Cuts from a bear - instructions for use and reviews

Peculiarities

In terms of its properties, Rubit Rofatox is similar to the drug Regent 800.
The active ingredient in both products is fipronil, which has a nerve-paralytic effect on mole crickets and other insects. After the insect tastes this deadly delicacy, the nervous system of the pests is blocked. They lose the ability to move and feed and die after three hours. Yes, for a mole cricket or a wireworm, “Rubit” is really delicious.

Gardeners also use this remedy for the Colorado potato beetle. To attract pests, the drug contains flavorings and flavoring additives.

How to make a trap for a mole cricket with your own hands

It’s worth saying a few words about rubit granules. They are produced in brown and green colors. Insects mistake brown balls for plant roots, and green balls for foliage, and greedily pounce on them.

The destructive effect on pests lasts two weeks, after which the granules become completely safe for them. The decomposition of the bait, as the instructions for use indicate, does not harm the soil.

Effective preparations for wireworms

To get rid of wireworms, chemical methods are used only in extreme cases. Some of the most popular products include the following.

"Provotox"

Wireworm remedy Provotox is an insecticide with the active ingredient diazinon, aimed at destroying only this pest.
It is highly specialized, but very effective,
produced in bags of 40 and 120 grams. Upon contact with an insect, the poison affects its nervous system, and the parasite dies without completing its reproduction cycle.

Provotox granules should be placed directly into the holes when planting potatoes - 2-4 pieces per hole.

A 40-gram package is enough to treat 10 m2 of land.

It is recommended to use the insecticide once per season.

Provotox differs from its competitors in its low cost, long-lasting action and low toxicity.
Repeated use of such an insecticide does not cause addiction in surviving individuals.

The drug is applied to the soil during planting. “Force” is a granule that dissolves when it gets into the soil, releasing special substances that fight wireworms.

A unique mechanism of action – it causes the death of the pest before it has time to damage the crop.

The “Force” product provides effective control of a wide range of soil-dwelling pests on potatoes and onions: wireworms, May beetle larvae, grasshoppers, root flies (onion, carrot, cabbage).

Guarantees long-term protection of all underground parts of the plant from damage by soil pests.

Helps produce higher quality potato tubers without damage.

Allows you to increase plant productivity and improve the commercial properties of bulbs.

"Prestige"

“Prestige” is one of the most expensive, but also the most effective means for combating not only wireworms, but also the Colorado potato beetle.

Produced in Germany. Available in the form of a highly concentrated liquid, which is diluted with water before use.

Photo of the “Prestige” product

The “Prestige” product is used to treat potato tubers before planting, but can only be used for mid-late and late varieties of this crop.

The drug is highly toxic, so in early varieties the poison may not have time to be removed from the tubers, which can lead to poisoning.

"Chopping"

The drug "Rubit" against wireworms is produced in the form of granules with the active ingredient finpronil, it protects against wireworms and mole crickets.

It is added when planting into holes to a depth of 10 cm before planting tubers. 300 g of product is enough to treat 100 m² of plot.

Important!

Mixing Rubit with fertilizers and other insecticides is prohibited.

“Rubit” is non-toxic to plants, blocks nerve impulses in parasites and kills within 3 hours.

The granules are released in brown and green colors in the shape of plant roots or stems to attract insects. For the same purpose, the poison contains aromatic substances. The effect of the drug "Rubit" will last for 2-3 weeks.

After this, chemical toxins quickly break down into harmless substances.
They do not accumulate either in plants growing in the treatment area or in the ground.

"Taboo"

Protection against the Colorado potato beetle will last 45 days, and against click beetle larvae - for the entire duration of its harmfulness. The consumption of the product is economical - 10 ml is enough to process 125 kg of potatoes; 8 ml of the drug is needed for a 2-acre garden.

Photo of the drug "Taboo"

Wireworms in the garden - how to deal with them using the drug Tabu:

• The first method of treating wireworms is to pickle the tubers before planting. The taboo on the surface of the planting material creates a colored film that does not crumble after drying.
• The second method is to spray the holes or furrows with a diluted preparation. After planting, moisture is released from the active substance that creates a protective environment around the tubers. The taboo is evenly distributed throughout the growing organs of the plant. If they try to eat the tubers, the wireworms die within 24 hours.

Fungicides for the garden and vegetable garden!
Bordeaux mixture Trichodermin Fungicide Anthracol
To obtain a working solution, 4 ml of the drug is diluted in 1 liter of water, stirred and adjusted to 10 liters.

All of the above products are used according to the dosage specified by the manufacturer. A mixture of granulated superphosphate and drugs such as Actellik, Karate, Decis or Fastak can also be used.

Superphosphate is sprayed onto the potatoes according to the manufacturer's instructions and allowed to dry. Then the fertilizer is applied in the standard way.

What plants does wireworm damage?

The wireworm is not a species of insect, but a click beetle larva. The beetles themselves do not cause much harm - they feed on the leaves of cereals. But their females lay up to 100 eggs over the summer, from which a serious enemy of potato plantations emerges - the wireworm.

The larva is a long-liver among insects: if there is food, it can live in the ground for up to 5 years, eating crops. It is difficult to physically destroy a wireworm - it lives underground, breaking through winding passages through which it quickly escapes from the threat.

click beetle and larva (wireworm) enemy of the gardener

2-4 year old individuals are considered dangerous. These wireworms are easily recognized by their clearly segmented body (which makes them look like a worm) with many legs. The length of the larva is 2-3 cm. The color varies from yellow-chestnut to dark brown.

Adult worms have a very thick chitinous shell. It is almost impossible to crush an insect - if you catch a pest, it is easier to tear it apart, cut it into two parts. Although potatoes are considered its favorite food, the wireworm does not disdain almost anything:

1. Corn, tomatoes, beets, carrots, onions, cabbage.
2. A plant at any stage of development: from seed to fruiting stage, dying.
3. Any parts of plantings: root system, fruits, stems, leaves.

The cunning of the pest is that it tolerates wintering well in frozen ground. If you do not control the wireworm this year, the larva will continue to destroy plantings in future seasons.

Preventive measures in the fight against wireworms

The appearance of wireworms, like many other problems, is easier to prevent than to solve.

A few simple precautions will save you from the threat of this pest:

• observe crop rotation;
• remove weeds in a timely manner;
• dig and loosen the soil;
• thin out the potato beds with single plantings of legumes;
• do not thicken the plantings;
• to localize the problem, use legume plantings;
• The wireworm affects not only potatoes, it can spread to carrots, radishes and other vegetables.

Protection from potato wireworm when planting - video

Unlike the Colorado potato beetle, which is easy to spot, the wireworm lives underground.

Do not neglect control loosening of the soil in order to detect the pest.

Remember, proper agricultural technology will not only solve the pest problem, but will also protect your crop for many years to come.

How to identify a wireworm

I wrote that the garden pest prefers to live in the ground, feeding on root crops, which makes it difficult to meet it “face to face.” You can tell if there are wireworms in your area by the following characteristic signs:

1. In tubers and root vegetables there are black dots, spots, narrow winding passages.
2. Only individual bushes are damaged, and not the whole ridge or plantation. Wireworms can dig a vertical passage up to 1-2 m. But it is difficult to move in the horizontal direction - a maximum of 20-30 cm. Therefore, they prefer to feed on 1-2 neighboring plants.
3. During the period of pest activity, it is possible to detect when digging up a garden in the upper layers of the soil.

Another sign is the appearance of adult click beetles. Outwardly, they are almost indistinguishable from useful ground beetles. However, the pest, turning over from its back to its abdomen, makes a clicking sound.

What is Rubit

Rubit is a Russian-made insecticide, available in several varieties. It is used to combat insects that damage gardenings and other species, including cockroaches and other household parasites. If we consider Rubit against mole crickets and wireworms, then this substance is not such a newcomer to the agricultural chemicals market. In 2014, farmers became acquainted with the drug Rubit Phenaxin; it was produced in packages of various weights containing red and green granules. As the producers explained, the red poison was eaten by young individuals, as it resembles parts of the root system, and the green particles were preferred by adult mole crickets, mistaking them for the above-ground part of plants.

Such advertising support for an insecticide intended for a soil-dwelling pest looks quite funny. This pest spends most of its time underground, in complete darkness, and for it it doesn’t really matter what color the poisonous bait is. Smell is much more important for mole crickets. Manufacturers also took this into account: the granules are scented with a food odor attractive to insects, so that the cabbage plant can unmistakably find it in the soil.

Now Rubit Phenaxin has been withdrawn from sale in many online stores, but Rubit Rotafox is in great demand among buyers. It is based on the same substance imidacloprid; the poison is produced in the form of granules. The package may contain either a mixture of red and green granules, or only red ones.

The drug is produced in plastic bags weighing 100, 200 and 400 g. One large package contains 35 bags of Rubit.

This pesticide can be purchased both in online stores and in retail stores. It is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the packaging, its integrity, the availability of the release date and expiration date. There must be instructions for use.

About properties

The drug Rubit for mole cricket is an insecticidal agent that contains fipronil. When used correctly, the toxic component does not pose a threat to human health or pets. For insects, it is a deadly poison, which by blocking nerve impulses leads to paralysis and inevitable death of pests.

The remedy for mole cricket Rubit is available in the form of green and red granules. Flavoring additives, aromas and oils, also included in the base of the drug, are used as bait. A mole cricket that has feasted on a poisonous treat dies after 3 hours. The protective properties of the drug last for two weeks.

Terradox

This remedy against mole crickets has a very wide range of effects on most pests living in the soil.

A reliable and proven drug that is guaranteed to destroy mole crickets.

Release form

Granules placed in a waterproof bag. Packaging: 100g.

Chemical composition

The main substance is diazinon at a concentration of 40 g/l.

Mechanism of action

Neurotoxic properties lead to paralysis of the mole cricket's limbs. This occurs due to blocking of the enzyme cholinesterase , which is involved in the transmission of impulses in the nervous system.

The enzyme should cause hydrolysis of free acetylcholine, which instead begins to accumulate in the synaptic opening, interfering with the passage of impulses.

Methods of entry into the body: intestinal, systemic and contact. If you constantly use this drug, you can get mole crickets that have developed resistance to its effects.

Duration of action

The period of plant protection from mole cricket lasts at least 13-15 days. At this time, diazinon gradually enters the plants through the root system.

Compatibility with other drugs

Diazinon combines well with herbicides and fungicides. Water emulsion is actively used in tank mixtures.

When to use?

It is preferable to apply the insecticide before rain. Other weather conditions do not play a special role . Granules are applied when planting and then during any growing season.

The exception is strawberries and wild strawberries - the drug to protect them is placed in the soil after harvesting.

Mode of application

Terradox granules are intended for application into the soil. Directly in the beds or between rows, holes or grooves 2-4 cm deep are made, into which insecticidal granules are placed .

20-25 g of the drug are consumed per 10 square meters of area. During the season, you can do 2 treatments with a break of 2 months.

Toxicity

Terradox is classified as hazard class 3, as a drug with low toxicity to animals, bees and people.

How to use Rubit against mole crickets

To destroy mole crickets, you need to place granules in the pest’s habitat. You can place them in passages through holes in the ground, or they can be laid out in shallow grooves made on the surface of the beds. For mole crickets, the depth of placement of the product is about 3-5 cm; greater depth is required for wireworms.

To properly deal with cabbage weed, you need to know the time of application of the insecticide. Options when granules are buried in the soil:

• when planting seedlings in open ground or in a greenhouse;
• preliminary - 10 days before disembarkation;
• during the period when young shoots emerge from the soil.

If control is planned with the help of buried granules, grooves in the soil should be made at a distance of no more than a meter, but not less than 50 cm. You can also make separate holes where a certain number of granules are placed. The drug is used at the rate of 30 g of granules per 100 m2. Under the sprouts that have emerged, 2-3 granules should be placed directly in the root area. In order for this insecticidal agent to begin to act, the soil must be watered with water, but not too much.

The manufacturer notes that when using Rubit Rotafox, other insecticides and fertilizers are not used in this soil at the same time. By combining with them, the drug can change its composition and effect.

To effectively poison a mole cricket, you need to remember that the concentration of Rubit and its effectiveness are limited to 2-3 weeks. After this, you need to re-apply the insecticide to the soil. This product is also used for preventive control of this pest.

Application Guide

Rofatox chops mole cricket granules The fight against mole crickets begins in early spring, when the soil begins to warm up. They consolidate the results in the summer and draw a thorough conclusion in the late autumn.

• The bait is scattered in several granules at a distance of 50-100 cm, at least 5 cm deep. Sprinkle with earth on top. The procedure is carried out 10 days before plowing the soil, planting seeds and seedlings.
• In summer, mole crickets exhibit sexual activity. The number of pests on the site increases significantly. Repeat soil treatment taking into account individual characteristics. If passages and holes are clearly visible, rubit mole cricket bait is left in the holes and sprinkled with soil. Dry soil is watered with a small amount of water. If the soil is sandy and dry, mole crickets place their nests deeper - up to 50 cm. The product should be buried deeper.
• The last time to completely destroy the pests is to scatter the poison in the fall. In this case, it is possible to reduce the number of adult individuals before the onset of sowing.

Instructions for using Rubit include digging granules near the seedlings, at a distance of 15 cm from the stem. Other methods can be used to protect seedlings from mole crickets.

Advantages of the drug Rubit

1. It is non-toxic and does not have a cumulative effect (does not accumulate in the soil or in various parts of plants). The substance does not harm plants planted in the garden, does not poison them and does not interfere with their normal development at all stages of growth.
2. This insecticide is capable of killing most of the adult mole crickets and its larvae in one area, preventing the insect from spreading beyond the beds.
3. Rubit acts quite quickly: three hours after eating the poisoned bait, the pest dies.
4. The cost of this drug is quite humane: from 40 rubles per package.

But you should not treat Rubit (as well as other chemical and folk remedies for combating mole crickets) as some kind of miracle drug that can destroy the entire population of mole crickets in one area in one treatment. Firstly, disposal cannot be complete if clutches of top eggs remain in the soil. But Rubit granules do not work on them, since the active substance must enter the insect’s intestines.

Secondly, any pest control must be comprehensive. You should not use insecticides alone; you need to combine these products with repellents and mechanical methods of control (traps, pouring water).

Thirdly, the golden law of agrochemistry is that all preparations for controlling insect pests must be alternated. Long-term use of the same pesticide will inevitably lead to the mole cricket becoming addicted and reducing the effectiveness of treatments.

When are protective equipment needed?

The orthoptera pest loves soil fertilized with humus, horse and cow manure. Medvedka:

• has good adaptive abilities;
• Reacts sensitively to increases and decreases in temperature;
• detects danger.

The pest prepares for winter in advance, trying to find a warm place. The mole cricket gnaws a large volume of vegetable fruits in a few hours.

The basis of the pest's diet is:

• roots;
• cabbage;
• squash;
• cucumbers;
• tomatoes;
• pepper;
• decorative flowers.

The insect is hardy and has a significant resource of physical strength.

Attention! The mole cricket population is capable of destroying the entire crop on the site. Therefore, at the first sign of the appearance of a pest, it is necessary to apply crop protection products.

Traditional recipes do not always give good results in killing mole crickets. In this case, synthetic drugs are used. They hit the insect outright. The principles of mole cricket extermination vary depending on the climate and time of year, the chemical and physical-mechanical characteristics of the soil, the characteristics of the cultivated area and the plants grown.

Safety for humans and impact on soil

Instructions for use Rubit indicate the absolute harmlessness of this product for the condition of the soil, as well as for people, because they will subsequently eat the root crops next to which the insect was poisoned, and this issue also worries many.

Safe for both soil and plants. It does not affect the condition of the earth in any way and is not able to accumulate in it, does not inhibit the growth of root crops and flowers and does not have a detrimental effect on their development. After being applied to the ground, the mole cricket remedy Rubit will protect the garden for 2-3 weeks.

Thus, for this period of time a reliable barrier is created, including preventing the reproduction of insects. It can be used not only for control, but also for preventing the appearance of mole crickets.

Wofatox

A combined insectoacaricide used to destroy pests living in the ground. It has a very wide range of effects.

Release form

Wetting powder, packaged in 100 and 20 ml bottles and 5 ml ampoules.

Chemical composition

bifenthrin 100 g/l imidacloprid 100 g/l

Mechanism of action

Bifenthrin, like other pyrethroids, disrupts the metabolism of sodium and calcium. Imidacloprid slows down the opening of sodium channels and inhibits the activity of enzymes involved in the transmission of impulses along nerves.

Thus, the normal functioning of the nervous system is disrupted on both sides at once. The insect experiences severe overexcitation, convulsions and convulsions, turning into paralysis and, as a consequence, death.

The drug is systemic and enters the body through contact and intestinal routes . The likelihood of developing resistance is very low.

Duration of action

Activity is guaranteed to continue for 15-18 days. Complete disintegration of the product occurs after 45 days.

Compatibility with other drugs

Combined with fungicidal substances.

When to use?

Climatic conditions do not affect the effectiveness of the drug. It is recommended to use the product after rain.

How to prepare bait?

The basis is boiled cereals - pearl barley, peas, corn, millet. The porridge should be crumbly and well cooked.

Vofatox (20 ml) is poured with a small amount of water (100 ml) and stirred until the powder is completely dissolved. Add the solution to 1 kg of porridge and mix well. Leave the mixture alone for half an hour to allow it to infuse.

Immediately before use, add 40-50 ml of super-fried vegetable oil to the bait and mix again. The mixture can be stored in a cool place for no more than 3 days.

Mode of application

The prepared bait is laid out around the planted seedlings on moist soil and covered with a small layer of soil so as not to attract birds.

Toxicity

The drug is very toxic to rats and mice, moderately toxic to birds and slightly toxic to humans - hazard class 3.

Reviews

When the planted tomato seedlings began to wither, I discovered several holes in the ground near the bed. Realizing that there was a mole cricket, she bought Rubit. I poured granules into the holes and after a few days I found a couple of dead pests.

Oksana, Krasnodar

Rubit is a super drug. An effective, safe and easy-to-use product, and the cost is quite reasonable. I recommend.

Folk ways to get rid of mole crickets

The use of folk remedies against mole crickets has an important advantage - these methods are safe for humans and plants. But they are effective only in the early stages of a pest invasion. If the mole cricket has bred in impressive quantities, it is impossible to do without the use of pesticides.

Kerosene against mole crickets

The old-fashioned way to fight earthen crayfish is to use sand and kerosene. The method is especially good for expelling the pest from the greenhouse.

For 1 m2 of ridge, 1 kg of sand soaked in 50-70 ml of kerosene is required. It is important to thoroughly mix the mass several times: first with the “fragrant” additive, then sand with several shovels of garden substrate. The mixture is recommended for use when planting seedlings and sowing seeds. Holes and furrows are filled with kerosene soil and scattered over the surface of the ridge.

Soapy water

It is possible to get rid of the pest by scouting out the location of its passages. You need to prepare a soap solution, add a little vegetable oil to it (1:10). 1 liter of liquid per mink is enough. An insect, taken by surprise, will hasten to get to the surface. The gardener will only have to destroy it.

I recommend using laundry soap shavings to prepare the solution. Foam from washing powder, shampoo, shower gel, and dishwashing detergent is by no means a useful “fertilizer” for your garden. Such products will saturate the earth with synthetic additives, flavors, and bleaches.

Protective rings

Around individual ridges or greenhouses you can make protective rings - a kind of “right of way” for mole crickets. To do this, ditches and furrows up to 20-50 cm deep are dug. They are covered with crushed eggshells, stove ash, sawdust, broken glass, and brick fragments. To increase efficiency, the contents are filled with kerosene.

Eggshell

You can take advantage of the mole cricket’s gluttony by preparing a “delicacy” for it from spicy crushed eggshells. Pour the shards with aromatic oil - unrefined or homemade. Place the shells in furrows and holes before planting seeds or seedlings.

This product “kills two birds with one stone.” Having eaten sharp fragments, the top will die. And eggshells will serve as a good fertilizer (a source of calcium) for future plantings.

Cozy garden

Easiest to use Country: Russia Average price: 130 rub. Rating (2020): 4.6

A cozy garden is one of the most curious poisons of the rating. It consists of bottom sea sediments that kill the mole cricket upon contact with it. The insect becomes dehydrated within a few hours. There are no toxins or pesticides in the composition. A big advantage is the ease of use: just turn the bottle over, point the nozzle at the affected areas and spray the formula. The drug works in dry, windless weather. It is very afraid of moisture and loses effectiveness in the heat.

Buyers like this method of fighting insects; one pack is enough for a large garden. The result is not long in coming; the mole crickets die within a few hours. Judging by the reviews, many treat plants with this product every year; it is not addictive. Although the cost is high, the formula is economical. The poison is red and green in color and has a very specific smell. Judging by the manufacturer's statement, the latter attracts insects.

Karbofos

Mole crickets are not averse to eating seeds and grain. Resourceful gardeners prepare the following “treat” for them:

• 1 kg of grain oats, wheat, peas, corn or bran;
• 50 g karbofos;
• 30 g unrefined vegetable oil.

Baits are poured into burrows and insect holes. You can spread them on the surfaces of the beds, but in this case the poison can be eaten by beneficial insects and birds.

If there is a massive invasion of cabbageweeds in the area, it is recommended to water the places where they accumulate with one solution of karbofos. It is important to follow the dosage so as not to destroy all living things in the garden. Carry out the treatment late in the evening, when beneficial insects are already sleeping.

Medvetox

Eliminates pests for a long time Country: Russia Average price: 65 rubles. Rating (2020): 4.4

Medvetox enters the intestines of insects, killing pests from the inside. The formula consists of diazinon, flavoring and aromatic additives. The latter attract the mole cricket. The advantage of the drug is its rapid action; the insect’s body reacts very sharply to the poison. To completely protect the garden, you need to dig furrows in the path of the mole cricket. It is recommended to re-treat after a month. Medvetox has no effect on larvae. The manufacturer does not recommend adding the product to the soil if the harvest is less than 2 months away.

Reviews compare the drug to cat food; most buyers noted a strong unpleasant odor. It is tolerated in order to stop attacks on plants; the poison quickly deals with the problem. This remedy requires the most careful use, it is harmful to humans. There are comments from people who have been poisoned. Along with the mole cricket, ants and aphids die.

Calcium carbide

Gardeners successfully wage a “chemical war” with mole crickets: they find the pest’s holes and place 5 g of calcium carbide there. Upon contact with groundwater or rainwater, a violent reaction occurs. Acetylene is released, filling all the passages of the mole cricket. With such chemical exposure, the uninvited guest dies.
