it when the temperature drops. You can also heat the soil in a microwave for a few minutes and use it after it is dried.

Pest Control

Using this method, any mosquitoes can be avoided.

2. Add some wood ash to the soil

The wood ash that can be found everywhere in rural areas can actually be used to suppress insect pests. Many flower lovers may not know this, right?

Steps:

1. Crush the wood ash and put it in a bucket, then add water in a ratio of 1:10, stir and mix evenly to get wood ash extract.

2. When watering daily, you can choose to water the roots; you can also use a spray bottle to spray on the leaves and plants to prevent pests.

3. You can also sprinkle the wood ash directly on the surface of the potting soil, and then spray a little water to allow the wood ash to dissolve.
