What to Do When Your Plants Get Bugs? 4 Pest Control Methods You Can Easily Learn in 2 Minutes

Many people like to keep a few potted green plants indoors. They can decorate the home environment, soothe the mind, and cultivate patience and attentiveness. But when growing flowers, pests always seem to appear, such as red spider mites, aphids, black gnats, and so on. They are really such a nuisance. Today I will teach you 4 little methods that take 2 minutes, and even a child can learn them! Simple and practical.

First, when pests appear on a potted plant at home, isolate that potted plant from the other healthy potted plants, otherwise it is very easy to spread.

Method One: Rinse First, Then Soak

When potted plants at home get red spider mites and aphids, it seriously affects their appearance, and the pests also gnaw on the tender leaves. At this time, you can first use a spray head to wash the red spider mites and aphids off the leaf surface. This step alone cannot wipe out the pests all at once.

So we prepare the second step: turn the potted plant upside down and soak the branches and leaves in water for about one hour. The pests will then drop into the water due to lack of oxygen. This can kill the remaining pests and eggs from the previous step. It is very simple and convenient.

Method Two: Gently Wipe Both Sides of the Leaves

If the number of pests is relatively small and you discover them relatively early, then you can completely use this method. It not only cleans the leaves but also kills the pests. The method is simple and practical.

Method Three: Fumigation Method

Nowadays black gnats appear very easily, flying around the room, and they are very annoying. When these black gnats appear, we can cover the potted plant with a plastic bag and burn a mosquito coil inside, which can fumigate the black gnats to death without polluting the environment. It is convenient and practical.

Method Four: Neutral Laundry Detergent Spraying Method

When pests appear, we can dilute neutral laundry detergent 1000 times and use it to spray the leaf surface, spraying both the front and back. Spray once every 3 to 4 days, and after about two to three sprays, the red spider mites, aphids, and their eggs can be killed. The method is simple and does not pollute the environment.
