How to get rid of beetles on any plants: a viral lifehack

It's true that garden beetles can cause a lot of damage. But ecologists say that killing them with chemicals can also kill crops as beneficial pollinators will be affected as well. That's why gardening enthusiasts are constantly searching for safe remedies to help keep pests away from plants.

And that's exactly the advice given by TikTok user Armen Adamyan, who runs a popular blog about gardening DIY tips. According to him, the life-saving remedy can be found in almost any kitchen. In the nearest supermarket at most. The advice quickly went viral on the Internet.

We are talking about ordinary ground cinnamon. It deters not only insects but also animals. "Check out this quick little trick to get rid of bugs on your plants. If you have some cinnamon at home, take it and sprinkle it around the plant," the blogger claims.

According to him, insects are not the only ones who will avoid approaching a plant treated in this way. Rodents and other animals don't like the smell too.

The trick lies in the fragrance that the spice spreads. Its aroma is pleasant to few living things except humans. Therefore, it is used to make natural and safe plant protection products. Apart from repelling bugs, it is also capable of protecting plants from fungal infestation.

You can mix a small amount of cinnamon directly into the soil to repel insects. However, to maximize the benefits, mix one tablespoon of ground spice with water in a cup or sprayer. Watering will act on insects, while spraying will protect the plants against infections. According to Armen Adamyan, in this way you can stimulate the growth of seedlings and young plants.
