Bark beetles are planted: fighting with them in the garden and in the house

Bark beetle - a beetle though small, but very importunate, it is difficult to cope with it. Indeed, it is not so easy to destroy insects that live not on the surface, but inside trees. Bark beetles (combating them - a complex procedure) affect the garden planting, causing the death of trees. Do not disdain them and wooden structures, so that your house is also under threat.

To track the moment when the bug is only populated in a new place is difficult. The pest is usually found after the traces of its vigorous activity. If you saw on the tree trunk or on the floors of the house small round holes, powdered with sawdust, be sure - it's bark beetles. The fight against them must begin immediately, otherwise everything will end in complete destruction. The bred insects will just eat wood, and the fact that they do not have time to chew will ruin the fungus, which will appear in the void.

Now let's take a closer look at the ways to eliminate the pest. First of all, do not neglect prophylaxis. Do not leave dry and damaged branches on the tree - they must be cut off immediately and burned. Places of slices carefully cover with garden fumes. Carefully inspect the trunks - so you do not miss the first signs of bark damage.

Measures to combat bark beetle also include chemical treatment of trees. Spraying is best done immediately after the flowering period. It is at this time that the beetles are massed out. Repeat the procedure after 14 days. Carefully coat each centimeter of the surface with a solution. The trunk, twigs, leaves - do not miss anything.

Preparations for combating bark beetle include such things as Decis, Vectra, Aktara, Calypso, Confidor, Sherpa, BI-58. They all contain toxic substances. When working, be sure to put on clothing that completely hides the body. Get a respirator, rubber gloves, goggles. And do not step back from the instructions for the insecticide!

In addition to external sputtering, good results are obtained by injecting the poison directly into the moves left by the insects. For these purposes, a syringe is useful.

And what should I do if the bark beetles settled in the house? The fight with them will be more difficult, because you probably do not want to arrange a chemical attack in a dwelling. But you can not leave everything without intervention. Collapsed ceiling beam, a failed floor - this is the result of ignoring the problem.

In the event that the lesions have only been spotted, it is possible to inject low-toxic drugs ("Confidor", "Antizhuk", "Vektra", "Anti-Suschel") into the holes made by parasites. Instead of chemical insecticides, it is sometimes used drying oil, machine oil. Care must be taken to ensure the integrity of the wooden surfaces. Any damage immediately paint over or cover with the same drying oil, stain. In neglected cases, still have to call professionals who will conduct a comprehensive cleaning of the house. But you will have to leave your home for a couple of days.

Of course, once you will not abandon the bark beetles. The fight against them must be regular. Only then it will be possible to achieve success!
