They can be bought and disseminated. Use the waters of the following plants: sauce, lavender, tomato, caracolillo, vortex, garlic, fern, manure, avellano, avellano, casp herb and, above all, tobacco. Always add soap to your water, if possible potassium soap. Repeat treatment three times, with a difference of about eight days.
