Garlic spray for slugs and caterpillars
Homemade spray for all your pests
This spray helps fight caterpillars, slugs, snails, and all kinds of other pests. Like ants, aphids, caterpillars, and whiteflies.
It contains oil (from the garlic) and soap, so it sticks to the plant. This suffocates aphids and tiny caterpillars.
And it makes the leaf inedible to those pests - not to you 😉.

Snails don't like the garlic smell
They'll avoid the plants you've sprayed.
The smell is pretty intense.
Use the spray, and your garden will smell like a French kitchen.

Recipe for garlic spray
Ingredients:
- 1 liter of water
- 5 cloves of garlic (chopped)
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon of soft soap
Preparation:
Put the water in a spray bottle, along with the chopped garlic and onion. Let it marinate for a few days.
Strain the water and mix it together with the cayenne pepper and soap.
To keep the garlic spray from clogging the nozzle of your spray bottle, strain it again through a coffee filter or a cloth napkin.
(Tip: instead of cayenne pepper, you can also use tabasco. This has the same effect, without risk of clogging).
Then put it in a spray bottle.
Use:
Spray your plants every few days on the tops and undersides of the leaves. It's best to do this in early evening, because that's when the slugs and snails come out.
If you're goal is to fight aphids and larvae, then repeat this until you don't see them anymore.
After a week, spray your plants again to kill eggs and hatched larvae.
After it rains, spray again.
Good luck!
