The common hawkweed is one of the biggest pests and its presence in the garden always means big problems. By digging underground corridors, these insects destroy the root systems of plants, which leads to their death. Adults can reach up to 6 cm, so more pests in the garden can literally ruin the crops. When we notice the turquoise beetle in time, we can effectively eradicate it from the ground.
What attracts turquoise? May is their favorite month
In May, we focus on intensive fertilization of our plants. We often use horse manure for this purpose, and it acts like a magnet on the turquoise. It is very attractive to them because it is a source of food and a potential hiding place. Pests like places where plant diversity and high soil moisture prevail. This attracts many grubs, small insects and larvae, which the turtles feed on as eagerly as the crops in our flower beds. To minimize their attraction, it is worth controlling soil moisture and avoiding excessive fertilization with organic matter.
How can you tell if there is a turquoise in your garden? By checking regularly, you will save your crops
The common turtle is nocturnal, so there is little chance of spotting insects during the day. However, they leave clear signals that indicate their presence. When regular tunnels appear in your garden and are visible on the soil surface, you can assume the presence of turquoise. We can often see feces and traces of burrowing on the ground. If you add the death of plants to this, the presence of turquoise is certain and you need to act quickly.

How to get rid of turquoise snacking? Fortunately, there are several methods for this
The Turtle podjadek may be a difficult opponent, but regular fighting will allow us to succeed. The simplest method to combat pests is to flood the tunnels with grease. My grandfather told me this patent. Add 3-4 tablespoons of oil to a large bottle of water and mix thoroughly. Pour the mixture into each of the tunnels and you will destroy the nests of pests. To get rid of adult individuals, it is a good idea to set up a trap. Near the tunnel entrances, dig a jar into the ground (the holes must be at ground level) and pour some vegetable oil into them. The turtles will fall into the trap and won’t be able to get out. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
