The remedy for the bear in the garden should be as effective as safe. In most cases, folk remedies are used to combat the pest. With severe infection of the soil, they resort to the help of professional chemicals. A high result is achieved with their combined use, as well as with the implementation of preventive measures.
Thorough fight
The most effective remedy for the little bears - change in soil composition. The insect loves black soil, loose earth, moisture. But most of all he is attracted by the smell of cow dung. Gardeners with their own hands contribute to the infection of the site by scattering manure infected with eggs. Fertilizer increases the acidity of the earth, creates favorable conditions for the development of the bear.
There are two ways to avoid all this:
- Spread manure not in the spring before plowing, as is done in most cases, but in the late autumn. Then, with the onset of cold weather, eggs, larvae, as well as adults who are going to winter in a dunghill, will die.
- Instead of cow dung use chicken droppings. This is the best way to deal with the bear. The insect does not tolerate a pungent odor, as well as nitrogen-saturated soil, which contributes to chicken droppings.
On a note!
Do not forget to periodically loosen the soil. In this way, the pest’s nests are destroyed, the eggs are destroyed.
Safe methods of struggle
Folk remedies for the bear in the garden involve catching, scaring away, killing insects. There are a huge number of recipes, the most common and effective of them are as follows:
Traps
Remedy for the bear, which can significantly reduce the number of pests in the garden. Species traps there are many.
- They make indentations, moisturize with water, dig a plastic bottle or a beer can under the slope. Pre-poured there 100 ml of water, beer or put the bait. Cover with plywood so that the light does not penetrate. You can use other suitable material. One bottle holds up to 12 adult cubs.
- They dig a hole about 20 cm deep. They cover it with plastic wrap and spread manure in 1/3 of the part. Cover with planks. At the end of the month, the contents are removed along with the package, burned. Late autumn can be left in the cold.
- Turn on the lantern in the evening, place a bucket of soapy water under it. Bears fly into the light, hit a lantern, fall into the water.
Means of dealing with the bear are selected individually, taking into account the area, degree of infection, personal preferences.

Lures
Means of combating the bear according to popular recipes include the preparation of poisonous bait. At home, they use boric acid or drugs based on broad-spectrum insecticides: WofatoxAntizhuk, Rembek and etc.
Loose porridge is prepared, mixed with boric acid or an insecticide. Add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil. This smell loves the bear. Small balls are formed, dug into the ground, laid in holes, placed at the bottom of the trap.
Folk remedies do not guarantee complete disposal of pests on the site. With a strong infection of the soil, there is no time to experiment, it will not work to catch all the traps. In this case, insecticides begin to use heavy artillery tools.
Professional methods of struggle
Medications from the bear are released in finished form, in the form of granules or in liquid form. The active component is a toxic substance that affects the activity of the nervous system.
Poison blocks the transmission of impulses, provokes muscle paralysis, and causes death. The speed of the result depends on the amount of poison ingested by the insect. New generation insecticides (Parachute, Regent 800, Watafox) cause death within 3 hours, for such an outcome a minimal dose is sufficient.
On a note!
Insecticides in the fight against the bear act for 14 days, then dissolve under the influence of light, ambient temperature. Do not threaten human life, do not affect the growth, quality of garden crops, do not change the composition of the soil. Chemistry acts on all insects in the soil. It destroys not only the bear, but also other pests.
Chopping
Pellets Chops off the bear and wireworm green, red. The basis is taken millet grain. The active component is fipronil. They are laid out in grooves at a distance of 5 cm from the soil surface, sprinkled with earth. Or placed throughout the garden at a distance of 50 cm from each hole.
Mass death of the bear occurs after 1-2 weeks of use. Dead bodies occur on the surface of the soil for a month. Processing should be carried out before plowing, again - in the breeding season.

Reviews of the funds are positive, but the complete destruction of the bear can be achieved only in combination with folk remedies, methods of prevention.
A reliable safe method from the bear is crushed eggshell. Pour into holes with seedlings, between rows with seeds or throughout the garden. In addition, add the garlic teeth. Do not need anything else.
Fertilized the garden with bird droppings instead of cow dung, and this is the end. It is much more useful for soil, plants and with benefit from the bear.
Bear traps can be set throughout the garden. Empty bottles are not a pity. The best bait is beer. Loosen the soil periodically, destroying the eggs.
Manure catches them best. A pit with polyethylene is the best option. You can then burn it or leave it to freeze.
We scattered manure in the fall, in the spring the bear was not so much as last year. Then they made a hole. They didn’t drop in for the whole summer. With the onset of the first frosts scattered. Bears are thermophilic creatures. Lowering the temperature below +12 degrees Celsius is already uncomfortable for them.
Chops - the most reliable tool. I dug granules and watch what is happening. It is 100% valid.
Prepared bait, mixed with boric acid. She laid it out in traps and just dug it up. It helped.
Tzipi, it seems to me this is too much. The active component is too strong, you can suffer yourself. Better special remedies for the bear. All this is taken into account there. Do not invent.
Agree. There are professional tools. They are not so expensive, why reinvent the wheel. Have bought Rubit or the like and enjoy the result. He is. Checked.
