What should I do if there are white bugs on the sunflowers? What kind of medicine should I use to spray them?

1. What happened?

During its growth period, it is easy to attract white bugs, also known as scale insects. This is usually caused by a hot and stuffy environment or soil that is too wet. Although this pest is relatively small, it reproduces quickly and will seriously harm the growth of plants in the later stages. Therefore, it is necessary to treat it as soon as possible when it is discovered to avoid further deterioration.

2. What to do

1. Mix white wine with water: You can mix white wine with water when processing. I had expired liquor at home, so I added water and put it in a spray bottle. Spray the surface of the soil layer of potted plants infected with scale insects, spray once every half a month, and continue spraying for four seasons to eliminate them.

2. Mix detergent with water: When you first discover the problem, you can spray it with detergent mixed with water, about 200-300 times the amount of water. When spraying, sprinkle it on the flower stems, and spray it every three to five days until the pests are eliminated.

3. Use tweezers to remove the pests: If you can see the pests with the naked eye and the number is relatively small, it is recommended to pinch them off directly with tweezers, or you can pinch off the infested stems and leaves. However, this method requires frequent observation in the later stages of treatment to avoid further infection.

4. Spraying medicine: You can also spray medicine during treatment. The medicine you can choose is Aphidicide, which is generally sold in flower shops. After buying it, just dilute it according to the instructions above. When spraying, sprinkle it on the flower stems, once every three to five days, and it will be eliminated in three or four times. However, if you do not want to be infected in the later stage, it is recommended to change the soil, change the pot, and clean the pot.
