I’m a gardener – my two-ingredient pest control spray works to repel 10 different kinds of bugs from your yard
A GARDENING expert has shared a simple solution that can repel 10 different types of bugs from your yard.
The green-thumbed creator demonstrated how to make the garden-saving mixture.
In her video, TikTok user Linda Van Hemert (@lindavanhemert951) credited fellow gardening enthusiast Potted Gem (@potted_gem) with the tip.
The TikToker explained that the simple hack works to repel a variety of bugs from your plants.
The list includes aphids, mealybugs, mites, caterpillars, armyworms, cutworms, beetles, slugs, mosquitoes, and flies.
To make the homemade natural pest repellant all you need is two ingredients from your kitchen.
For your first step, take a red chili pepper and cut it into thin slices, and add them to your blender.
Take a bulb of garlic and peel it before adding all the cloves into the appliance.
Blend the two ingredients until they form a pureed paste.
Then add water to your mixture and let it sit for 24 hours.
After the solution has soaked up the pepper and garlic, strain it and add the water to a spray container.
Spray the DIY solution around your garden, paying particular attention to areas affected by pests.
The gardener also recommended freezing any leftover solution to prevent it from rotting.
