Ogorodniki, who suffered from the harm caused by the beetle, found another, quite effective method of combating it. To do this, the water-oil emulsion should be poured into the holes, which is prepared by mixing 100-200 grams of homemade, well-smelling sunflower oil in a two-liter plastic bottle filled with water. The last one needs to be screwed with a lid, in it to make a hole and to inject the contents into the mink of a beetle. The action of such a solution for insects is fatal, since it affects their respiratory system; Beetles are forced to leave their lair and crawl out; In any case, they perish.

As one of the options, some summer residents in the early spring, instead of the above described means are poured boiling water into the burrows. Perhaps this method helped someone, since so long exists. In the same way, a solution of soapy water is used, which must be poured into burrows in the morning and evening hours. Alternatively, instead of sunflower oil and soap solution, the cheapest construction foam can be used, which must be blown into the holes of the insect pest. Of course, not the most useful way, but, perhaps, someone will dare to try.
