The caterpillars in the garden are voracious non-refined guests, with an uncontrolled reproduction of which your favorite garden can come to an end. But the settlement of these destroyers in your cozy corner does not mean the death sentence. There are ways to deal with them, which will be told in this article.
The most common types of pest caterpillars
Almost any caterpillar is a pest, because most of them feed on leaves. For the climatic zones of our country, several types of butterflies are the most dangerous: golden, hawker, silkworm, leaflert, etc. Many of them winter on the leaves, creating nests in which simultaneously placed from several hundred to thousands of eggs and caterpillars. If such a family does not destroy before the onset of spring, there may be big problems. But in order to get rid of potential pests in advance, you need to know them in the face.
Caterpillar females
Caterpillar hawsmans ( Aporia Crataegi) is well noticeable in winter. It creates nests on several leaves connected by web. The characteristic place of attachment is the petiole and the base of the sheet plate. In winter, such nests are well noticeable, since only leaves with parasites remain on the bare tree. In one such accumulation can be preserved up to 3 thousand individuals.
Caterpillar Zlatoguzki
Zlatoguk ( EUPROCTIS CHRYSORRHOEA)- Very similar to the behold of the pest. Even the appearance of the caterpillars is similar. But they winter are somewhat different. If the hallee is fastening the nests to cuttings and leaves, then the chipboard prefers sprigs. She wraps the web of the interstice, a few small branches and leaves, creating a dwelling there for the winter. Finding such clusters, they must be removed along with the organs of trees. 
Unpacking silkworm
Silkworms - a large group of pests, among which the most common - non-fine silkworm ( Ocneria Dispar). As a rule, caterpillars develop in forests and fall into the gardens only during mass reproduction. Then they can be noticed early in spring. At first, it is a cluster of 500-600 eggs covered with thin hairs, then the voracious caterpillars are hatched from them, which leaves the leaves and sucks. They are well noticeable, because they have a shaggy surface, allowing them to be transferred from the tree to the tree with the wind.
Lastherktka
Lapticket is one of the most common and dangerous pests. Little pest caterpillars eat almost all - leaves, kidneys, flowers, fruits. The characteristic feature of the parasite - it twists the leaves into the cigaropod-like tube, inside which wears the web and feeds. Insects quickly multiply, giving in one season to three generations to themselves like.
The caterpillar of the leaflet only began to embody the sheet.
The specified types of caterpillars are not all parasites affecting the garden. Many cottage sites there are winter spiders, whitens, hats and other pests. The principles of combating them are quite similar, so we will dwell on them in more detail.
Methods of dealing tracks
Fighting tracks is represented by different ways: ranging from mechanical and finishing chemical. Undoubtedly, insecticides bring the desired result, but after all their presence is affected by the chemical composition of the fruits, bringing harm to a person. Mechanical methods often do not give the desired result.
With a small invasion of caterpillars on the garden or the country area, it is better to use mechanical measures to combat. This will help get rid of them and not harm plants. If there are many pests - boldly resort to the use of chemical agents that certainly get rid of the invasion.
How to cook tracked glue
Crawler Glue - a popular measure of garden pests. Sticky mass attracts caterpillars that stick to her and can't get out. These are the so-called caterpillar traps.
For the preparation of glue take the resin, pork fat and stearin in the 100: 60: 55 ratio. To obtain a homogeneous mixture, the substance is heated, mixed, then cooled and applied to the affected sections of the tree.
There are also cheaper ways using rosin, ordinary glue and other primary means, but they tend to give a smaller result by efficiency.
Other methods of combating insects
Caterpillar on trees won not only with the help of glue. Among the mechanical methods, the packers of the lower part of the tree are quite popular, as well as the swinging of the garden. Such a struggle against pests of plants is quite effective, because the caterpillars of many types of butterflies will not be able to get to the new sources of food. Drop the perimeter of the garden small grooves, and parasites will fall into them without having the opportunity to get out.
Remember that you need to follow the grooves! Periodically check them and destroy the livery accumulated there.
Spraying affected trees insecticides
When mechanical methods do not help, the fight against insects is carried out using "Chemistry". In the spring, when the kidneys do not yet woke up, trees are treated with carboofos solutions, nitrafena, antio emulsion. When the kidneys bloomed, the processing is repeated to avoid re-infection.
It is recommended to use in the fighting biological products. They do not apply such harm to the plant, but they have a serious action on the caterpillar. This is lepyocide, dendrobacillin, Bitoccatillin and others. Remember that when chemical processing is important to comply with precautions!
We defeat the cabbage
Cabbage growing lovers face another problem - caterpillar. The insect amazes the plant and destroys it completely. The methods of combating it are somewhat different from those for garden pests.
Experienced summer houses make a solution of 3 g of salts and 2 g of lime in 100 ml of water. The drug is prepared in such a volume to be able to process all the beds. Spraying spend in the evening and repeat the next day.

Exotic ways to deal with the caterpillar
Some craftsmen recommend and more exotic ways of struggle, for example, with fish infusion. If ordinary methods do not suit you, you can try this one.
Fish grooves with bile insist in the water in a remote place. When the mixture gained an unpleasant smell, it treated affected trees. After some time, all insects disappear without a trace, because they are killed by poison, developed during the decomposition of fish waste.
Methods of dealing with a caterpillar quite a lot, and they all have a wonderful result. It is important to follow your own area, especially early in spring, and fight pests in time until they have multiplied.
