Pesky little insects that share the same habitat as your plants can eventually do serious damage to your plants ruining all of your hard work so it’s important to get rid of them as soon as you spot them. Unfortunately, this is not a one job task, it requires minimal effort but you will need to routinely use repellents to ensure they do not come back. Fortunately, there are many household products that you can use as a natural bug repellent.
We have put together a list of our top 3 everyday items that can be used to repel bugs.
1. Soapy water – mix 5 tablespoons of washing up liquid with 4 cups of water and spray on your plants.
2. Beer – snails and slugs love the taste of beer and by leaving beer on a saucer left outside you can set a beer trap. Oranges or grapefruit juice will also work.
3. Garlic – planting garlic cloves into your soil should act as a repellent for up to a month.
