How to fight mole crickets: proven methods
An effective approach is a combination of available methods. You should start fighting them in the fall. The pest has natural enemies (predators).
Important and simple points to achieve good results:
1. Do not destroy anthills.
Ants are natural enemies of harmful insects, including caterpillars, ticks, snails, and flies, and help control their population. Red forest sanitarians can destroy up to 70% of the pest's egg-laying within their activity radius. Ants prefer to eat mole cricket eggs among insects. They help in the decomposition of organic remains, cleaning the area of dead insects and carrion. The activity of ants loosens the soil, saturates it with oxygen and minerals, improving its fertility.
2. Do not destroy bird nests.
Birds are the main natural predators of mole crickets. Particularly skilled at extracting them from the ground are rooks, starlings, and hoopoes. In marshy areas, in river floodplains, and near water bodies, the main opponent of the pest becomes the stork. To attract birds to the site, it is effective to install birdhouses and winter feeders.
3. Do not drive away hedgehogs and other mammals and amphibians:
Various animals eat the insect: hedgehogs, shrews, moles, and some amphibians. One hedgehog can destroy up to 15 adult mole crickets in one night.
4. Do not set fire to dry grass and dead wood.
Besides causing harm, this leads to nothing good. Not to mention the risk of burning personal buildings and homes, there are examples of entire settlements and forest areas burning down. Large-scale fires threaten humans and animals, destroying entire biogeocenoses. After leaf fall and fires, the soil significantly loses its fertility because fertility is ensured by bacteria, worms, and insects. Burning grass leads to the death of 90-100% of soil microfauna. The land after leaf fall becomes sand, only Si - silicon, does not react with oxygen during combustion in the soil, while all organic matter, diamonds, and jewels burn.
