Reviews

We have a large family, in order to feed everyone we have to plant a large part of the garden with potatoes. It’s impossible to collect the Colorado beetles manually from such an area! Therefore, it is necessary to use insecticides. Recently I came across Clotiamet, which costs a penny. Processed the whole plot with her husband, the beetles instantly died. Harvest pleased us and fed us until spring.
