What should I do if Monstera has insects?

1. Reasons for the appearance of long worms

There are many reasons why it gets infested with insects. It may be because too much water causes the roots to rot, which deteriorates the growth of the plant. In addition, if there is no timely ventilation, bacteria will invade over time and attract those small insects. Moreover, newly transplanted plants are likely to attract pests because they are not adapted to the new environment.

2. How to get rid of insects

1. In order to get rid of insects, you can use avermectin together with water and spray it on the places where the insects appear. If there are a lot of insects, you need to cut off the infested areas with a sharp knife and then spray them. Or you can use a cotton swab to dip a little medicine and apply it to the area where the insects are. Usually, the insects can be killed immediately.

2. You can also dissolve your own laundry detergent in water and spray it on places where insects appear. This will suffocate the insects to death. The same goes for rice water, you can give it a try. Insects hate these smells.

3. Because improper use of pesticides may cause injury, simpler methods can also be used for pest control. Get an old toothbrush from home and gently brush off the bugs on the leaves. After you are done cleaning, just burn all the tools.
