Poison from the Colorado potato beetle Beetle: reviews

Every year, gardeners have to think about how to protect their potato crop from the Colorado potato beetle. After winter, females begin to actively lay eggs. Each individual is capable of producing about 500 eggs. After about 3 weeks, small larvae are born, which eat the leaves of the potato. I am glad that there are a huge number of effective drugs that can destroy almost all beetles in 1 procedure. These means include the drug "Zhukoed". In this article, we will take a closer look at its properties and how to use it.

Description of the drug "Zhukoed"

The manufacturer of this drug is the August company. It is safe to say that the manufacturers have tried very hard while working on this tool. They took into account all the factors and the effect of various substances on pests. Thanks to this, a 3 in 1 product was obtained, which kills not only adults, but also larvae, and even eggs. Such properties of the drug satisfied many gardeners.

The tool contains the following substances:

  1. Imidacloprid... It is an effective fast-acting substance that can accumulate in the green mass of the plant. Then, when eating the leaves, the beetles simply paralyze.
  2. Alpha cypermethrin... It is able to paralyze the pest, thanks to the effect on the nervous system. The substance begins to act within an hour after entering the body. Alpha-cypermethrin is in the second safety class, which means that the substance can be hazardous to human health. If the drug gets on the body and mucous membranes, it is necessary to immediately rinse the throat and nose, and also take a shower. Next, you should drink activated charcoal and use the services of a doctor.
  3. Clothianidin... The substance also accumulates in the plant. Remains effective over a long period of time. Causes death in insects.

Testimonials

Maria Olegovna, 37 years old, Krasnodar city
I have been looking for a good remedy for the Colorado potato beetle for a long time. A friend advised me to try the "Beetle Eater", claiming that only he was saved from annoying insects. Now I join her words. This is really an excellent tool that destroys every last beetle on the site. Of course, after the rains, all the bushes have to be sprayed again, as the substance is washed off. But this is the problem with all such drugs.
Pavel Alexandrovich, 45 years old, Moscow city
We have a very small plot of potatoes at our dacha. In principle, it would be possible to manually collect pests. However, there is not enough time for this. Sometimes, you arrive, and the beetles are already eating up some of the bushes. The beetle-eater is our main assistant. The main thing is to have time to carry out the processing. It is very easy to dilute and use the drug, even an inexperienced can handle it. As for me, an excellent poison for beetles.
