As a result, gardening experts at Garden Buildings Direct , have shared a simple trick that can banish slugs from your garden for good. And don’t worry, not only is this method natural and non-toxic, but if you’re on a budget, this simple, cheap solution is just for you. Even better, you may even have the secret in your kitchen cupboard already.
A gardening guru has shared that like vampires, slugs detest the smell and taste of garlic, making it an ideal and affordable deterrent. An expert from Garden Buildings Direct explained: "Forget vampires – slugs are equally repelled by the scent of garlic. "Spraying garlic solution on plants and around the garden creates a natural barrier that slugs will avoid at all costs.
" By blending garlic cloves with water, you can create a potent solution that can be sprayed around your garden, effectively keeping slugs at bay without using harmful chemicals. Daniel Scholfield of The Expert Gate Company also said: "A homemade garlic spray can be an effective deterrent to slugs - rather than a pesticide that can kill them - but only if it's used regularly."
