How to get rid of beetle at home? You will quickly forget about chemicals from the store
If you want to find a quick and easy way to deal with the Colorado potato beetle, prepare a cheap one. Do you have this popular product in your kitchen? If so, the operation will be much simpler. If not, just go to your nearest grocery store.
All you need is regular skim milk, which most of us have in the fridge. Dilute about 1 liter of the product in 10 liters of water (adjust the proportions to your needs and the number of crops that require spraying) and pour the finished product into a spray bottle. Now all you have to do is go to the garden, spray the affected plants and watch them fall off the leaves. You can use the product regularly.

What to use to make a natural spray for the beetle? Take advantage of the effects of tansy
It turns out that the beetle doesn’t like tansy either, so it’s worth having it in your garden and preparing an appropriate infusion if necessary. Get 300 g of fresh leaves and then pour 10 liters of hot water over them. Wait a whole day, strain and dilute the mixture with water in a 1:2 ratio. Spray pests when the air temperature is not too high. For example, a cool evening will work. When using home-made preparations, be careful not to use them in hot weather, as such liquids may burn the plants. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
