What to do if there are bugs in flower pots in summer

Orange peel pest control

Sometimes, we find that many small flying insects will grow around the flowers. In this case, orange peels can be of great help! Soak fresh orange peels in water, then use the orange peel water to water the flowers, you can get rid of the small black flies. In addition, you can also put the orange peels directly in the flowerpots and water them as usual to prevent and control small flying insects.

Milk box deworming

Cut the milk carton open, smooth it, fold up the edges, apply some oil in the middle, and then put the milk carton in the flowerpot. It will help prevent and control insects. Also, I would like to remind everyone that the edges of the milk carton must be handled well and do not let the oil flow into the flowerpot!

Sand deworming

This method can be said to solve the problem of insects in the potting soil from the root. First of all, we can think about why insects appear in the flower pots? This is because insect eggs appear in the soil. So if we put a layer of sand or gravel on the top of the flowerpot, the larvae will not be able to come out. Will this solve the problem?

Attract insects

We all know that yellow is a color that attracts insects very much. If you want to deal with small flying insects, it is important to prepare a yellow cloth or board, smear some sugar or oil and other substances that insects like on it, and hang it next to the flower pot. These insects will be tempted to fly on it, and then be stuck and unable to escape. This solves the problem.

Pay attention to ventilation

In fact, insects appear in flower pots because the soil in the pots is moist, and the temperature is high in summer. In this case, it is easy to breed insects. If you want to fundamentally solve this problem, daily maintenance work is very important. In daily life, you should pay attention to placing flower pots in well-ventilated locations such as balconies, and pay attention to watering reasonably and control the amount of water. The rotten leaves in the flower pots should be cleaned up in time to ensure that the soil in the pots is clean, so you don’t have to worry about insects growing in the soil.
