Folk remedies against the bear

The main advantage of using folk remedies to get rid of a bear is that you do not use chemistry, although certain methods still include the use of chemicals in combination with folk tricks. However, it should be understood that some of the methods and means are not capable of destroying all the cabbage in the garden, but in combination and in the complex they will be very effective.

Advice! Please note that the proposed remedies help to fight the bear at different stages of its appearance. For example, you can pre-protect the garden from the invasion of pests (even in the fall or early spring), or just the time of planting seedlings, or work "in fact" the appearance of cabbage in the garden.

Vegetable bait

Use a large enough carrot or beet. In order for an alluring smell to emanate from the root crop, slightly break or damage its shell. Dig a hole along the length of the entire carrot, put the root vegetable there and cover it with earth. Then spread the poisoned baits around the carrots and slightly dip them. To spread the odor even more, water the place where the bait is embedded.

Dung bait

When you dig up the beds in the fall, put a few dung heaps in the garden (and it is best to take horse manure). It can also be done in early spring. When, with the onset of warmth, the bear wakes up and begins to lay eggs, then most likely she will choose one of these dung heaps. You just have to burn it in a timely manner.

Boiled porridge bait

Boil pearl barley, oatmeal or buckwheat porridge, add fragrant unrefined oil to it for an attractive smell in a proportion of 1 tbsp. a spoonful of vegetable oil in a 0.5 liter jar of porridge. And then put one of the chemical sending drugs against the bear into the porridge and spread it in the cabbage paths.

Traps with beer, honey or yeast with sugar

Take a bottle or jar and lightly fill it with beer, water with yeast and sugar, or brush with honey. Dig a hole not far from the typical habitats of the bear, put a container there and dig in with earth. Cover the top with a sheet of cardboard, gauze or a bucket lid (depending on the container used). When the cabbage comes to an attractive smell for her, it will fall into a trap and will no longer be able to get out.

Important! For more information on making each of the traps, see the videos below.

Note! This method is unlikely to cope with a large invasion of the bear, but it will do quite well for solving issues with small pests. Moreover, it is very entertaining.

Roofing material lures

Put the old pieces of roofing material directly on the noticed cabbage passages, and then press them on top with pebbles and leave. The fact is that the bear most of all loves to make nests where the earth is moist and well warmed up, namely, under the black roofing material, the necessary conditions are created. When the time comes, put on gloves and lift up the roofing felt sharply. Most likely, you will find a whole nest of cabbage cabbage that you will need to destroy with your hands or other objects.

Egg shell treatment

Start collecting in advance eggshell... As soon as there is a sufficient amount, crush it well so that it is of a medium fraction (5 by 5 mm), but in no case free-flowing, like sand (flour). When the crushed shell is ready, pour it over with unrefined oil for a more attractive smell (although many use it without oil). Even before planting the seedlings, while digging the beds or creating grooves, sprinkle it all eggshell... When the bear shows up and begins to feast on her, she will not be able to digest it.

A solution of detergent and dishwashing detergent

At the bottom of the bucket, you need to pour a little washing powder (a couple of handfuls) and pour a little (about 2-3 tablespoons) of any dishwashing liquid. Then add some water, dissolve well until a good soapy solution is obtained. After that, fill the bucket to the top and water the bear burrows in the garden.

Important! The method is rather controversial (because the powder contains phosphates, synthetic flavors and other additives that are not very useful for the soil), but effective.

Soap solution

Take 100 grams of laundry or tar soap and grate. Then dissolve in a bucket of water and pour the bear's minks. For those cabbage that will crawl to the surface, beat it with a shovel or some other object (for example, a fork). All other insects must die in their poisoned holes.

Note! The method is very similar to the previous one, but soap solution is safer than detergent.

Birch tar solution

Take sawdust and birch tar (very effective and environmentally friendly). In order for the sawdust not to acidify the soil, they must first be poured with boiling water, and then add tar (2-3 tablespoons of the product per 1 liter of water) and mix well. When you plant the seedlings, put sawdust soaked in tar at a depth of 2 centimeters next to the seedlings, and then sprinkle with earth. When the smell disappears, the seedlings will become strong enough, and the bear will no longer be able to do significant harm to it.

A solution of ammonia (ammonia)

A solution of ammonia (ammonia) is not only an excellent feeding, but also an effective method in the fight against a bear. You need to dilute the product as follows: take 10% ammonia and add 1 tbsp to 10 liters of water. spoon, stirring well. Water the newly planted seedlings under the root with the solution, try not to get on the leaves. After the water is absorbed, mulch with loose and dry soil so that ammonia does not evaporate for a long time, but acts in the soil.

Plant repellents

Cabbage can not stand the smell of certain plants: flowers, trees, vegetables and greenery.

To protect against the bear, you can plant the following flowers around the beds: marigold, chrysanthemums and calendula.

Conifers (sprigs of fir, pine or spruce), which should be placed along the beds, are excellent against cabbage.

You can also stick fresh alder or aspen branches into the soil. The branches should be 2-4 centimeters in diameter, and the embedment depth should be about 20-30 centimeters.

By the way! The bear has natural enemies: crows, starlings, hoopoes, shrews, lizards, molesand hedgehogs. Perhaps crows still do not need to be attracted to your site, but starlings and hedgehogs are quite acceptable.
