A garlic-based preparation is a great insect repellent

Insects can be a problem in our flowerpot or in our garden. Some, like the White fly, constitute a plague, which affects many of our vegetables and plants. There are natural remedies against them, we can even make an insect repellent at home.

Plant aromatic near our vegetables is a good preventive measure, but we can also use other repellants, with a homemade solution based on it, a great ally in the fight against insects.To make a garlic repellent, we will put boil for half an hour a liter of water with five well crushed garlic cloves.

We leave cool the water and strain it; the result we can spray on our plant so that a good part of insects do not approach.

The bad thing about this preparation is it is a bad smell that it will leave in our crop, but this bad smell will not affect the taste of the fruits, although it is not advisable to use it in the flowering season, because you have to be careful not to spray it on crops that require pollination. , because garlic also repels bees.

It is effective against mites, slugs, miners, suckers, borers, chewers, aphids, aphids, bacteria, fungi and nematodes.
