How to deal with bears in the garden - we use radical means

Hello! I am very kind to my garden, because for me it is the main source of food.

But I began to notice that plants suspiciously quickly began to wither. At first I thought that I was not watering them enough.

But then I managed to find out that the main reason for all these disasters was the bear. The first attempt failed to deal with her, but the second turned out to be much more successful. Want to learn how to deal with the bears in the garden? Now I’ll tell you in detail about all the methods.

Medvedka - photo and description of how to fight

What does the bear look like? A photo, a description of how to fight, the experience of gardeners will help preserve the crop and get rid of this insidious pest. After all, what happens? Plant seedlings, come the next day, and she lies unhappy, withered.

A familiar picture? How to get rid of the bear in the garden forever? Can this fight be successful? To do this, you need to have a good idea of ​​how this insect lives, reproduces.

What does a lifestyle look like?

The popular names of the pest are cabbage, spinning top, earthen cancer.

Medvedka:

The bear arranges breeding nests in heaps of manure, garbage, on the boundaries, paths at a depth of 10-15 cm from the soil surface. The size of the nest is 6 × 6 cm. Females are very fertile - in a few receptions they can lay from 200 to 400 eggs.

Bear Eggs:

The newly hatched larvae of the bear:

Mechanical damage to nests or air passages is fatal to eggs and young larvae. If you just ruin the hole, the bear will surely restore it. She does it very quickly. But the bear’s destroyed nest can no longer be restored. But it’s not so easy to get to it.

This pest is practically impossible to be completely destroyed, but it is necessary to fight it. Otherwise, you will not be able to get rid of it.

How to deal with parasites

Absolutely harmless, inexpensive, easily accessible method. Bears pour an oil emulsion into their burrows: 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil in 4-5 liters of water. They look for a hole in the ground on the bed or next to it - this is the entrance to the hole. Carefully with a sharp angle of the chopper or the smallest plane cutter tear it.

It is poured to the top gradually, without rushing, since the emulsion may not be allowed to let in air. After some time, from the mink appears, oiled, bear. Oil covers the airways of the insect - it dies.

You can fight a bear like that. They take wheat grains (1 cup), boil them until soft, and then dry them, but not dry, and so that they are not wet, they do not stick to each other. Stacked in a jar, add vegetable oil (2-3 tablespoons), mix.

Then 1-2 tablespoons of metaphos are poured into the same jar - this is a contact action insecticide. Grains prepared in this way are put in a hole when planting seedlings. The bear will come to the smell, taste the poison - it will no longer be up to your seedlings.

The classic method. Very old, proven. Effective. But I honestly do not really like to use it against the bear. Since then you have to crush, destroy these creatures. Better let them die somewhere far from my eyes.

Small fish (sprat, sprat, hamsa) - pickled, spicy salted, better spoiled, torn in half and laid in the holes during planting, to a depth of 3-4 cm, located around the perimeter of the hole. The smell of fish discourages the bear.

She is afraid of alkaline solutions (soapy water, a solution of washing powder, a solution of any dishwashing detergent, etc.). We take 4 tablespoons of washing powder, dissolve in 10 liters of water. Pour 0.5 liters of this solution into each mink. We wait. The bear herself jumps out of the mink - only manage to catch it.

You can water the area where you noticed her mink from the watering can with any soapy solution, and pour water on top with plain water so that the soapy solution penetrates deeper into the soil. The effect is the same. All the bears in this area, as if mad, will crawl out onto the surface of the earth. Then you collect them.

Separate beds, as well as hotbeds, can be protected from the pest by fencing them with grooves filled with sand moistened with kerosene.

In the spring, scatter small heaps of fresh manure in your area. The little bear crawls there, arranges minks and lays eggs. After 10-20 days, look through the heaps, destroy all the eggs.

You can fight with a bear with the help of chrysanthemums. Do not throw leaves, cut stems of chrysanthemums in autumn. Grind them, dry, and in the spring lay in the holes when planting crops. The bear does not like the smell of chrysanthemums, so it will not touch your plants.

This method worked well: when planting seedlings in a hole, add a handful of dry mix of orange peels, eggs and onions, mix everything with soil and plant seedlings - the bear will not get to the tender roots.

When watering seedlings under the root (try so that the solution does not get on the leaves!) I add a small amount of ammonia (2-3 tablespoons per bucket of water) to the water, the smell of which is a deterrent for the bear.

It’s good to fight with a bear, as well as with moles with the help of wind turbines on metal poles dug in the garden. They scare them away, creating a noise, vibration, transmitted on the ground.

Reviews of experienced gardeners

Lekseich: This method of protection only affects seedling propagated crops. From a PET bottle cut a ring 6-7 cm high. Plant seedlings inside the ring. The ring is deepened to a depth of 5-6 cm, i.e. 1cm should be above the soil level.

Goodwin: I fought as follows. You dig a hole in the depth of a bayonet and a half shovels and meter per meter around the perimeter.At the bottom you throw fresh manure, preferably horse manure, the thickness is not lower than 15-20 cm., The same amount of straw and land is 20-25 cm on top.

It turns out like a greenhouse. In the autumn, a bear from the whole garden crawls up to bask and lay eggs in this warmth. At minus 5-6 degrees, I dug up this trap and there they were just darkness! All in a barrel and burned.

In two years, everything was deduced. Only this must be done together with the neighbors 100 meters in all directions from your garden. And then it's like cockroaches. You stain, they roll off for a couple of weeks, and then they come back from neighbors. By the way, these pits need one for every 3-4 acres of the garden.

Positive: In the autumn we pour out dry chicken droppings on the beds, the bear does not tolerate this smell, leaves. For many years, they fought with the bear, but only after such a procedure it became less.

Effective drugs and folk remedies

Surely every gardener knows what a bear looks like. This rather large dark brown insect has an abdomen 3 times larger than the head. At the same time, at the end of the abdomen there are 2 processes about 1 cm long, and on the head there are eyes, a mustache, tentacles and an oral cavity. And the bear has 2 pairs of limbs and long scaly wings.

This insect rarely comes to the surface. But even if you notice it, you can hardly catch it with your bare hands: the bear flies well over long distances, swims and quickly digs moves. The pest inhabits the advantage underground, gnaws the roots and root crops of garden crops, destroys the seeds.

The presence of the bear is evidenced by small holes in the beds and loose mounds of soil that appear in places where the insect moves.

Chemicals

On the shelves of garden shops you can find a large number of chemicals from the bear. Many of them help to get rid of other garden pests: larvae of the May beetle, wireworm, and garden ants.

In addition to ready-made chemicals, calcium carbide (5 g) is used in the fight against the bear. He is poured into the holes made by the pest. After interaction with water (during irrigation or during rains), a chemical reaction begins, as a result of which acetylene gas is released, filling the bear’s passages and destroying it.

Chemicals are often mixed with oat, buckwheat, pea or pearl barley porridge, add sunflower oil and 1/2 tsp. poisonous bait in the evening lay in the moves of the bear.

Folk remedies

Those who prefer to protect their garden without “chemistry” will be interested to know how to get rid of the bear with folk remedies. Unfortunately, they do not give a 100% result, but are absolutely safe for human health and domestic animals.

Matches Bread. Moisten the brown bread with water, mash and roll a few walnut-sized balls out of it. In each ball, stick 10-12 matches with sulfur heads inward. When the bread softens, remove the matches, and make smaller ones out of balls - the size of a pea. Scatter this bait around the garden and put a few pieces directly into the moves of the bear.

Beer or Honey Traps. Pour 100 g of beer or honey into a glass or plastic bottle (0.5 l) with a wide neck, dig the container into the ground at an angle at the place of the bear’s course, cover the soil with a sheet of cardboard on top.

Pests, moving through the tunnels, will fall into a trap from which they can not get out.When the can is full, replace it with a new one.

Dung heaps. In the early spring and during the autumn digging of the soil, lay dung heaps in the garden (preferably horse manure is used). Feeling the warmth, the little bears crawl there and begin to lay their eggs. Once you find insects there, burn traps. So you destroy the adults with the larvae.

Soapy water. Add soap or tar soap (100 g) to the water (10 l) and pour the resulting liquid into the holes made by the bear in a small stream at the rate of 2 l per turn. Cut the insects that jump out of the hole with a shovel. The rest, who did not find a way out, will die underground.

Eggshell. Grind previously dried egg shells, pour with unrefined sunflower oil and put in the holes and grooves in which you are going to sow seeds or plant seedlings. Having eaten the shell, the bear will die. And uneaten leftovers will serve as an excellent organic fertilizer for the soil.

Repellent odors. The bear does not like the smell of some plants. Plant marigolds, calendula, chrysanthemums in the garden. Lay branches of conifers (pine, spruce, fir) between the beds, stick fresh aspen or alder branches (necessarily with bark) 2-4 cm in diameter into the soil to a depth of about 30 cm.

You can also prepare an infusion of onion husks and shed bear moves with them. Or put garlic cloves in the holes.

Attract them to the site - and your "allies" will noticeably reduce the number of this underground pest.

How to deal with the bears in the garden and in the garden?

The bear is a very large insect from the order of orthoptera. The body of this insect is chestnut-colored beautiful with a silky sheen, the length of the bear reaches about 5 cm. The pest has a hard shell on its chest, huge wings and fairly developed forelimbs.

Female pests build nests in the ground at a depth of about 10-15 cm. At a time, the female can lay up to 500 eggs. Two weeks are needed for the larvae to hatch from the eggs and 30 days for them to grow and dig their passages in the ground with adults.

The bear is polyphagous - and generally will not spare your cabbage, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, as well as potatoes. The bear can damage all plant roots, which can be called the reason for its further death.

You can identify the bear when you find different twisty earthen ridges that are perfectly visible after rain, as well as through holes in the ground and decaying plants.

How to fight in the garden?

In the spring, before planting any seedlings, you should first dig up the whole soil where you have compost and other organic fertilizers, collect all the larvae that you can definitely detect.

All found nests with eggs are worth a bear.

If you don’t have the opportunity to dig a site in early spring, then do not be upset anyway! There are a large number of other best anti-bear remedies in the garden!

The battle in the greenhouse

So that the bear doesn’t crawl right into the greenhouse, you must pull a rope on the ground around the entire greenhouse, which will be necessarily saturated with kerosene, or willow twigs to stick around the plantings.

Also, as the defense of the entire greenhouse, you can use the leaves of garlic and mint. It is necessary to spread them around the perimeter of the entire ridge.When all the leaves completely lose their smell, they should be easily replaced with new ones.

Chemical methods

If the battle with folk remedies with the bear does not suit you at all or does not even help, then it is worth recalling the chemical methods of the battle.

Chemical treatment of the root system of plants. The roots of all seedlings before planting in open soil are dipped directly into the suspension of the drug "Actara 25 WG". The prestige of 290 FS is also pretty good, first you should soak the roots in a suspension of the drug.

Experienced gardeners recommend treating the root system with these drugs, as they are the least toxic to plants and quite effective for fighting the bear.

The fight through kerosene. Quite an effective method of dealing with bears. It is worth finding the passages and nests of the bear, and then pour them with a solution of kerosene. If you do not tolerate the smell of kerosene, then it is worth pouring the moves with a solution of a simple washing powder or even water.

In addition, the bear does not like marigold flowers. So you can easily, not just save your entire crop, but also completely decorate the site!

Pest control folk remedies

The battle with beer. Most likely, the most amazing and common way to deal with bears is beer! It is beer! This amazing product is famous for its normal effect on the hair and scalp, it can easily serve you excellent service in the garden!

Bears will be able to instantly peck on the bait, gnaw the bandage and then climb into the bottle, only then they will definitely not be able to get out of it. At the end of the week, completely digging out the bottle, we will be able to see that it will be completely packed with little beer lovers.

The fight through honey. The bear can also be caught on honey very well. To make a trap, you should take a jar and grease it well with honey from the inside, and then dig the jar strictly flush with the ground.

On top of the trap you need to cover with a piece of iron, newsprint or cardboard, and completely mask the trap with a layer of straw. The little bear will immediately find honey, fall directly to the bottom of the can and then she just won’t be able to get out of it.

Fighting through needles. The bear is very afraid of the smell of various conifers. Therefore, it is worth stocking up with the needles of pine, fir, cedar, and when planting all the plants, dig a few holes and fill up the needles in them. If suddenly the plants are already planted, and the bear suddenly appears, then it is worth trying to sprinkle the bed with needles, and the pest will immediately retreat.

The battle with the bear by means of rotten fish. The bear does not tolerate the smell of spoiled fish at all. When you start planting seedlings of tomato, cucumbers, potatoes or cabbage, you should definitely put 1-2 small pieces of rotten fish in the hole. You can even use fish heads, entrails, scales and entrails.

The fish instantly decays, being underground, and the bear itself will not want to go to that place at all. The beds with non-sprouted crops at all should also be overlaid with pieces of fish and then sprinkled with earth.

Seeds will have time to ascend precisely by the time the fish spoil the cavity. And the bear at all will not be able to eliminate your seeds, as well as seedlings.

Methods of dealing with cabbage

Medvedka is an insect 35-50 mm long, with short leathery elytra and front digging legs. It lives in the soil and only occasionally appears on the surface. In the evening and at night it flies.Swims well.

Embryonic development lasts 10-20 or more days. For the normal development of eggs, 100% humidity is required. After leaving the eggs, the larvae of the bear remain in the nest under the protection of the female for 2-3 weeks.

It damages the underground parts of various plants (cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc.). Shoots dry up, damaged plants are easily pulled from the soil. In root vegetables and in potato tubers, the bear eats up large cavities, damages seeds, cuts and tears roots.

Protective measures

At the end of September, it is necessary to dig holes up to 0.5 m deep, fill them with manure (preferably horse) with straw. The bear gathers in the pits. Late in the fall or winter, they are dug up, the manure is scattered and the bears die from the cold.

When planting vegetable seedlings (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc.), 1-1.5-liter plastic bottles can be used. The upper and lower parts are cut, the rest is cut into several parts up to 10-15 cm high.

Then these parts are placed in the soil so that at least 5 cm remains above the surface where the seedlings are planted.

You can lay out bait from fresh manure at the beginning of May, into which the pest crawls into the holes and lay eggs, and after 3-4 weeks they look at the bait heaps, destroy the bear and eggs.

In autumn, you can use a mixture of water with kerosene (100 g per 10 l of water), which is poured into the pest holes at a rate of 30 g each.

Scare

The bear is scared away by marigolds planted between vegetable crops, as well as green alder branches arranged at a distance of 1.5 m, which are replaced from time to time with fresh ones. In addition, a detergent for the bear is a solution of washing powder, which is poured into the mink.

In the summer, the area inhabited by the bear can be watered with infusion of onion husks at the rate of 900 g of husk and onion waste, poured with 10 liters of warm water and infused for 4-5 days. Then, before use, the infusion is diluted with water (1: 5) and the plants are watered after rain 2-3 times in 5-7 days; in the absence of rain, the area is watered.

Chicken manure infusion is also used at the rate of 2 kg per 10 liters of water. After thorough mixing and dilution with water (1: 5), dry soil is watered. In the soil fertilized with chicken droppings, the pest does not live.

To scare away the bear, you can use sand moistened with kerosene at the rate of one glass per bucket of sand. At the same time, sand spills out onto the ground, is poured with kerosene, carefully shovels for 5-10 minutes, and then crumbles in the area with planted seedlings (0.25-0.5 l per 1 m2).

Radical control measures

Actar 25 WG, Medvedtox-U, Prestige 290 FS. The most radical measure to combat the bear is the use of chemicals. To do this, the roots of seedlings of cabbage, tomatoes, eggplant, sweet pepper are moistened with 25 WG (1.5 g / l water per 250 plants) in a suspension of actar preparation before planting in open ground at a temperature of 18-23 ° C and an exposure time of 90-120 min.

To protect potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage from the bear, Medvedox-U (300 g per 1 acre) is used by adding 3-4 cm deep in the furrows along the perimeter or between the beds, followed by sprinkling with earth and watering at the rate of 10 l / m2 after planting tubers or seedlings.

Phenoxin Plus - a radical method of struggle. These are granules with an attractive smell for the bear and killer to the taste. In the manure, where the bears love to settle, they make a hole and pour granules into it. By all means, the pit is covered from birds and domestic animals, which may also want to feast on and for whom a fatal outcome in this case is also ensured.

In addition, in those places where bear cubs are seen, and these are usually beds, they make grooves with a depth of 3-5 cm, and lay out granules at a distance of 20-30 cm. Again, they cover from birds and other animals you need.

If the bears do not bite the pellets (for example, they changed their location), then the pellets themselves will dissolve over time from watering, and will not bring harm to plants and people who eat these plants.

If you know that you used the drug for good reason, then repeat the treatment after two weeks, when new bears hatch from the laid eggs.

Natural enemies of the parasite

The natural enemies of the bear are birds (rooks, starlings, crows, herons, etc.), insectivores (hedgehogs, shrews, moles, lizards), ants (destroy eggs), ground beetles (eat larvae), and nematodes of the river. Oxyurius and Telestomum, p. Neothorombium, Caloglyphus and Rhizogliphus. In winters with thaws, a massive death of the bear from fungal diseases is noted.

Then the wasp lays one egg under the base of the foreleg of the victim and flies away. After 5 minutes, the bear comes to life and crawls into its cave, turning into a living food warehouse for the wasp larva. However, unfortunately, this wasp is much less common than a bear.

Sharing experience

Beer trap for the bear. You can fight a bear without the use of expensive drugs. Here's what you need to do in the spring. Pour 50-100 g of beer into glass bottles and tie a neck with a piece of gauze. Dig in the bottles obliquely at an angle of 45 ° to the soil surface and sprinkle with earth a layer of 3-4 cm.

Bears very quickly find a "beer", gnaw through a bandage and climb into a bottle.
They can’t get back (or maybe they don’t want to?). In one or two weeks the bottle is filled, then it must be dug up and pour fresh beer for another bear in another bottle. This method is quite effective. 3-4 bears per day!

When digging potatoes, I did not find a single bear. In the fall, I prepared dry needles of larch, you can pine and spruce. Now I want to try, selectively during planting, along with potatoes, pour needles from larch into the hole.

Fighting a bear with the help of rotten fish. It turns out that the bear does not tolerate the smell of rotten fish. When planting seedlings of cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and other crops in the hole, you need to put 1-2 pieces of cheap fish. Fish heads, scales, entrails are also suitable.

The fish in the earth quickly decays, and the bear bypasses this place. Beds with crops of beets, carrots, lettuce, etc. overlay a small fish around the perimeter and sprinkle it with earth. While the seeds will sprout, the fish will begin to deteriorate. This will prevent the bear from destroying the seeds and seedlings. Pazych V.S., Makeevka

Try - instead of water, pour fermented beer into the bear’s hole, the result will exceed all your expectations!

You can get rid of the pest with the help of millet porridge. A small saucepan is brewing. In the cooled porridge is added the drug from the Colorado potato beetle "Regent". Then balls are rolled out of the porridge, which are lowered in each turn dug by the bear. Here comes the pest victory for a season or more.

I am abundantly watering the path. When the water is absorbed, I press the board strongly into the ground, you can plywood of any width. The next day I raise it: if the bear is here, then there will certainly be moves.I fill these moves with soapy water.

The eggs and larvae of the bear are well destroyed by loosening row-spacings to a depth of 10-12 cm from the third decade of May to the beginning of the second half of July.

The bait can also be laid out 2-3 days before sowing or in the aisles after emergence or planting seedlings, planting them in the soil to a depth of 2-3 cm.

Recipe for bait from barley, wheat, millet: 2 g of bait take 50 g of malathion and 30 g of sunflower oil. The grain is boiled in salted water. First treated with oil, then karbofos and mix well. The baits are embedded in grooves to a depth of 2-3 cm. You can also decompose them after emergence (but already in the row spacing), the consumption rate of 600-800 g per 100 square meters. m).

Before planting tomatoes and peppers in the ground, I prepare pieces of cloth. I use any dense material. I cut pieces 15 cm long and 8 cm wide. Before planting, I urinate them in water. I tie the tomato trunk with raw rags so that it remains in the ground and above. Medvedka does not touch such tomatoes. And over the summer rags rot. There is no harm from them to tomatoes.

To make it more convenient to do this, cut the rubber along one side, push the edges of the cut and insert the bottom of the stem inward. Rubber immediately restores its former shape. I do not close the sprout root; it peeks freely from the bottom of the segment.

To scare away the bear from the hotbeds along the greenhouse logs (grooves) make small grooves and pour sand moistened with kerosene.

You can catch a bear on honey. You can catch a bear on honey. Take a jar, grease it with honey from the inside, lower the neck and dig in flush with the soil. Cover from above with a bent piece of iron or cardboard, then straw. Medvedka climbs on honey and falls to the bottom of the can. Lyudmila Saenko, Cherkasy, Ukraine

Windmills vs Bears. I managed to get rid of this pest very simply. My site is located a hundred meters from the ravine, into which everyone dumps all kinds of rubbish. It was from this pit that a bear crawled towards me in the garden of hordes. In one country newspaper, he learned about the old method of dealing with them.

Attach a light metal propeller to the top of the pipe so that it rotates easily and creates more noise. Bears, apparently, perceive vibration and noise from propellers as a natural disaster. In any case, for many years harmful insects have bypassed my garden.

Aspen versus Bears. It is necessary to prepare stakes from aspen with a diameter of 2-4 cm, a length of 25-30 cm and hammer them into the ground to the full height of the stake in the places of settlement of the bear. Score at random after 1-2 meters from each other.

Stakes are harvested from branches felled by the wind in the forest of aspens, small aspen. You can chop them from sawn logs, but always with bark. Bears on the site will not be. This is an old proven method.

Insect bear

The garden bear is a large insect reaching a length of 5 cm, although some gardeners claim to have encountered individuals up to 15 cm long. What does the bear look like? Its soft abdomen is spindle-shaped and about a centimeter in diameter is three times longer than the cephalothorax.

At the end of the dark brown abdomen there are tserki - paired filiform appendages up to 1 cm long. The chest is protected by a hard shell, under which the bear can partially hide its head.The eyes of the insect are large, complex, also on the head are a pair of tentacles, a long antennae and very strong jaws.

The front pair of limbs of a bear with claws is designed so that it is convenient for her to dig the ground. Bears have wings, but in order for their muscles to work, they need warm air, so the bears fly infrequently, but they swim pretty quickly.

At night, especially during the mating season, the bears sing - they make powerful trills, tweet and chirp, using the friction of the wings for this.

Bears at a shallow depth make a nest about 6x6 cm in size, lay up to five hundred dark yellow eggs with a diameter of 4-5 mm in it, of which larvae appear in two weeks. The larva of the bear beetle in body shape resembles an adult insect, but it is not dark brown, but gray. Bear larva grows for several years.

It was at this time that you should dig shallow holes on the site and fill them with chopped straw or fresh manure. Bears crawl into the egg-laying pits so that the hatched larvae can eat manure or straw. After 3-4 weeks, the contents of the traps along with the larvae are removed and burned.

In order to destroy this dangerous insect, you must find all the nests of the bear. Since they are not very deep, they can be found during digging. Carefully dig out the nests, put them in a bucket, and then destroy them.

Try to do this so that the female does not crawl to the surface. Take the pesticide and spread its granules in all the moves leading from the nest - this way you will destroy the female.

There is another way to get rid of the bear. Once you find the nest, fill it with soapy water so that it fills all the passages dug by the insect. From the soap solution, both the larvae and the female will die if it is in one of the passages.

Instead of a soap solution, you can use water with vegetable oil to fill the aisles - stir a tablespoon of oil in 4 liters of water - or water with kerosene - 100 g of kerosene per bucket of water at the rate of 30 g of solution for each hole.

If the bear was discovered by you near the end of the growing season, wait for autumn and dig soil pits 50-60 cm deep at a soil temperature of at least 8 ºC, line the bottom and walls of the pits with plastic wrap, fill them with started manure and close them with an impromptu lid.

As soon as steady frosts come, get the dung out of the pits along with the bear cubs, who crawled into a warm shelter for the winter, and scatter around the site. Bears will die from frost, because even at a temperature of +5 ºC they become inactive.

Means (preparations)

Pesticides are also fighting in the garden with pesticides, however, chemicals from the little ones are used only as a last resort, when other methods of fighting were ineffective. Several effective remedies for the bear are known:

Fighting folk remedies

How to destroy a bear with chemical and mechanical means, we told you, but there are many effective folk methods and ways to deal with this pest that destroy or scare the bear away without harming useful insects, animals and people.

For example, if you water the site several times with an interval of a week, infusion of onion husks, the garden bear will leave you forever. How to get rid of a bear with onion infusion?

The device of traps, for example, with beer or honey, also refers to folk methods of fighting a bear. How to bring a bear using such traps?

Dig a plastic container or glass jar into the soil, treating them from the inside to a quarter of the height with honey for bait, cover the jar with a sheet of iron on top and sprinkle it with straw.

Or dig a half-liter can with half a glass of fresh beer, tilt it with thick cardboard or iron, and after a week and a half dig up traps with pests that have got into them.

And there is still a way to get rid of underground pests with the help of eggshells, which are dried, crushed, mixed with fried sunflower oil and put on a spoonful of this mixture in all holes or furrows when planting seedlings or sowing seeds.

The bear will certainly appear in order to enjoy this fragrant “dessert”, which will lead to its death, and the eggshell will become a good fertilizer for young plants.

Preventative treatment

It is much easier to prevent the bear from entering the plot than to fight it later. A bear will not appear in the garden if you dig the soil every autumn to the depth of the bayonet of a shovel - larvae and adults will die from the cold.

The preventive measure against the appearance of the bear in the garden can be the refusal to use manure as a fertilizer for plants, since it is with it that the pest most often gets to the site. You can replace manure with chicken droppings.

The bear prevents the appearance of garlic, cilantro, coriander, parsley, marigold, calendula or chrysanthemum planted in the aisles. He does not like the pest of needles and fresh alder leaves that are dug in grooves along the perimeter of the beds. They say that a good scarecrow is a bear - poured into deep furrows around naphthalene beds.

You can scare away the bear in the greenhouse using a mixture of sand and kerosene at the rate of 1 kg of sand and 50-70 ml of kerosene per m² of bed: pour sand with kerosene, mix it thoroughly, toss a few shovels of dry earth to the sand and mix everything again.When planting seedlings, scatter this soil mixture on the surface of the beds and evenly mix it with the topsoil.

Reliable protection against the bear is given by processing when planting the root system of seedlings with a suspension of Actara or Prestige. And those who are not bothered by the smell of rotten fish can use this method of scaring away the pest: when planting seedlings in the ground, they put small fresh fish in each hole.

Plants with an unbranched root system can be saved from the bear by digging a cut plastic bottle into the hole and planting a seedling in it. This "armor" does not allow the pest to get close to the roots and stems of the plant.

Well, it would be nice to enlist the support of biological enemies of the bear, which are birds (storks, rooks, crows, starlings) and insectivores - shrews, hedgehogs, moles, lizards, ants, scolopendra or ground beetles. If you attract the most harmless of them to your site, you may never know what an ordinary bear looks like.
