Plant Lice: 6 Natural Remedies to Eliminate Them

What are the signs of infestation?

Lice prefer to feed on the undersides of leaves, where they are harder to spot. If you notice yellow, wilted, or deformed leaves, it could be a sign of an infestation.

Natural remedies to eliminate plant lice

1. Soft soap : dissolve 10/15 g in a litre of water and spray the mixture on the leaves.
2. Water : It may seem strange but simply spraying water on the leaves will suffice.
3. Organic dish detergent : add a few drops to water and spray on leaves.
4. Denatured alcohol : very effective against lice. Mix equal parts alcohol and water and spray on the leaves.
5. Neem Oil : Add 5 drops to a liter of water and spray on the leaves.
6. Nettle : soak the nettle in water for 3 days. Then dilute 100 ml in 1 litre of water and spray on the leaves.

How to prevent

An effective method to prevent the arrival of lice is to water with warm water and not use chemical and aggressive products.
