How to get rid of a bear in the garden
Folk methods
- Plant around the perimeter of your gardenTurkish carnation. She just drove away the voracious pest from your site for the whole summer! Its smell is pleasant for a person, but unbearable for a bear.
- Удобрите почву куриным пометом.To do this, you need to scatter a very thin layer throughout the garden, and then dig up the area. Here you can, as they say, catch two birds with one stone: process the plants, and drive the Medvedka. Why precisely chicken droppings? Because, unlike the cow, in it ammonia is much more!
- Есть весьма оригинальный способ того, как get rid of a bear in the garden. And not from one, but immediately from the whole brood. We find small holes in the ground - the holes made by the pest. We put a finger in them and lead them in a spiral in the direction of the Medvedkin’s passage. After a while we will be buried in the pest's nest. This is a small compaction of the earth, whose diameter is about 3 centimeters. Take this little ball and pull it out. Outwardly, it will look like a dense ball. Break it in half. What do we see inside? A lot of white eggs! Sometimes their number reaches 50 pieces! Imagine, in one fell swoop, we immediately killed a whole Medvedkin brood! Now let's find out how to get rid of a medvedka on a garden plot with the help of chemistry.
Chemical methods
- Take advantage of homemade poisonedlures Take, for example, cans of canned food or cut the bottom of a plastic bottle. Pour there cooked poison. Its composition: on 1 kilogram of any grain (oats, corn, wheat, bran, peas) add 30 grams of sunflower (unrefined) oil and 50 grams of Karbofos. Bury the bait in the ground to a depth of about 5 centimeters (or pack them in the medvedkino mink). Death does not make the pest wait long.
- Another way to get rid of a bearin the garden, about the same as the previous one, but still has some differences. Buy ready-made poison for the bear in the store, add it to any cooked porridge (for 1 kg of porridge add 6 g of poison). On the beds, make holes between the seedlings, bury the bait-poison in them, then cover it with earth or cardboard sheet (so that the birds do not peck). Leave a small gap so that the pest can get into the trap.
