SNAILS IN THE GARDEN, IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF THEM IN A MINUTE, USE THIS SPICE YOU HAVE IN YOUR KITCHEN

By Lesia

REPELL SNAILS IN THE GARDEN WITH NATURAL METHODS

To ward off snails, you first have to know what they cannot tolerate.

They stay away from salt, sand, sawdust, ash, coffee grounds : all substances that dry out their bodies, which are 90% water. So simply create barriers with these substances at the entrances to the garden or vegetable garden by adding crushed nuts or eggshells .

Eggshells can also be scattered on the ground: they are sharp and annoying for snails and also provide the soil with calcium.

Copper  is another material that snails detest because when it comes into contact with their slime, it sends out signals that are annoying to them. You can arrange copper wires around plants and crops by adding sandpaper discs.

As mentioned above, one of the smells most detested by slugs is coffee : use a nebulizer and spray it cold on the plants or sprinkle coffee grounds around the plant to be protected.

Get rid of snails with spices and herbs

You can create a barrier against the invasion of snails in the garden and vegetable garden in an even simpler and more natural way. To do this, you just need to plant plants whose smell is particularly unpleasant for the friendly mollusks.

The  spices and herbs  that snails hate the most are  sage, nettle, garlic, chili pepper , as well as  rosemary, mint, parsley, fennel and basil .

You can create a natural barrier by soaking these herbs and then spraying the soil and green areas before going to bed. This way you will not only keep slugs away, but you will also get rid of ants and aphids.

If you use the peperoncino , prepare the macerate in this way:

  • Dissolve two chili peppers in one liter of water;
  • Mix and let stand for 12 hours;
  • filter

Warning: Do not use the chili infusion on cucumber and tomato stems, only on the surrounding soil. Warning: Do not use the chili infusion on cucumber and tomato stems, but exclusively on the surrounding soil.
