If your beds with cucumbers are used to terrorizing aphids, do not fall into despair and do not rush to run to the store for ultra-expensive means against garden pests.

According to experienced farmers, there is a very budgetary and easy way to expel aphids from cucumber bushes. Provided that in your environment there are people who were not lucky enough to acquire a bad habit - smoking.

Aphids are considered among summer residents to be one of the most malicious pests.

Aphid

It was experimentally established that aphids, which, in principle, can parasitize on any plants by sucking juice from leaves, are skeptical about the smell of tobacco and nicotine.

The common phrase that a drop of nicotine can kill a horse is also relevant for aphids (as well as for any living organisms). The destructive effect of nicotine can be turned into a useful channel and make a truly effective tincture against pests from ... cigarette butts.

Cucumbers are most often attacked by cotton aphids.

Your primary task in the process of preparing this product is to get at least half a liter can of "bull-calves" from cigarettes. And if a chicken lives in your house, there will be no problems with the accumulation of “raw materials”. If your family is for a healthy lifestyle, then turn to smoking colleagues at work or to neighbors who like to smoke.

Cooking Tools

As soon as you collect half a liter can of cigarette butts, pour them with boiling water to the top of the container and leave overnight. During this time, the product will infuse and will be ready for use in the garden.

Spray bushes inhabited by aphids need only diluted concentrate!

Just do not rush to pour cigarette tincture on the cucumber bushes in their pure form! Given that the concentration of nicotine in this composition is very impressive, dilute the concentrate with clean water (at the rate of 1 part infusion in 2 parts water).

When the concentrate is diluted, you can go to the garden and spray the cucumber bushes inhabited by aphids.

Be sure that pests after the “cigarette bomb” attack will soon leave your cucumber ranks. And those who did not have time to escape, simply die.
