Protecting Plants From Pests
Submitted by: Stewart Wrighter
Do you know why insects are loathed around the world? It is
because they are fast, creepy, obnoxious little creatures.
Though some insects have benefits for humans in one way or the
other, many cause damage to your furniture; clothes or even to
plants. Nevertheless, with suitable termite control, you can
wash your hands off those notorious creatures. Disappointment is
everywhere when you see your damaged plants ruthlessly uprooted
by pests. With raccoon removal you can get a permanent solution
for your problem. Likewise, when bugs bother your plants, you
first have to identify the bugs in order to keep them at bay.
It is a common observation that some bugs can always be seen
over the soil while others come up only when you water the
plant. For eliminating them once and for all, a little bit of
information about them will do no harm. The first thing to do is
inspect your plant thoroughly.
Have a closer examination of your plants twice a week if
possible. This will tell whether any of your plants are attacked
by some invaders. You can also use a magnifying glass to see
various angles of leaves. When a pest attacks some plants, its
symptoms are obvious. This examination is meant to identify the
symptoms of infestation. For instance, brown leaves or leaves
getting curled at the edges are signs enough that there has been
a bug infestation. Well these are just the signs of attack;
there are some pests that are visible to eyes.
The need is to identify the plants and separate them from the
remaining plants. This will prevent the other plants from
getting infected. By separating, you are actually putting a
break to the spread of pest. Once that is done, you have to find
out the type of bug damaging your plant.
In case, you see discoloration, spider mites could be the
causative agents. If you are suspecting this very agent then
also check the underside of those leaves. When you see a web
there it means you were right. As far as aphids are concerned,
they are easy to see with your eyes. They again reside on the
underside of leaves and are usually found in colonies. When
scarring of leaves occur then scale insects or trips are to be
blamed.
With this information, you can move to the extermination of
these bugs. The remedy depends on the type of bug bothering your
plant. Also it should be such that only the pest is destroyed
but no harm is caused to the plant. For aphids, you can apply
insecticidal soap and water. Applying them through spray
bottles works well because in this way you can reach all part of
the plant. Repeat the procedure until you find the insect is
disappeared.
Some bugs are resistant against this mixture. In that case you
can use a cotton swab with alcohol to rub on the surface of
plant. You will get effective results by repeating the process.
If you intend to DIY, there is a strong need to have a plan in
place. After that it is not difficult to keep those bugging
creatures at bay.
