According to the expert, it is necessary to prepare one very effective insecticide.

The simplest recipe

Arm yourself with 1 liter of water, then pour in 50 grams of ground red pepper. Put the mixture on the fire and boil it for about 10 minutes.

It is extremely important to open all the windows in the house: boiling red pepper can be caustic for mucous membranes and cause irritation.

After the above time has passed, you need to let the mixture sit for 10-12 hours. Then pour it into a spray bottle and spray it on the currant bushes.

Important note: When working with pepper infusion, be sure to use gloves to avoid possible allergic reactions.
