To get rid of white fly, coat a piece of cardboard in cooking oil, and hang in the glasshouse. The flies are attracted to it, and stick to it!
To get rid of earwigs from inside your flowers, fill a spoon with methylated spirits, light on fire and waft around the flowers. The earwigs shoot out of the flowers because they dont like the fumes!
If is important to wear protective gear when working with chemical sprays (gumboots, plastic trousers and coat, face mask, goggles, gloves) because if the sprays get onto your skin, or into your system (like in your eyes) they can make us very sick.
There are organic sprays that we can make to kill bugs! These are made of garlic and vinigar.
To sort out this information, we did a pass the ball, to talk about all of the information we could remember. We were then put into pairs, and were given a situation to role play. The situation was:
You work in a plant shop, but you have discovered that there are lots of bugs in your plants. What are you going to do about it?
This gave the students the opportunity to share all of the information they knew about how to get rid of bugs!
