For many years I have been growing potatoes in the garden, and the fight against the Colorado potato beetle already tires me a lot, and if I don’t do anything, there will be no harvest. Therefore, it is necessary every year to carry out not only the manual collection of the pest, but also to spray the planting chemicals. This year, we acquired Tanrek and were pleasantly surprised by its effectiveness and durability. Practical for the third week, as the Colorado disappeared, the bushes are clean and green. It is very happy.

I have a sick farm, plant and a lot of potatoes.To get a good harvest, I use only effective insecticides that do not adversely affect the crop. Tanrek was perfect for me, since it is sold in an economical package, which is enough to handle a large landing area. And, most importantly, pests die and do not eat the bushes for another 2-4 weeks, which has a positive effect on the crop.
