Pests are every gardener’s nightmare. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to take really good care of your gardens, these pesky little creatures still manage to find their way into them. If you’re faced with an insect problem, identify them first and then look for a solution.
Aphids, for instance, are a pain. They’re soft-bodied, small insects that possess the ability to multiply quickly. They attack buds, leaves, flowers, fruits, and stems so it’s important to keep them under control. If you’ve been dealing with these insects, worry not – there’s an all-natural way to get rid of them.
Using Vaseline can prevent aphids from climbing up into your plants. If they’re already present on some parts of your plant, you can spray them with cold water. The cold blast will dislodge them. Then apply a thick coat of Vaseline to the trunk of your plants. Now, who knew Vaseline could be this versatile?
