In the spring and summer, which are the peak season for nursing cares, many homeowners and gardeners are preparing for resolving different animal and insects.

Rough one of the more destructive pests of lawns and garden, and although there are commercial products that can be used to kill, some of them can be poisonous to pets if they are swallowing.

It is desirable to use non-toxic pet maintenance methods and to encourage pollers, so we collected suggestions for help using your bra. Some gardeners think that the penny on the lawn will distract from the bra, although after talking to some experts, we learned that may not be the case.

What are rough?

The coarse larvae is the shape of the bubbles. Mary Jane Duford, pet home plate and founder of the garden website home for harvest, says to feed the roots of plants and usually remain below the surface of the soil.

Some rough in their cutting form can make great damage to plants, so most gardeners try to eliminate them if possible. For example, the Japanese infestation of the bug can rapidly damage the bushes of roses, and sometimes irreversibly, so that they deal with graves early is a good idea.

Will the penny on the ground keep the rough away?

Folklore around pennies and clump suggests that when the rough comes into contact with money, copper causes a weak electric shock that drives away from the remaining area.

However, there is not enough copper in modern money to cause this phenomenon, because the pennies are no longer made of solid copper (which is now too valuable for use to make pennies), but from copper zinc.

Duford says there is no evidence that this method works, but suggests some other non-toxic ways to solve the bra.

Alternative methods for a choke attempt

Although the expulsion of a penny in soil could be an interesting experiment for attempts, there are more efficient, non-toxic ways to solve rough, and we have received some professional advice on which methods are best.

Nematodes

Duford suggests the use of beneficial nematodes to help deterrent a clump. These microscopic worms work by entering body bodies and releasing bacteria that kill them by breaking tissues, she explains.

Duford especially recommends nematodes of species Heterorhabditis bacterioforaAnd to use them at the end of the summer when young rough vulnerable. It also suggests that they apply them during a cloudy time to avoid sun damage and watering well before and after treatment, because it helps nematodes to meet through the ground.

Improve the lawn

Improving the texture of the lawn will be replied with coarsely, which harder prefer wet, compacted soils, Duford explains. The texture can be improved through ventilation and natural feeding methods such as top topping with compost or watering with compost tea. Duford also recommends not to overcome, because coarses are more difficult to flourish in wet soil.

It also suggests that planting a mix of different grass seeds: this allows for healthy roots to develop and help prevent the infection of rough. Annette Hird, gardener and horticultural writer, says only organic fertilizers on the lawn and add a lot of compost to keep the soil healthy and improve his texture, which will reduce the possibility of residence.

Milky spores

This soil additive is especially targeted by the Japanese bug. It is used according to the direction of the package, milk dispute is effective in deterring these destructive bugs with bacteria that infect larvae (roughers) and spread through the ground.

Duford says that the milk slow powder is best applied during the late summer or early fall when coarse are more likely to feed near the surface of the soil. It also says that this product works best in warm soil and can take several years of annual use to achieve a full effect.

Encourage birds

Many birds enjoy eating different insects and worms, including rough. Hird believes that black birds, which are ground floor feeders, tend to eat insects in the lawn, including worms and coarses, and Robins eat and lawn errors.

You can attract black birds and other ground feeding birds by scattering some seeds and installing investors with low platforms. Having birds is also another option. By attracting birds to your yard is overall well-being, because it improves biodiversity by spreading useful links of various forms of plant and animal life.
