Other Natural Remedies to Protect Your Garden from Bugs
While baking soda is a fantastic option, there are other natural solutions that can help protect your garden from pesky insects:
1. Garlic-Based Insecticide
Garlic is another powerful natural insect repellent. To create a garlic spray, follow these steps:
Crush one garlic clove and add it to a liter of boiling water.
Let the mixture steep in the refrigerator for a week.
After a week, strain the mixture and transfer it to a spray bottle.
Spray the garlic-infused water on your plants. The strong odor of garlic is unpleasant to bugs, especially stink bugs, making them fly away quickly.
2. Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth is a fine powder made from fossilized algae. It works by cutting into the exoskeletons of insects, causing them to dehydrate and die. It’s 100% natural and can be sprinkled around plants to keep bugs away. Be sure to use it in small amounts to avoid harming beneficial insects.
