This old-fashioned method will destroy aphids in 24 hours! Gardeners keep quiet about it because it's so simple

Have you ever noticed how pests are eating your crops while you are spending money on expensive insecticides?

Everything you need to defeat aphids is already in your medicine cabinet.

Summer residents have been hiding this recipe for decades because it is too cheap and effective - it is not profitable for chemical manufacturers.

As you read these lines, tiny insects are sucking the juice out of your roses, cucumbers and apple trees, but in an hour you will be able to stop this invasion.

The secret is ammonia. Yes, that same bottle that costs pennies and has been gathering dust on the shelf for years.

Mix 50 ml of ammonia with 10 liters of water and add a tablespoon of laundry soap. Spray the plants in the evening, and by morning the aphids will be gone.

Why does it work? The ammonia in the composition literally burns the chitinous cover of pests, and the soap does not allow the solution to flow off the leaves.

But be careful: this method is only suitable for emergency cases. Frequent use can harm the soil, because nitrogen in large doses is dangerous.

The main thing is not to overdo it and not to tell your neighbors, otherwise your garden will become a place of pilgrimage for the “magic” recipe.

If aphids have attacked the seedlings, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the solution - it will clog the respiratory tract of the larvae.

For flowers with delicate petals, such as petunias, reduce the ammonia concentration by half to avoid burning.

Remember: the treatment must be carried out in calm weather, otherwise the solution will not reach the right place.

And if the aphids return after a week, don’t panic – just repeat the procedure, but no more than twice a month. Experts advise watering the plants with clean water after treatment to wash away any remaining ammonia.

And yes, don't forget about gloves - ammonia dries out the skin. This method saves not only from aphids, but also from ants that carry them. It has been proven: after such an attack, ant trails disappear as if they had never been there.
