Ingredients:
Beer 2
Garlic cloves 1
teaspoon
Hot peppers 1
cup
Water
Directions:
Homemade pesticide: To keep snails and ants away use beer.
Place beer in pie tin and set tin into dirt, level with the ground.
Bugs don't like dead bugs: Gather together a collection of dead bugs, place in a blender with water; strain the mix until spraying consistency.
Tiny pests attacking your house plants: Take a tip from your dog and ring them with a flea collar; then cover the plants with plastic bags. Remove in two days and the plants will be bug free.
From Heloise: To keep bugs away, mix garlic, hot peppers and water in the blender. Pour into a spray bottle and apply to plants. You also can put hot sauce on a cotton ball in a house plant pot to repel pests.
