Proper Soil Fertilizer

You can remove cabbage from the garden with manure, if used correctly. Medvedka loves fertile soil, willingly lives in black soil. Prefers to settle near, under or inside the dunghill. Cow feces are especially attracted to her. In the manure, the bear hibernates, lays eggs.

Advice:

  • Instead of cow dung, use chicken droppings. Fertilizer repels insects by the smell, makes the soil for the bear unattractive, living impossible. Chicken droppings prevent soil contamination, expel existing pests.
  • If you scatter manure in the garden in the spring, and after a few days plow the soil, you can propagate a bear on your own land with your own efforts. If the manure is scattered in the fall, the larvae will die.
  • Dig a small hole in the garden, cover it with foil, throw manure there during the summer. In the late autumn with the onset of the first frost, tear. Low temperatures will kill larvae, adults that cannot dig a hole in hardened soil. There is another option - to allow the cubs to winter in the manure, in the spring to burn the whole bunch.

If you use mineral fertilizers, the soil becomes less attractive to pests, but does not completely exclude the appearance of the bear in the area.

A lantern is lit, a bucket of soapy water or a solution of kerosene is placed under it. The insect hits the lantern, falls into a bucket, dies.

The bear is attracted by the moisture that comes from the bottle, the strong smell of beer, sweet honey. Under the rays of the sun, linoleum heats up, the bear climb to warm up.

    Terrible creatures are these bears. I think no means will allow to get rid of absolutely everyone on the site. And here, recommendations with chicken litter are sensible.

    1. Maksim

      I agree.Moreover, chicken droppings are bred in water, the green parts of the plant are sprayed. Bears gnaw at them. To the benefit of the soil, tomatoes, cabbage, all garden crops, to the detriment of the bear.

  2. Irina

    I impregnated rags with liquid ammonia. Left in the beds. You can still put them in a plastic bag, make small holes. So the smell lasts longer.

  3. Ilya

    I use chicken droppings, neighbors cow dung. They can’t get rid of the bear, they are not in my garden. I’m not doing anything, just fertilizing the earth correctly.

      I also heard that there are more pests in the garden with cow dung. We always scatter fertilizer in the fall, but once the bears wound up. Bred birch tar.

  4. Michael

    Effective traps. I especially like the trick with a lantern and a bucket. In the evening, such fun begins. Harvest in the morning.

  5. Anton

    They dug beer bottles. Well caught. For a week in each of several pieces. But you also need to scare away something.

  6. Veronica

    It is necessary to plant more garlic, calendula and chrysanthemum in the garden. Nice and helpful. The fight is on its own. A few bears in the garden are even useful. They loosen the soil like moles.

  7. Denis

    You can still make small holes, throw sand soaked in kerosene there. I so protected the greenhouse from intrusion.
