Bugs bark beetles are the real disaster for green plantings. They damage wood, depriving plant of opportunity to receive necessary nutrients. If you do not take protective measures and in time do not distinguish tree infection with bark beetles, then one hundred insects less than in month will ruin adult plant. Wreckers also cause serious damage to old wooden constructions. To destroy bark beetle happens hardly, however some ways help to cope with this misfortune.
It is required to you
- - medicine insecticide;
- - sprayer and disposable syringe;
- - measures of individual protection;
- - saw, the axe and shovel for rooting out of stubs;
- - mix from clay, manure (option: humus, manure and slaked lime);
- - drying oil and oil paint;
- - warm water and rags for cleaning of walls.
Instruction
1. Attentively examine all trees on the site in time to notice the first signs of penetration of bark beetles into trunk. On bark of sick tree you can see characteristic traces and round openings and also congestions of sawdust ("boring flour"); at roots the fallen-down escapes with the opening conducting inside can accumulate. If bark begins to fall down with trunk, then the tree will not manage to be saved any more.
2. Try to cure the plant infected with bark beetles. It is necessary to enter into the openings made by bugs by means of the syringe solution of special means insecticide against garden wreckers (such as Calypso, Konfidor, Vektra; some gardeners note also good effect of use of the domestic medicines "Empayr-20", "Antizhuk" and "Antishashelin"). Precisely adhere to application instructions on chemical packing!
3. After destructive injections it is necessary to spray carefully tree after blossoming in morning or evening. It does not make sense to do it in rainy weather. In two weeks surely carry out secondary processing of bark and leaves to ruin the remained bark beetles. Do not forget to take all measures of individual protection: put on clothes with long sleeves and trouser-legs, rubber boots and gloves, goggles and mask for protection of respiratory organs.
4. Clear the site of trees which are strongly struck by bark beetles – the majority of sick plants will not manage to be saved even the most modern means. According to biologists, the overwhelming number of bugs bark beetles strikes old and already unhealthy trees. Completely to remove all possible focuses of the disease, cut the dry, infected, badly taken roots plants. Root out stubs; take out all wood remains out of borders of the site and burn.
5. Do preventive processing of all trees in the yard or in garden. Cover their trunks with mix of clay and manure or humus, manure and slaked lime in every spring. If the site with green plantings old, periodically exposed to invasion of wreckers, then it is necessary to repeat protective manipulations to 2-3 times after a while.
