Kill Outdoor Pests and Weeds Without Using Toxic Chemicals
Today we are getting rid of weeds and pests outside your home without spending a lot of money on expensive products loaded with toxic chemicals.Let’s start in the garden. Slugs like to come out at night and devour your plants. But Did you know they love beer?
Just set out a shallow container of beer in your garden overnight. The slugs will climb in and drown. They also like grapefruit. Set out grapefruit rinds on some boards. In the morning, simply put the slug covered rinds in the trash.
Vinegar will keep rabbits away. Put cotton balls soaked in vinegar in a small container. Poke a hole in the top and place it in your garden. Repeat every two weeks or so
White vinegar will also get rid of ants. Just pour it on any mounds you find in the yard.
Weeds and grass popping up in walkways and driveway crevices can be killed with white vinegar. Be careful not to use too much or you’ll kill the grass along the sides too.
When you want to get rid of pests and weeds in your garden, do your part by choosing an alternative to harmful chemical pesticides. It’s easy on the environment and your wallet at the same time.
