Maybe you didn’t know that head lice can not only affect the hair but also the plants. Not only the plants of gardens and orchards but also on the vegetables that we keep on the balcony and terrace. Of course, having seedlings can be a pleasure for the eyes but you also have to stay behind them a lot.

How to get rid of head lice?
The first method, the most classic, immediate and rudimentary is to shake the plant, be it its petals, branches or leaves. Be careful to shake the plant away from the body or tissues. The second method is to cut off the contaminated branches.
The other methods play on the fact that aphids badly tolerate strong odors. In this case, however, the remedies should first be tried in a corner of the plant to see if you can tolerate them too. The first strong smell to use can be the Marseille soap. The latter should be dissolved in water and vaporized on the plant.
Garlic and chilli they can have the same effect as the macerate of nettles. To use them it is necessary to soak 50 grams of nettles in water for about four hours.
Even the tobacco it’s a excellent repellent. To use it as such, let the tobacco of 3 or 4 cigarettes macerate in 500 ml of water for about two days. The liquid obtained must be filtered and put in a spray in order to vaporize it on the plant.
