These small things must be dealt with promptly
Many gardening enthusiasts have experienced the heart-wrenching scene where carefully nurtured green plants are eaten away overnight, with leaves riddled with suspicious wormholes. This article focuses on four common plant pests and provides practical prevention and control solutions to help you build a healthy plant ecosystem.
Top Stubborn Pest: Scale Insect Control
Harmful Characteristics and Spread Patterns
This pest, resembling white wax spots, has super reproductive power and particularly favors succulents, such as cacti and other fleshy-stemmed varieties. Its secretions can cause sooty mold, leading to secondary damage.
Three Emergency Response Steps
1. Baijiu Therapy: Mix 50-degree or higher-proof Baijiu with water in a 1:2 ratio, focusing on spraying the areas where pests gather, three times a week for continuous control. 2. (Y-J) Pest Control: Soak 10 cigarette butts for 24 hours to make a natural insecticide suitable for small-scale pest control. 3. Acid Erosion: The pure white vinegar spot application method is effective for dense pest groups; rinse promptly after treatment to avoid burning the plants.

Ecological Control Strategy
Introduce natural predators like lady beetles to carry out biological control and establish a balanced garden ecosystem. Individual plants can be physically cleaned with alcohol swabs.
Preventive Disinfection Plan
Soaking garlic in water and spraying it weekly can form a protective barrier, and adding a small amount of dishwashing liquid can enhance adhesion.
Hidden Killer: Red Spider Elimination Campaign
Identification and Isolation
The main characteristic is the cobweb-like secretions on the back of the leaves, and the affected plants need to be isolated immediately to prevent cross-infection.
Triple Elimination Methods
1. Suffocation Method: Use flour paste to block the air holes, then rinse after 2 hours. 2. Soap Alkali Disinfection: Sulfur soap solution to destroy the protective layer of the pest. 3. Nutritional Trap: Expired milk attraction and elimination method.
Deadly Assassin: Thrips Control System
Comprehensive Control Plan
Combine color board trapping (yellow and blue sticky boards) with chemical treatment to implement precise strikes on pest eggs hidden in the flower buds.
Innovative Disinfection Formula
Diluted disinfectant solution shows excellent disinfection effects, combined with soil treatment using menthol oil to form a three-dimensional protection.
By establishing a regular inspection system and combining the physical disinfection and biological control methods introduced in this article, an effective plant protection system can be built. It is recommended to conduct preventive spraying monthly, maintain good ventilation, and keep your green plants free from pest troubles.
